My luck hasn’t been so good when there’s three trap-word choices (Bingo, Dingo, Lingo), but instead of going with a sleuth word, I trusted the B, and happy to have nailed it for once. 🙂 Makes up for guessing wrong on the #2 word…I had three choices for that one too (Fifth, Fight, Filth), but going with Fight or Fifth would tell me what it was.

I’ve been sometimes going with low-use letters over commons lately - not necessarily based on a gut feeling, but trying to “outsmart” Quordle - lol, and sometimes it pays off, other times it doesn’t. You just never know. 🙃

Whenever I do that I usually just end up outsmarting myself instead 😆 With all these repeats lately I think maybe trying to outdumb quordle might work out better!

We’ve had daunt as an answer at least three times now. Have we ever had any other variation of \_aunt as an answer, or is it always daunt? It feels like it’s always daunt.

I was wondering about that as well. I just found a quordle answers list and scanning over it somewhat quickly (long list) found-

9-3-23 daunt  
8-15-23 daunt  
6-25-23 gaunt  
5-12-23 daunt  
12-26-22 gaunt  
7-2-22 gaunt  
5-26-22 gaunt  
5-12-22 haunt

I thought for sure there would have been more haunts and at least one taunt or jaunt.

Dumpy to the rescue once again…saved me from the horrid \_AUNT trap. It also gave me the P for the #2 word, but unfortunately I lost the coin toss with that one.

@EllisDee That’s one helluva large beer to hold - ouch! You’d think they’d give some of the others in that mega trap the limelight now and again, though I think we had Gaunt not long ago too.

@chiliwillybing LOL, outsmart or outdumb…we gotta out something! 😆 Also, thanks for that list…so we _have_ had Gaunt several times too. I didn’t think to check online for past answers.

Yeah, doesn’t make for a very challenging puzzle does it? Even Quordle was that way a bit too with three R words, two of which had double R’s. I feel like they just put a few letters into an anagram solver and toss up the first four they see, regardless of how similar they are. I don’t mind getting _some_ help with repeated letters, but today’s was a little too much help. That said, due to taking 5 guesses to nail that first word, I was kind of glad there wasn’t some type of trap word or something.

It took me a bit to see any words for the #4 word…with only the R in yellow, and only the U left to play, I finally saw Grump and was _sure_ that was it - Gruff wasn’t even on my radar, but it was all it could be from there.

And now it’s Y’s turn for some love and attention. Dryly was kind of a tricky word…I knew it had to be a double letter Y, but it took me a sec to see it. I decided to take my chances on the M over the B (Bossy-Mossy), and glad to get it right, which got me back out of 8’s-ville…at least for the time being. 🙂
