The answers to today’s Quordle, game #869, are…

There are a few uncommon words in Quordle today. LIEGE is not a term you see very often, and it’s also a tricky one to solve thanks to those two Es. TIARA, meanwhile, is another one you don’t see that often; well, unless you’re a royal, I guess. And again, it has a repeated vowel, in this case two As.

GONER doesn’t have any repeated letters, but is a rather more casual word than most in Quordle, so again may have been difficult. Ironically, though, the one word I lost a guess on was CLANK, playing CLANG first. Typical.
