Quordle today (game #934) - the answers

The answers to today's Quordle, game #934, are…

• STINT
• TRAIL
• DECAL
• BRAIN

My ambition in Quordle is always to solve it, rather than to solve it quickly, but to really challenge myself I'd need to be a little smarter. Today was a good example; I lost guesses to BRAIN (playing GRAIN) and STINT (playing STINK) and ended up only solving it on the final guess. What I should have done, with those two words left, was to play GRUNT – which would have ruled out GRAIN and STING, ruled in STINT and pointed me towards BRAIN. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, right?
