You'll find clues for the main puzzle below, but none for the Sequence because you get 10 guesses there and I assume if you're playing that game you know what you're doing by now. If I'm wrong, drop me a note and let me know!

As with yesterday's Quordle I had to ride my luck a little today in order to preserve my streak. Partly that was bad luck – my three start words cover 15 of the most common letters in the game (or at least in Wordle, but the stats are likely to be very similar), but W, M and F are not among those 15. Given that W and F start all four answers between them, and M appears in one too, that left me scrambling to get across the line within my nine guesses.
The inclusion of an X within WAXEN didn't help, either; I played WAKEN first and lost one guess there. Still, I escaped with a last-gasp solve; hopefully you completed them all too.
