I’m allowing myself a deep sigh of satisfaction and some shoulder dusting today, after completing Quordle without a hitch. I’ll save my rooster dance for if I ever finish after six turns (unlikely).
In truth, the only tricky word was ASCOT and I only got that as it’s been in Quordle before, but hey they all count.
