Quordle today (game #847) - the answers

The answers to today’s Quordle, game #847, are…

This is potentially a very difficult Quordle, although as always much will depend on what your strategy is. Mine is to begin with three set words, STARE, DOILY and PUNCH, which between them use 15 of the most common letters in the alphabet, including all five vowels. Plus, most of those letters feature in their most common positions; for instance S is likely to be at the start, Y at the end and so on.

Sometimes, it just works. Today was one of those days. And it was just as well, because with repeated letters in SPREE, CACHE and RADII, and with the latter being a more obscure word than most, too, it could have been much harder for me. However, my three start words gave me a really good opening and I was able to solve each of them in consecutive guesses after that, leaving me with two guesses spare.
