The answers to today’s Quordle, game #985, are…
ELECTCROAKFRISKJAUNT
My Quordle game has been poor of late, and today I failed for the second time in a little over a week. I have nobody but myself to blame, rushing through the answers once again and getting tripped up this time by JAUNT. I could see the answer was an -AUNT word with two guesses left, but guessed VAUNT and was left with a 50/50 between JAUNT and TAUNT. What I should have done was to have played a word such as JIVED on the penultimate attempt, which would have guaranteed me the answer on the next.
