DRIER
QUITE
Today's Quordle was a dream ride for me after a series of traffic jams, with my first guesses being correct and all the letters turning green.
On reflection, I wasn't that much of a genius as I had four correct or incorrect letters for each word with my three starter words paying dividends.
QUITE felt like a magic guess but the reality is there was no other option – even though I didn't know it at the time.
Hope it was a good one for you. Thanks Quordle gods.
