Quordle today (game #1012) – the answers

The answers to today’s Quordle, game #1012, are…

• FIFTY
• GULCH
• RECUT
• TWEET

I needed a lucky guess to solve today’s Quordle. I’d completed the other three quadrants without too many problems, but was left with the top left. At that stage the answer could have been BITTY, KITTY or FIFTY, so really I should have narrowed it down. But I was impatient, played FIFTY, and got it right.

I then repeated the trick on the Daily Sequence, solving each one on the first guess when I probably didn’t deserve to. That kind of attitude will surely come back to haunt me at some point, but sometimes you have to just go for it, eh?
