Quordle today (game #896) – the answers
The answers to today’s Quordle, game #896, are…
M doesn’t feature among my three start words, but it would have been very helpful today if it did, because it appears in DATUM, SLUMP and CHUMP. Fortunately that didn’t matter, because U and P are both among the 15 letters I play at the start – and working out that M would go between them for UMP was enough to get my game going.
KNOLL is the odd one out here; it doesn’t have an M, but it does contain a repeated L and a silent K, and is arguably the toughest answer here as a result. Both M and K also featured in the Daily Sequence, so you’ll have wanted to play them early on there for the best chance to win that variant too.
