The answers to today’s Quordle, game #956, are…

There are a couple of potential complications to look out for in today’s Quordle – repeated Ls in LOCAL and repeated Os in WOOLY – but it’s not a horribly difficult puzzle. In fact, the word I struggled most with was NIGHT, which has no repeated letters and which is an incredibly common word. But for some reason, I always fail to spot it for ages, possibly because the GHT combination at the end is fairly unusual.

Anyway, my start words came up trumps to give me plenty of letters for all four of the answers, so my fledgling streak was never under any real threat.
