Quordle today (game #987) – the answers
The answers to today’s Quordle, game #987, are…
- CAULK
- HALVE
- APING
- HEATH
Hands up if you remember CAULK appearing in Wordle and causing no end of problems soon after that game went viral? I certainly do; I was writing about it for our sister site Tom’s Guide at the time and remember being swamped with emails complaining that it wasn’t a fair word. It is a fair word, of course, albeit one that you might not be familiar with if you’re not into DIY. I’m not, but fortunately I remembered it from then, so was able to find it easily enough here.
