The answers to today’s Quordle, game #1007, are…

Today’s Quordle serves up a complicated collection of words that may well cause people some difficulties. It was a game that I didn’t even try to solve in seven guesses, the best I can ever do with my strategy of playing three set start words; I added BEFOG as an unofficial fourth start word, because I could see there were too many possibilities (and not information) for any of the four answers.

BEFOG gave me the G for STUNG, which could also have been STUNK at that time, plus the B for BASIS. I still needed to spot the repeated S in the latter, but as it turned out there was nothing else that fit.

CLOUT was not so bad, but SOWER… well, it’s not exactly a common word, is it? I was certainly glad to get home with a guess to spare, at any rate.
