There are some clues to help you figure it out if everything is too complicated.

The answers to today's Quordle, game #837, are…

What are the factors that make Quordle more difficult? The repeating letters would be one and there are two E's in ENSUE. There are also rare letters, and there is a Q in QUASH. And to add a third to the mix, how about words with too many similarly spelled alternatives? There aren't really any of those here, but PERKY might as well have been JERKY, so that's half a tick in that column.

In short, this Quordle puzzle was potentially complicated. Fortunately, my initial three words triumphed (mostly), giving me the green -UA-H which led directly to QUASH, and the P at the beginning of PERKY to make it simpler. ENSUE was more difficult; I played UNSEE first. But I survived with one remaining guess, so I'll settle for that.
