Quordle today (game #1087) – the answers
The answers to today’s Quordle, game #1087, are…
- RISEN
- PLATE
- RURAL
- ENVOY
I was just one letter away from my Quordle personal best score today, guessing ENJOY instead of ENVOY.
Getting RISEN on my third guess was the game unlocker; after forming RISE with the letters I had, I toyed with RISER, but got lucky with the right choice. Before guessing TEACH – which led me to PLATE – I considered entering EXACT, but backed out because of the rarity of the letter X.
Meanwhile, I completed today’s Sequence puzzle in six which is making me wonder if the word-by-word technique would get me better results in the main game too.
