The answers to today’s Quordle, game #1070, are…
PURER
SPLAT
RABID
EMCEE
A tricky one today, with a triple-letter word EMCEE, which is the pronounced abbreviation to MC (short for master of ceremonies) and a sound word (SPLAT).
That said, PURER was the word I struggled over the most, as none of the words I could think of with a U and ending in ER were possible with the letters I had left. I always forget to try a repeat letter, but when I do it often leads to the solution and so it proved today.
