The answers to today’s Quordle, game #1010, are…

Double-Os are the bane of my life. Well, my word-puzzle life, at least. They always give me a headache in Wordle and so it was today too, with SLOOP costing me a guess when I played SPOOL first. What I should have done was to have solved one of the ‘easier’ words first, but then again there was another OO lurking within BROOD, so maybe it wouldn’t have made any difference. On the plus side, the B in that word gave me BRINE too, and FLUID was (I think) the only that fit by the time I got to it, so this was an eight day for me.
