Although it may not look like it, I felt like I’ve started the Quordle year well with today’s challenge.
I took it down to the final guess but it was a relatively stress-free guess, as I’d had WORRY, TUNIC and SUITE in the bag for a while as I circled around getting the final word – in fact looking at it again, there’s lots of room for improvement.
Happy New year everyone!
