The answers to today's Quordle, game #1042, are…

This was a relatively standard Quordle with no particularly awkward words, but for some reason I struggled to figure it out anyway. I completed it, of course, and I'm missing two guesses. But that had more to do with luck, after my initial words gave me the five letters for one answer and four for the other three.

Despite that, it took me an inordinately long time to figure out what MICRO was, and NAIVE was equally confusing to my tired brain.
