Quordle Today (Game #1086) – The Answers
The answers to today’s Quordle, game #1086, are…
Today I was delighted to get ONION from three letters, but my biggest achievement was BELCH, after deducing that the word must end in CH – not that it could have been much else at the time.
It was interesting to learn that as well as meaning “to bring up wind”, Belch is also slang for bad beer – which makes perfect sense in that context.
