The answers to today’s Quordle, game #1079, are…
- CREED
- FILET
- ROUTE
- TAPER
I made a big error today, getting sucked in to completing the first word and ignoring what was going on with the other three. I could have got ROUTE a lot more quickly if I’d paid attention to the fact that I had all five letters after two guesses, but I got over-confident after landing so many green Es with my start word. That first word is like a magnet on the mind.
That said, I still got there in the end, but it was very much in the hands of the Quordle gods, as TAPER could have been Taker or Tamer.
