Quordle today (game #1042) – the answers
The answers to today’s Quordle, game #1042, are…
This was a relatively standard Quordle without any particularly awkward words, but for some reason I struggled to solve it all the same. I completed it, sure – and with two guesses to go. But that had more to do with luck, after my set start words gave me all five letters for one answer and four for the other three.
Despite that, it took me an inordinately long time to work out what MICRO was, and NAIVE was similarly confusing to my tired brain.
