It does not mean that there are no vowels there. More on that later in the article. Let us see which hints you can use from the lot we have for you in this article, and then we will come to the answers for today’s Quordle. We suggest that you should take a peek at the first couple of hints to minimise the tries; otherwise, the end of the gameboard may stare at you with unfinished words. So, spoilers it is, isn’t it?

Analysis of Today’s Quordle Game #1006

Today’s Quordle looked pretty sparsely coloured after two or three guesses. It was even more challenging that the vowels for two words were different; the other two had the same vowel. So, most players reached the third guess trying to figure out the vowel. Then, a guess or two to understand if there are any repetitions. To make this more difficult, all the consonants in the word are different except for C, which is in three words. This Quordle is solvable from the fourth try for most players; even then, it’s not a straightforward correct guess from there. Phew! We hope you made it through before the ninth guess. See you tomorrow on Lazy Sunday, Quordlers!
