Right, the answers are below, so DO NOT SCROLL ANY FURTHER IF YOU DON’T WANT TO SEE THEM.

The answers to today’s Quordle, game #1049, are…

  • BUNCH
  • SHINY
  • MOULT
  • INTRO

After nailing the tactics yesterday – or getting lucky with my Battleships technique – I fell apart today, but I was on the right track with my starter ending in an O.

Some of the best things in life are five letter words that end in O – disco, bongo, mango, erm, photo? Which reminds me of Pablo and his hippo herd. Like many a multi millionaire from the 1980s, the Colombian king narco was fond of displaying his wealth via a collection of exotic animals including four hippos. After he was shot dead, the hippos escaped and rapidly grew to a sizable herd of 166 feral beasts causing havoc and wanton destruction in much the same way as their deceased owner.

The Quordle word that end in O among today’s quartet is the less exciting and more taxing to guess – for me at least – INTRO which was actually my Quordle outro.
