[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey there OP!!!  I really like Octordle a lot!  I think it is my favorite and the one I've played the most.  Every day I play (behold my patheticness!):  Wordle, Taylordle, Quordle, Heardle, and finally Octordle.  I have played hundreds of games of Octordle (not just the daily one, but the other available ones) and I know I'm bragging a little but I've only lost a few times.  The best I have ever done in Octordle is solve everything in 7 tries, but I only did that well once because one of the 8 words was one of my starter words!  Usually my best in Octordle is an 8.  Octordle doesn't seem to keep your stats like the others do, though; bummer.

Here are some weird 5 letter words!  Idyll, macaw, droit (wtf? that was in quordle), krill, rebus, axial, offal, inbox, emcee, aphid, fjord. [/quote]

Thanks, PP!

But, wait….other Octordles?? We need LINKS! 🥳🥳🥳

Also, you’re better than I am. I have lost a lot. I usually get my first word within 4 tries, and I often fall into the trap of wasting tries on words that have multiple options (i.e., flows, glows, slows, blows, etc.)

Okay, two corrections.  I don't get Octordle in 7 tries!  ha ha.  I meant best I have ever done is TEN tries, but that's because one of my 3 starter words hit.  But usually I do 11.

Secondly, I don't mean there are other Octordles, just that you can play more than the daily game if, after you finish the daily game, you hit "back" in the upper left and then "free Octordle" under daily Octordle.  I'm sure you knew this but explaining just in case.  There were days early on when I was playing like 20 games a day, it was insanity.

My "strategy" is to use the same 3 words every time, words that use as many of the consonants that pair up together as possible, plus all the vowels.  (My starter words are TALES, ROUND, and CHIMP.)  Then I check which words I'm closest to getting and guess those, leaving the hardest for last, because as you use letters in getting the easier ones you will find out info on letter positioning and letter use that will make the hardest ones easier.

But I don't play Wordle on hard mode.  I can't stand it when you know what 4 letters in a word are and cycle through til you hit the right one, so I do easy mode and kill a word using as many of the possible options I can fit just to make sure I don't lose.

In short, WHATEVER MAKES YOU HAPPY is the way to go in my book.  Happy octordling!  :)[/quote]
