REPAYSYNODLOATHPITHY
I’ve been using the same Quordle strategy since I began playing a couple of years ago, with only a few unsuccessful experiments at trying an alternative. It generally works fairly well, in that my streak often extends well into double figures – but it’s rarely as helpful as it was today.
I began with STARE, DOILY and PUNCH as always, and today that gave me all 20 letters that I needed to complete the four quadrants. Yes, all 20 of them. That meant my challenge was simply to solve four anagrams, a task which didn’t tax me too much despite the presence of a couple of tricky words.
If you don’t employ a similar strategy – or have a better one – you may have struggled with SYNOD, which is a relatively uncommon word, and one that features a Y in an uncommon position. The other three weren’t too bad, though, so this doesn’t rank anywhere near the hardest Quordles ever.
