The answers to today's Quordle, game #851, are…

  • COPSE
  • STINT
  • SPIRE
  • IONIC

Another day, another mixed Quordle challenge. STINT and IONIC both have repeated letters, and the latter in particular might prove difficult. COPSE is also a potential problem-maker, given that it's not a particularly common word. Against that, there are no uncommon letters here, and I doubt too many people will lose their streak – more that it just might require a bit of brainpower.
