Here's another example of how my three-start word strategy is paying off. Anyway, it's not that today's Quordle is particularly difficult: just one repeated letter, in FURRY, no unusual letters, no really obscure words. But it still might have gotten me into trouble if it weren't for the fact that my trusty starting trio gave me the five letters for the top two segments, four for the bottom left, and three for the bottom right.

So the top half could be resolved simply by anagram, and neither STOIC nor LURCH tripped me up. The bottom left just needed an F added, to make MEAT, and that F ended up being one of the two missing letters on the bottom right, along with the repeated R.
