I only just completed Qourdle today, after making two rookie errors.
I failed to check before typing out “glade” and ignored that the letter D had already been ruled out for this word. And then I gambled on a double letter with “greet”. Still, both mistakes led me to the correct answers, so I’m not too disappointed in myself.
