The answers to today's Quordle, game #1240, are…

  • LEAPT
  • PRISM
  • ADMIN
  • WHINE

Life ADMIN is something that becomes increasingly time consuming as you get older.

When you’re a kid, no admin is required at all, then when you get a job or go to college the admin starts increasing until you reach a point where you have to take time off to deal with all the admin.

However, if you are a super organised person and you do your admin meticulously as you go along, rather than putting it off or forgetting about it, then you don’t have to take days off just to deal with all your admin. Or if you’re really rich you can get someone else to do your admin and you can go back to being a kid.

Anyway, I digress, WHINE aside this felt quite an easy Quordle, with just 15 unique letters. Right now for some admin…
