- LITHE
- BIRTH
- HUMID
- ROBOT
It was a stressful ending today as I left myself with just three rows to get three words after wasting a go with a hunch that today’s Classic would include a Q.
The final word – ROBOT – took me ages to get, despite having minimal possibilities and knowing there was a rare(ish) B and two Os. Still untangling the brain knots and getting there with the correct word is a big part of the joy – or relief – of Quordle.
