Quordle today (game #1037) – the answers

The answers to today’s Quordle, game #1037, are…

• PRIED
• FAINT
• HURRY
• WOOER

There are three things that you need to know about today’s game. One, I lost. Again. Two, that was my own fault to a large extent, the result of a really stupid mistake, then a poor strategic decision. And three – I’m delighted about it all, because it’s a great story (well, to an extent; it’s not Catch-22).

That’s because the answer I lost on, WOOER, is my nemesis; the only answer I ever failed on Wordle’s first 1250-odd games. I’d played it via the original Wordle archive some time after the game launched (and before the NYT unceremoniously shut it down) and was defeated by its combination of being an ER word, having a repeated letter, containing a very unusual format with three vowels in a row, and it being a slightly ridiculous word that people generally don’t use in real life.

I think I would have failed it again even if I hadn’t have messed up my fourth guess, going for PRIDE when it couldn’t be the answer (it was PRIED), but we’ll never know. Instead, I’ll have to accept another Quordle loss, and another loss to WOOER.
