Quordle today (game #839) - the answers
The answers to today's Quordle, game #839, are…
- BLAST
- FRONT
- CLACK
- EAGLE
This is a relatively tough Quordle, and I needed one extra guess on top of my standard seven to solve it. That was partly on account of my guessing FLACK before CLACK, which I think I can be excused because the former is a more common (and more obvious) word.
EAGLE might also have required a little more thought; not only does it have a repeated E, but it places one of them at the start of the answer. As I show in my analysis of every Wordle answer – the details for which will largely apply to Quordle too – while E is incredibly common overall, it's not particularly likely to start a solution.
Still, I got there in the end, and hopefully you did too.
