Quordle today (game #871) - the answers
The answers to today's Quordle, game #871, are…
- NORTH
- MOUND
- PEACE
- RETRY
RETRY is a nasty word for a Quordle game, isn't it? It contains a repeated R, which isn't itself that uncommon, but also has an E and T in less usual positions. It took me a while to find it, but that wasn't actually the word I struggled most with – no, that would be MOUND.
MOUND is one the worst formats you can get in Wordle/Quordle, because with that first letter missing you have so many options: WOUND, ROUND, POUND, HOUND, FOUND, SOUND, BOUND, as well as MOUND itself. It's just about the worst of these words, with only -IGHT (WIGHT, RIGHT, TIGHT, LIGHT, FIGHT, SIGHT, MIGHT, NIGHT, BIGHT) having more possible answers, I think.
I took the safe option in order to solve it today, playing WOMBY in order to rule out WOUND, MOUND and BOUND in one go – and succeeded in ruling in MOUND instead.
