Quordle today (game #973) - the answers
The answers to today's Quordle, game #973, are…
- GUILT
- STERN
- ANNEX
- FIELD
For the second day in a row my Quordle game nearly fell foul of an uncommon letter. Today it was X that tripped me, with ANNEX staying frustratingly out of reach of my brain until the last possible minute, when I'd tried (I think) every other possible letter combination left to me at that point. The double N in the word didn't help either, and nor did the inclusion of GUILT elsewhere; the fact that BUILT also fit meant I had to use up another narrowing-down word to find the correct one.
