Quordle today (game #872) - the answers
The answers to today's Quordle, game #872, are…
- MERIT
- RASPY
- THOSE
- WATER
There's only really one word that might cause some problems here, namely RASPY – which is rather uncommon. It's a perfectly fair inclusion for Quordle, but it's not a word you see very often at all, and so might have remained out of reach of your brain. I didn't have that problem, fortunately, thanks to my set start words giving me all of the letters I needed there. None of the others caused me any trouble either, meaning this was one of the easier Quordles of the week.
