The answers to today’s Quordle, game #1083, are…

Being UK-based was a help and a hindrance today. A help because ASCOT is a well known English racecourse and a type of tie traditionally worn by a dapper Englishman attempting to straddle the perpetually tricky smart/casual dress code. Cary Grant remains the prime model for such a style.

Living in London was also a hindrance, as FIBER is spelt fibre in the UK and it’s tricky to think otherwise (unless you play a lot of US puzzle games, which rewires your thinking somewhat). Either way, I was happy to check out after eight turns guessing four very tricky words.
