Quordle today (game #818) – the answers
The answers to today’s Quordle, game #818, are…
I solved today’s Quordle with two guesses remaining, but that owed far more to my strategy of beginning with three fixed start words than it did to any intelligence on my part. Today’s game is a really, really tough one – and frankly, I got lucky.
For starters, one of the words, CAVIL, is one I simply didn’t know. I think of myself as a relatively erudite person, but I’ve simply never come across it before; for the uninitiated, it means “to raise trivial and frivolous objection”, according to Merriam-Webster dictionary.
Beyond that, MANGA is also a bit of a nightmare word, with repeated As of which one sits at the end of a word. Plus, FUNKY has a format that can regularly be found in other words; FUNNY, primarily, but also PUNKY and HUNKY and possibly the likes of LUCKY and PINKY.
Fortunately for me, my start words – STARE, DOILY and PUNCH – gave me everything I needed to solve CASTE right away, and with FUNKY I made an educated guess knowing that I could play FUNNY next if I was wrong. MANGA was more of a stab in the dark, but it worked, and that left CAVIL. Here I really was scratching around for a while, but I’d used to many letters by then that it was the only word I could find that Quordle would accept, so I played it and was relived when all five letters turned green.
On the plus side, the Sequence was pretty simple today at least.
