Quordle today (game #939) - the answers
The answers to today's Quordle, game #939, are…
- CHIEF
- SNORT
- OUNCE
- MILKY
It's always helpful when a word has been a recent Wordle answer then appears in Quordle too, and so it was today with OUNCE, which appeared in that other game a couple of weeks ago. In terms of my game, I would have spotted it anyway – my three start words gave me four of the letters in green, and the final one in yellow – but it might be useful for other players, because it could be a tricky answer in isolation (you don't get that many words that begin with two vowels together).
That aside there were no major complications here, although somehow I played LIMBY – which is a stupid guess – rather than MILKY, when faced with an -I--Y answer. Silly.
