The answers to today’s Quordle, game #991, are…

I don’t know about you, but I love the idea of a PUSHY ZEBRA. You know, taking all the other animals away from the watering hole so he can have it all to himself, that kind of thing. I’m sure there’s a Pixar animation in there somewhere. But I digress. ZEBRA is perhaps the hardest word in Quordle today, although ANIME does give it some competition. Not only does it start with a very unusual letter shaped like Z, but it also has a B in an unusual place (B usually starts with words and not much else). ANIME, meanwhile, is mostly regular letters (M is the little outlier), but caused a lot of problems when it was a Wordle answer a while ago. In short: difficult day, folks.
