The answers to today’s Quordle, game #972, are…

It’s been a while since we’ve had an uncommon letter in Quordle—you’d have to go back to SEIZE on September 10. And like that game, it was a Z that showed up today to complicate things. I needed all nine guesses to complete today’s puzzle, partly because that letter tripped me up on ZESTY, but it wasn’t the only word I had trouble with. DRAWN also gave me trouble (and W is another fairly uncommon letter), and this wasn’t a game I was comfortable with.
