Quordle today (game #1049) – the answers
The answers to today’s Quordle, game #1049, are…
- BUNCH
- SHINY
- MOULT
- INTRO
After nailing the tactics yesterday – or getting lucky with my Battleships technique – I fell apart today, but I was on the right track with my starter ending in an O.
Some of the best things in life are five letter words that end in O – disco, bongo, mango, erm, photo? Which reminds me of Pablo and his hippo herd. Like many a multi millionaire from the 1980s, the Colombian king narco was fond of displaying his wealth via a collection of exotic animals including four hippos. After he was shot dead, the hippos escaped and rapidly grew to a sizable herd of 166 feral beasts causing havoc and wanton destruction in much the same way as their deceased owner.
The Quordle word that end in O among today’s quartet is the less exciting and more taxing to guess – for me at least – INTRO which was actually my Quordle outro.
