The answers to today’s Quordle, game #1366, are…

  • SLEPT
  • OCTAL
  • SLIMY
  • ANGRY

Even though I had all five letters for it, I left the second word until last as I was really struggling to think of any words containing those letters.

I left it to last in the hope that one letter would turn green from my other guesses, but that didn’t happen. Instead, I played the long and arduous game of trying to make up a word and eventually got OCTAL.
