Quordle today (game #936) – the answers

The answers to today’s Quordle, game #936, are…

• HUMUS
• FRONT
• FUNNY
• DRYLY

Lots to get to grips with in today’s Quordle: repeated letters in HUMUS, FUNNY and DRYLY, only two vowels used in total, one word that contains no vowels at all, one word, HUMUS, that is spelled in a really uncommon way.

You’ll have done well if you navigated it all safely, that’s for sure. I managed to solve it with one guess left, but it was touch and go for a while and could have been otherwise if not for a couple of lucky guesses. Oh, and the Daily Sequence answers are pretty tricky, too.
