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 #1077, are…

  • BORAX
  • JUDGE
  • CADET
  • SALON

I surprised myself today by getting two words with tricky letters – BORAX and JUDGE – before the drawbridge went up. Although, having said that, if the drawbridge was on any kind of a timer I would definitely be on the wrong side of the moat.

In my defence I took my time to avoid my repeated mistake of forgetting letters and wasting lines and guesses that could never be right. Progress.
