Quordle today (game #1029) - the answers
The answers to today's Quordle, game #1029, are…
- ASCOT
- BRINK
- WEIRD
- HOMER
Arrggghhh! What a disaster. Yes, I lost my streak today, courtesy of some really slapdash play by me when I was in a rush. A couple of the words were tricky, admittedly, but I still should have done better.
Three of the four words gave me problems; ASCOT is a common word in Quordle, even if not in general life, and I should have guessed that before TACOS, which is a plural and therefore won't be an answer. D'oh! I guess my stomach got the better of me there.
HOMER, meanwhile, was a word that gave me all kinds of trouble in Wordle when it appeared early on in the game's run, and here I needed two stabs at it, going for HOVER first. That left me a 50/50 between BRING and BRINK, with no way for me to know which it was. And here my luck ran out – I went for BRING, but the answer was BRINK and I lost for the first time in a couple of months.
