Quordle today (game #994) - the answers
The answers to today's Quordle, game #994, are…
- ROGUE
- STORY
- EMCEE
- AUNTY
More tricky words in today's Quordle; but then when was that not the case? ROGUE always trips me up, because for some reason I always play ROUGE first. EMCEE is a nightmare with its three Es and its uncommon MC bit in the middle. Yes, the other two are standard words, but when 50% of them are toughies, it ramps up the difficulty a lot.
