Quordle today (game #1027) – the answers

The answers to today’s Quordle, game #1027, are…

You’ll need to have been careful with one word in particular in today’s Quordle – because FOUND is potentially a streak-ender. It may look innocent enough at first glance, with no uncommon or repeated letters, but that -OUND format is one of the most common in the game, with eight possible solutions: WOUND, ROUND, POUND, HOUND, FOUND, SOUND, MOUND and BOUND. Narrowing them down was therefore the key to solving this game – and you’ll need to have done it strategically rather than simply by guessing options, for that first letter, because there are simply too many of them.

At least the other three words were not too bad in comparison, so this probably counts as a moderately difficult Quordle, rather than an impossible one. Small victories, eh?
