The answers to today’s Quordle, game #1058, are…

I’m used to forgetting the titles of songs, the names of actors (the ones who were in that other thing I watched the other day), and the actual thing I went to the supermarket for, but today I forgot a letter.

The tried and trusted Quordle technique is to get all of the vowels in your first two words. I know this, but somehow today A went, erm AWOL.

Still, I managed to rescue things, despite the sneaky SNAKY and rarely seen letter J popping by for ENJOY.
