Quordle today (game #1018) – the answers
The answers to today’s Quordle, game #1018, are…
I’ve been using the same Quordle strategy since I started playing a few years ago, with only a few failed experiments to try an alternative. It generally works pretty well, in that my streak often reaches well into the double digits, but it’s rarely as useful as it is today.
I started with STARE, DOILY, and PUNCH as always, and today I got all twenty letters I needed to complete the four quadrants. Yes, all 20 of them. That meant that my challenge was simply to solve four anagrams, a task that didn’t tax me too much, despite the presence of a few tricky words.
If you don’t use a similar strategy – or have a better one – you may have struggled with SYNOD, which is a relatively unusual word, and a word with a Y in an unusual position. The other three weren’t that bad though, so this isn’t close to being the hardest Quordles ever.
