The answers to today's Quordle, game #1707, are…

  • VALET
  • CHEST
  • VIGIL
  • PUREE

I took this game very slowly and it paid off. I was particularly pleased about getting VALET, as the letter V is one I’ve suffered a strange blindness to in the past.

My only risk was guessing PUREE instead of “purge”, a good one as it turned out.

The answers to today's Strands, game #938, are…

  • SUNSCREEN
  • MOISTURIZER
  • CLEANSER
  • SERUM
  • TONER
  • SPANGRAM: BEAUTYCARE
  • My rating: Easy
  • My score: Perfect

I would normally begin by finding words connected to any rare letters or double-letter combinations, but in today’s game it was impossible to ignore SUNSCREEN in the top left-hand corner.

From here I moved on to MOISTURIZER and then realised with these two finds I had exhausted my knowledge of skincare products.

Fortunately, these two spots opened up the spangram and CLEANSER. I did get the final two words without a hint, but even though they were both just five letters long it took me a stupidly long time to uncover SERUM and TONER.

  • BREEZE
  • ZEPHYR
  • GUST
  • WHIFF
  • PUFF
  • FLURRY
  • CURRENT
  • SPANGRAM: GENTLEWIND
  • My rating: Easy
  • My score: Perfect

I began, as I’m sure most players did, by finding the words linked to the two letter Zs.

However, while BREEZE was a breeze, ZEPHYR was not something I would have got without the fact that its letters connected straight down.

ZEPHYR is, like all of today’s game words, a way of describing a GENTLEWIND — but prior to today its only appearance in my life was in The Zephyr Song by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, which seemed to imply it was some kind of magical vehicle we could fly away on.
