The answers to today’s Quordle, game #978, are…

Yesterday I failed the main ‘classic’ Quordle; today it was the Daily Sequence that did for me. It was the same deal as yesterday, frankly – a failure on my part to allow for words that have multiple answers separated by only one letter. And so it was that I guessed TAMER and TAPER before TAKER, FROCK before CROCK and failed to reach SATYR. The classic version was a cinch in comparison.
