Quordle today (game #836) - the answers
The answers to today's Quordle, game #836, are…
WOUND
IGLOO
MEALY
PASTY
It's always worth having a favorite narrowing-down word or two on hand, for when patterns appear that have several solutions. BEFOG is one of my top choices, because B, F and G are all relatively common consonants and none are included in my three set start words of STARE, DOILY and PUNCH. Therefore, when I get a pattern like -OUND – which could still be BOUND, WOUND or FOUND, even with lots of other letters ruled out – I can play BEFOG and be fairly sure of solving it in two guesses, rather than possibly needing three.
What's more, it may gave you another yellow or green letter in another segment, which is what happened today with the G; it wasn't needed in -OUND, but it appeared in IGLOO and helped me solve that one more easily than might otherwise have been the case.
