The answers to today's Quordle, game #1203, are…
QUASH
MUNCH
ALTER
UNDUE
Quordle threw a couple of curveballs our way today, in the shape of QUASH and UNDUE. There aren't many words that contain two Us, so that one in particular may have been tricky to spot.
But the hardest word here was MUNCH, simply because there are so many -UNCH words: PUNCH, LUNCH, HUNCH and BUNCH, as well as the answer itself. I solved it, but needed to play HIMBO to rule out three of those words in one go.
