Quordle today (game #1030) – the answers
The answers to today’s Quordle, game #1030, are…
- NINJA
- PENCE
- PAINT
- FOIST
I very nearly failed for the second day in a row here, with the culprit this time being FOIST. Actually, the culprit was my brain, which should have spotted that FOIST, JOIST and MOIST were all valid answers to -OIST (with HOIST having been ruled out already), and that I should therefore have played something like JUMBO in order to rule out two of them. I didn’t, so wasted three guesses on getting that one right then had to solve the remainder with no room to spare.
Fortunately I did that today, and in fact guessing JOIST earlier gave me the J I needed for NINJA, arguably an even harder word, what with its repeated N, uncommon J and uncommon format. I will try harder tomorrow!
