If number of distinct letters is a measure of a Quordle’s difficulty – and it certainly can be – then today’s is further towards hard than easy. It contains 14 characters, including an X and two Ks, so depending on how the letters fell for you, it may have been a tough one to solve.
I didn’t find it too hard myself, fortunately. My start words gave me 12 of those letters – minus the X and K – and 16 of the 20 letters needed in total, which is not too bad as these things go. I messed up a little with EXIST, for some reason playing FIEST, which I’m not sure is a word but which Quordle inexplicably accepted – but otherwise it was fairly mundane.
