Quordle today (game #850) – the answers
The answers to today’s Quordle, game #850, are…
- MOLDY
- REBEL
- SPORT
- MECCA
There are a couple of potentially difficult words to solve here, but overall it’s not too bad. MECCA contains a repeated C, which isn’t a common occurrence at all, plus people may think it’s a proper noun and therefore wouldn’t be included. It is a proper noun of course, but it’s a standard noun and therefore justified here. REBEL was the one I struggled with; the repeated E don’t help, but it was the fact that the answer could easily have been REVEL that tripped me up.
