Quordle today (game #966) - the answers
The answers to today's Quordle, game #966, are…
- ROUGE
- SWAMP
- FUGUE
- UNDUE
You'll have found today's Quordle to be a lot easier if you included a U in an early guess – because there are five of them in this game, including two in FUGUE and UNDUE. In fact, it's a vowel-heavy Quordle in general: 10 of the 20 letters are A, E, O or U (there are no 'I's today), so assuming you did the sensible thing and played all of them early on you'll have been fine.
Or at least you should have been – because the letters aside it's not necessarily easy. FUGUE is an uncommon word, there are a couple of repeated letters on the board and ROUGE could have been ROGUE just as easily. A real mixed bag.
