The answers to today's Quordle, game #856, are…

Another relatively simple Quordle today, although two of the answers contain a repeated letter. I was lucky with the way the letters fell after my initial three words; on the top left I had yellow C, R and U, and I decided to add M and B to make CRUMB. Not only was it correct, but it also gave me a green C and M for COMMA at the bottom right, which otherwise might have been quite a bit more difficult. Also, it turned the M in MACRO yellow in the top right, which helped me mark that one too. The WHEEL, at the bottom left, took a bit of thinking, but I finally saw it and solved the Quordle with two guesses left.
