The answers to today’s Quordle, game #916, are…

This was a pretty easy Quordle for me, despite the presence of a repeated G in GAUGE and repeated E in EASEL. But in truth, I got lucky with start-word strategy, which today gave me all five letters for LATER and four for EASEL and GIRTH. I only had three for GAUGE initially, but by the time I solved it – on the seventh guess – I’d added a green G into the mix, making that another simple one.
