Why this answer
What the word means, where the trap was, and how the solve unfolds.
Quordle #1705 for Friday, September 25, 2026 is SWEAR, FLOOD, GUPPY, and GROAN in board order: top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right.
SWEAR has no repeated letters and uses A and E. FLOOD is the double-O trap. GUPPY is the double-P fish that looks like GUMMY until the Y lands. GROAN shares the opening G with GUPPY and the OA pair with nothing else on the board.
If you burn guesses on GUMMY or GUPPY’s lookalikes, save a row that tests P and Y together after FLOOD’s O is known.

Solve notes
The opener that would have found it, and what to carry into tomorrow.
How to split the four boards
Open with a word that tests S, R, and the vowels A and E. That usually paints SWEAR and GROAN enough to separate them from the G-pair.
FLOOD announces itself once a second O appears. Leave GUPPY for late: a single G and a late Y with a repeated P is a short list.
