Quordle today (game #843) - the answers
The answers to today's Quordle, game #843, are…
- COVEY
- TWEAK
- DITTO
- DECAY
I got a little lucky with today's Quordle. The word COVEY is not one I was familiar with until long ago, and frankly it may well have caused me significant problems if not for a fortunate coincidence.
I use a random start word in Wordle now (having previously opened with STARE each day), and COVEY was the word that my computer dealt up to me on Tuesday. It wasn't massively helpful in that game, but was fresh in my mind for this Quordle.
TWEAK and DITTO were also relatively tough, making this a moderately hard game overall. The Daily Sequence puzzle, meanwhile, was even harder; who knew that TONGA was a noun? Not me...
