The answers to today's Quordle, game #840, are…

I would consider this a moderately difficult Quordle, due to the repeated S in CRASS and the Z in PRIZE, and I only solved it with one guess left.

PRIZE was the one that made me stumble; when I arrived, the answer could only have been that or PRIME, but I chose the latter first since M is a more common letter in general. In terms of probability, there's no reason why that would have really made a difference, but I have to have some way of deciding in these scenarios, and the common letter is usually the one I choose.

Anyway, I marked everyone else without needing to think too much, since my opening words gave me a lot of lovely greens, so my streak was never really in danger.
