Quordle today (game #838) – the answers
The answers to today’s Quordle, game #838, are…
- SPINY
- FRAME
- GOOEY
- FERAL
Another tricky Quordle that I only ended up solving on the final guess. I don’t think I was ever in that much danger; I had enough attempts to play a narrowing-down word on the seventh go, in order to identify FRAME, and got lucky with the opening F there also forming the start of FERAL. Neither GOOEY or SPINY were exactly straightforward solves either, so I was relieved to escape this Quordle with my streak intact.
