Quordle today (game #1086) – the answers
The answers to today’s Quordle, game #1086, are…
- SWARM
- SCRAP
- ONION
- BELCH
I was delighted today to get ONION from three letters, but my biggest achievement was BELCH, after deducing the word must end in CH – not that it could have been much else by that stage.
It was interesting to learn that as well as meaning “bringing up wind”, Belch is also a slang word for bad beer – which makes perfect sense in that context.
