The answers to today’s Quordle, game #896, are…

M is not among my three starting words, but it would have been very useful today if it were, because it appears in DATUM, SLUMP, and CHUMP. Fortunately, that didn't matter, because U and P are among the 15 letters I play at the start, and figuring that M would be among them for UMP was enough to get my game going.

KNOLL is the odd card out here; it doesn't have an M, but it does contain a repeated L and a silent K, and it's arguably the most difficult answer in this case. Both the M and K also appear in the daily sequence, so you'll want to play them early on to give yourself the best chance of winning in that variant as well.
