The answers to today’s Quordle, game #949, are…

Today's Quordle is one of the easier ones I've played recently, but that's largely due to my three starting words, which here gave me the five letters for three of the answers and four for the other. I don't think it was much harder regardless of how you played it, since the words and letters are all common and there's only one repetition, the S in ISSUE.

That said, I did manage to need eight more tries instead of the seven I might have needed to figure it out, by guessing RAISE instead of ARISE. That was a perfectly acceptable mistake (there was no way for me to know which of the two it was), but if I had solved ERUPT first, I wouldn’t have had that problem, as the R would have been confirmed in position #2 in both words. Still, it ultimately didn’t matter.
