Right, the answers are below, so DO NOT SCROLL ANY FURTHER IF YOU DON’T WANT TO SEE THEM.

Quordle today (game #851) – the answers

The answers to today’s Quordle, game #851, are…

• COPSE
• STINT
• SPIRE
• IONIC

Another day, another mixed Quordle challenge. STINT and IONIC both have repeated letters, and the latter in particular might prove difficult. COPSE is also a potential problem-maker, given that it’s not a particularly common word. Against that, there are no uncommon letters here, and I doubt too many people will lose their streak – more that it just might require a bit of brainpower.
