Quordle today (game #1046) – the answers

The answers to today’s Quordle, game #1046, are…

• AGING
• BICEP
• CLOVE
• SPILL

Small spelling differences often catch us out in the UK (where I am) when doing US-based puzzles like Quordle – and it was almost my nemesis today when I plumped for the highly unlikely AXING instead of AGING.

BICEP I should have seen quicker, not least because C and P are unusual, but also because I love listening to a bit of the Northern Irish duo Bicep when I’m down the gym working on my biceps in an attempt to curb ageing or aging.
