CHEAT  
ROUND  
SLIMY  
OCTET - 4  
GULAG  
PUPAL - 6  
BEEFY - 7  
ABYSS - 8

This one had me stumped for a while. OCTET was a guess, and then I couldn’t see anything for the other three words. I figured the second word was \_U\_A\_ (with an L); I thought GULAG was more likely than PUPAL. That eliminated GEEKY and WEEPY, so I couldn’t see anything other than BEEFY for the next word. And the B gave me the nudge I needed for ABYSS.

A tough puzzle for me. I’ll take an 8.

Nice to get another 6 two days in a row…doesn’t happen very often. 😀 Granted, getting the W in one of those two words helped know what the other was, as well as the D too, except there were two choices I was seeing between Drake and Drape. I also got lucky with Shady vs. Shank too. I’ll take it!

Me too…there wasn’t a lot to go on - nothing but yellows and not enough letters. Took me a bit to see the words, but like you, I was glad to get an 8.

Should have gone with a sleuth word early on for this game, but just was kind of winging it instead. I knew putting Frizz in was taking a risk…I just wasn’t seeing any other words at that point. At least Rigid and Privy narrowed down that huge \_A\_ER trap, but I still had 2 choices…glad to squeak by with a 9 on this one.

* * *

* * *

@Robot_Arm There also was Parer as a choice too…you still would have been safe though if it was that. I would have failed, so I was really glad it was Paper!

AZURE - 4  
BEZEL - 5  
LEDGE  
DELVE - 7  
MAMMA - 8

Tough game tonight; two Zs, a V, and a triple-letter-double-letter.

I figured I was taking a chance with AZURE, but it was right and gave me the Z for BEZEL. A little unlucky with LEDGE, but only cost me one guess. I kept thinking the last word would have a P, something like \_\_AMP, but I couldn’t find anything that worked. I figured if MAMMA was wrong it would still give me info for one more guess.

Good luck, everyone.

I probably should have played CLUED on the third guess. I would have gotten the L for free, and could have played something other than SLIMY (maybe WISPY) if I needed it at guess four. Maybe could have had a 6.

Kind of a tough one with all the lower use letters and the two doubles and one triple, but there weren’t that many choices that I could see…took a bit to see Bezel though, even though we’ve had it before, it just wasn’t coming to me right away.

@Robot_Arm Nice guess with Azure…I saw it, but decided to go with the more common word.

@chiliwillybing Just wanted to say Hi! 👋 I hope all is well and you’re just busy or taking a word game break. If you haven’t been playing, you’ve missed out on some interesting words that have come up recently in both Quordle and Sequence - lol.

GIDDY

I was a little worried after GIDDY; three guesses left and didn’t have much info for the last two words. I think DIZZY was the only possibility. I wasn’t sure about POPPY, but at worst it would give me info for the last guess.

I’m always a bit reluctant to make guesses with uncommon letters, but I hadn’t really thought about why. If they aren’t correct, those rare letters aren’t likely to give much new info.

With that sparse opening, DUMPY sure helped! But then I needed a 2nd sleuth word to sort out four D words - I was glad ZINGY would tell me which of the four words it was. 🙂

@Robot_Arm There also was Divvy, so you lucked out not seeing that one! I had Dingy and Dinky too, but you had those ruled out. Seems they’ve been giving the lower use letters some attention lately. I also don’t like guessing those letters either, unless there looks to be more than one word that could have the letter, or of course the only possibility.

I always thought divy was spelled with one ‘v’. Do you happen to remember if DIVVY has ever been an answer in quordle?

Does anyone know if quordle uses the same list of possible answers as wordle? I think there are sites that list previous wordle answers. It might be useful someday to check that list.

@Robot_Arm Divvy hasn’t been an answer yet, though I’m not 100% sure - I have only been able to find one website that has the previous Quordle answers, and they have skipped some months. They also only have the previous answers through April 2024, so it looks like they may not be updating it anymore.

Unless Quordle got the original Wordle answer list when it was floating around online (and has since been changed by NYT), they aren’t using it. Quordle is owned by Merriam-Webster, so anything that is in that online dictionary is game.
