Quordle today – my hints and answers for Sunday, January 12 (game #1084)

Quordle was one of the original Wordle alternatives and is still going strong now more than 1,000 games later. It offers a genuine challenge, though, so read on if you need some Quordle hints today – or scroll down further for the answers.

Enjoy playing word games? You can also check out my NYT Connections today and NYT Strands today pages for hints and answers for those puzzles, while Marc’s Wordle today column covers the original viral word game.

SPOILER WARNING: Information about Quordle today is below, so don’t read on if you don’t want to know the answers.

* Note that by vowel we mean the five standard vowels (A, E, I, O, U), not Y (which is sometimes counted as a vowel too).

If you just want to know the answers at this stage, simply scroll down. If you’re not ready yet then here’s one more clue to make things a lot easier:

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 #1084, are…

  • BRIEF
  • PETAL
  • WOMAN
  • FELON

I don’t know if it’s the fact that I’m playing a lot of Quordle (and Wordle), but I’m reaching that stage where I’m kidding myself that I’m achieving synergy with the puzzle setters.

The reason for this is that today I landed two words, PETAL and FELON, without really thinking about it or looking at what letters I had left – they just landed in my head.

Of course, the other possibility is sheer luck, but it’s nice to kid myself for a little while.
