The answers to today's Quordle, game #964, are…

  • ESSAY
  • GENRE
  • WIMPY
  • CHUTE

You don't hear the word WIMPY often, do you? But here it is in today's Quordle, lurking within those squares and waiting to trip you up. In fact, all four of today's words are potentially difficult – there are repeated letters in ESSAY and GENRE, while CHUTE is another fairly uncommon word – but I wouldn't place it among the most difficult overall. There are none of those really obscure letters, for starters – you know the ones, X and Q and Z and J – and plenty of vowels scattered throughout. File this was under 'middling'.
