How Octordle works
Octordle is a bigger sibling of Wordle: you guess 8 five-letter words simultaneously, each on its own grid, sharing 13 guesses. Every letter lands on all 8 boards at once — green for the right spot, yellow for a right letter in the wrong spot. It runs several modes:
| Mode | What's different |
|---|---|
| Classic | The standard daily game — eight boards, thirteen guesses, feedback after each guess. |
| Chill | A gentler ruleset for a relaxed solve of all eight boards. |
| Extreme | A harder variant for players who want less help. |
| Sequence | Solve the eight words one at a time instead of simultaneously. |
| Rescue | Begin with several computer guesses already placed and finish the boards. |
Mode-by-mode strategy
- With eight boards and only thirteen guesses, your first three words should burn through as much of the alphabet as possible — think SLATE, CRONY, DUMPH-style coverage before you start closing boards.
- Close the board you're most sure of early; every solved word frees mental space and its letters are shared clues for the seven that remain.
- Track which boards a letter is green on — with eight grids it's easy to place a correct letter on the wrong board.
- Leave the hardest one or two boards for last and use elimination: by then you'll know most of the letters that AREN'T in them.
- In Rescue mode, read what the computer's starting guesses already revealed before spending your own — you often begin closer to solved than you think.
