The answers to today's Quordle, game #862, are…

I almost ruined today's Quordle. It's not very difficult, and my three fixed starting words of STARE, DOILY, and PUNCH gave me a great opening for the game, with all the letters I needed for SCORN, four of them for REIGN and all five for EPOCH.

Unfortunately, the ending was a little more complicated. I could see that -IGHT was a likely format, but I inexplicably played WIGHT instead of trying to narrow down the options. I realized my mistake right away, but I could see that MIGHT, FIGHT, and BIGHT were still options, so I had to play FAMED to eliminate two answers and keep my streak alive.
