Quordle today (game #993) – the answers
The answers to today’s Quordle, game #993, are…
A combination of some uncommon (and uncommonly spelled) words and a relative dearth of vowels combine here to make this a tricky Quordle. On the latter point, NYMPH doesn’t have any and THUMB only one, and while PUREE has three, the repeated Es rather counteract the fact that theoretically they might make it easier.
For my game, I was hampered a little by the fact that my three set start words, STARE, DOILY and PUNCH, don’t contain F, M or B, meaning I needed to track them down too and required an extra guess beyond my minimum (which would be seven) in order to solve them all.
