Quordle today (game #909) - the answers

The answers to today's Quordle, game #909, are…

• LIVER
• PERIL
• JEWEL
• PROWL

There are potentially some difficult words in today's Quordle, but I got lucky and didn't face any major trouble in beating the game. JEWEL is probably the toughest, because it's the only one that contains a repeated letter, plus it starts with a (very) uncommon letter in J, and also contains a relatively uncommon W. On the plus side, that W was also in PROWL, so solving one may have helped solve the other.

The Daily Sequence words were probably harder still, so good luck with that one!
