The answers to today's Quordle, game #814, are…

  • COLON
  • EQUIP
  • SUITE
  • BLURB

This is potentially a more difficult Quordle today, because there's a Q in EQUIP and two repeated letters, including the Bs at the start and end of BLURB. B is not a common letter to be repeated, and that word might have caught out a few people today. EQUIP, on the other hand, may have occurred more readily than might have been the case, given that it was the Wordle answer on Monday.

I had a lot of luck with my three start words, so was able to navigate those issues without any major headaches.
