Yesterday's Octordle hints
Climb the ladder from the gentlest nudge to the strongest clue. No peeking at the next clue until you've given the current one a real try.
First lettersGentle nudge
The eight boards open with T, S, A, E, M, A, B, B, in that order.
Repeats and endingsWarming up
Three of the eight words repeat a letter within themselves, and none of the eight ends in E.
Overlap lettersAlmost there
The letter A appears on five boards, and O, N and T each appear on four, so words rich in A and O pay you back almost everywhere.
Toughest boardStrongest hint
The board hiding an uncommon science word is the trickiest of the eight, so save one spare guess for the final push.

How hard is yesterday's Octordle?
Difficulty: Medium
Open with two starters that cover ten fresh letters, then let the shared guesses work across all eight boards. The letter A lands on five boards and O, N and T on four each, so guesses built around A and O feed you information almost everywhere at once. Three boards repeat a letter within themselves, so greens lock their slots at once on the other five, and save one guess for the science board, because that is where streaks usually end.

What is Octordle?
Octordle was created by Kenneth Crawford and launched in late January 2022, right in the middle of the Wordle craze. It takes the same guessing formula and stretches it across eight boards at once, with 13 shared guesses to solve them all.
The game also offers Free mode for unlimited practice puzzles, Sequence mode where you solve one board at a time, and Rescue mode that starts you off with some words already guessed. It is free to play in the browser, and its daily puzzle gives everyone the same eight words each day.
How do you play Octordle?
- You get 13 guesses to solve eight five-letter words at the same time. Type any valid five-letter word and submit it.
- Your guess lands on every unsolved board at once. Each board colors its letters green, yellow, or gray based on its own hidden word.
- Green means the letter is correct and in the right spot. Yellow means the letter is in the word but somewhere else. Gray means it is not in that board's word.
- Use what you learn to narrow each board separately. A letter can be green on one board and gray on another, so track every board on its own.
- Solve all eight words before your 13 guesses run out. Boards you have solved lock in and stop taking up attention.
What are the best Octordle strategies?
- Burn two starters, not one. With eight boards and 13 guesses, you can afford two opening words that cover ten unique letters. Spread them across the most common consonants and vowels.
- Triage the boards. After your openers, glance across all eight and pick the board with the most confirmed letters to attack first. Quick wins shrink the problem.
- Play the overlap letters early. The letter A appears on five boards and O, N and T on four each, so guesses built around A and O give you information almost everywhere at once.
- Watch for the repeated letters. Three boards hide a doubled letter today. Do not rule out a repeat just because the letter already went green once.
- Save a spare guess for the stubborn boards. The board hiding an uncommon science word tends to fall last. Keep at least one guess in reserve for it.

Frequently asked questions
How many guesses do you get in Octordle?
You get 13 guesses in the daily game, and every guess applies to all eight boards at once. That sounds generous until you realize you are chasing eight words at the same time. Budget your guesses: two openers, a few for triage, and at least one spare for the toughest board.
Who created Octordle?
Octordle was created by Kenneth Crawford and launched in January 2022 during the Wordle boom. He expanded on the same color-feedback formula but multiplied the challenge across eight simultaneous boards. The game quickly found its own audience among players who found a single Wordle too easy.
How is Octordle different from Quordle?
Quordle gives you nine guesses for four boards. Octordle doubles both sides of the equation: 13 guesses for eight boards. The extra guesses help, but the mental load is much heavier. You are tracking twice as many words, so triage and letter overlap matter far more in Octordle.
What modes can you play in Octordle?
Besides the daily puzzle, Octordle offers Free mode with unlimited random puzzles, Sequence mode where you solve the eight words one board at a time, and Rescue mode that pre-guesses some words for you. The daily mode gives every player the same eight words, which is the one most people talk about.
What happens if you run out of guesses in Octordle?
If your 13 guesses run out with boards unsolved, the game reveals the words you missed. It stings, but it is also the fastest way to learn. Check which boards beat you, note the tricky words, and come back tomorrow with a better plan for your openers.
What are good starting words for Octordle?
Pick two openers that together cover ten unique letters, heavy on vowels and common consonants. Words like SLATE and CHIRP, or ADIEU and SPORT, give you broad coverage. Today, leaning on A and N pays off because those letters appear across the most boards.
Can you play past Octordle puzzles?
The daily puzzle is one per day, but Free mode lets you play unlimited random puzzles whenever you want. Sequence and Rescue modes add variety too. If you missed a day, fan sites keep archives of past answers so you can still see what the words were.
