Quordle answers for game 1002 on a yellow background

The answers to today's Quordle, game #1002, are…

ADORE
SMITH
AFOOT
LUCID

This was another relatively easy Quordle, with a repeated O in AFOOT but not much more to complicate matters. My trio of start words again came up trumps, there were no major decisions to make between two similarly spelled words and the whole thing only took me about two minutes. If only they were all so simple, eh?

As if to counteract the simplicity of the main Quordle, the Daily Sequence was a fair bit harder today, serving up LLAMA and its two repeated letters, COCOA and its two repeated letters, TITAN and its one repeated letter and the far-from-obvious RAMEN. Quordle giveth and it taketh away.
