Quordle today (game #842) – the answers
The answers to today’s Quordle, game #842, are…
- ABUSE
- MANGY
- WAGER
- AHEAD
Today’s Quordle puzzle doesn’t have too many complications as such – no uncommon letters or words, only one repeated letter – I found it to be quite a difficult one. The reason for that was in large part due to the large number of vowels, and the inclusion of several consonants that are not among my three starting words, STARE, DOILY and PUNCH.
Though having vowels is helpful, they don’t usually give a word the structure that consonants do, so I struggled to work out what the likes of AHEAD and ABUSE were. And on the consonants front, I had to add in B, M, G and W, none of which are in my start words. Still, I got there in the end.
