The answers to today's Quordle, game #1050, are…
TITAN
FORTE
SPEED
BRIAR
Quordleheads who look at my guesses today will immediately ascertain that I did not have a clue what I was doing and wasted turns without a clear goal or strategy.
I knew that my last word couldn’t begin with an F, but I couldn’t think of any other words that ended in IAR, which had to be my last three letters.
Somehow I got there, scraped through, and claimed victory from the jaws of defeat through sheer dint off just carrying on, but it hardly warrants a victory lap of the office, the brushing of imaginary dust from one's shoulders, and fist bump explosions with my imaginary friends.
In brief, this is not my FORTE, but I got there, somehow.
