Why this answer
What the word means, where the trap was, and how the solve unfolds.
Quordle #1704 for Thursday, September 24, 2026 was TOPIC, METRO, SCALP, and FREED in board order: top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right.
TOPIC and METRO share a lot of common consonants and can blur together after a vowel-heavy opener. SCALP is the one with no repeated letters and a harsh C-P ending. FREED is the double-E verb.
If METRO was green early, do not spend a row forcing METAL. The leftover board is SCALP and FREED, not another city word.
