Quordle today (game #881) - the answers

The answers to today's Quordle, game #881, are…

• SPIED

• DIZZY

• ABUSE

• POPPY

There's potential for trouble in today's Quordle. The double-Z in DIZZY might well catch you out, and if it doesn't then you'll need to be careful with the thrice-repeated P in POPPY, and if you avoid that trap then there's the fact that ABUSE only differs from AMUSE by one letter. And if you're anything like me, you will play that incorrect M rather than the correct B, because that's the way luck goes sometimes.
