Quordle today (game #1021) – the answers
The answers to today’s Quordle, game #1021, are…
- GROIN
- FAULT
- FERRY
- SUITE
Those of you who follow this column regularly (hi!) will know that I start with the same three words each day, STARE, DOILY and PUNCH. And you may also know that I sometimes play an unofficial fourth word when I’m stuck: BEFOG. This is great, because it features three of the common consonants not found in my starters, and it came up trumps again today.
I solved SUITE easily, because I had all five letters there, then got stumped by —RY with a yellow E. I could see that BERRY, BEERY and FERRY were all possibles, so rolled out my magic BEFOG… and turned my fortunes in one go. Not only did it give me the F that I needed for FERRY, but it turned the E green there too, gave me the F for FAULT, and the G for GROIN. Easy-peasy.
