The answers to today's Quordle, game #955, are…

  • SNIDE
  • EGRET
  • AMONG
  • SHINY

EGRET was a famously tough Wordle answer when it appeared in July 2022; it had an average score of 4.4, which placed it way above most Wordles, which overall sit at around 3.9. And – surprise, surprise – it proved every bit as hard for me to solve in Quordle today.

I had three stabs at it, and guessed METER first, then GREET, and finally EGRET when it was the only word that would fit. That left me only one guess left for the final answer, which was AMONG – but thankfully by playing M and G as part of my EGRET guesswork, I did at least have the required letters for that and solved this Quordle on the final attempt.
