I got it in 3.

I play in hard mode, my starting word is READY.

I like Octordle way better than Wordle.

Twins on raise and pouty!

They're dealing with a relatively small universe of words; I believe from the pool of scrabble-eligible words with some removals for crassness and slim usage. There was also some effort by the original game designer to weed out words that would fall into the trap of puzzle # 1721, i..e, several first box letters could make an eligible word with the remaining boxes being correct.

In hard mode, it happened on 7/31/2025 (https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1285439.page), which was the first time I had seen it fail and why I posted.

I start with ADIEU

I got it in 5 (had the last 4 letters right on 4). Mine says the bot got it in 4.

Maybe that wasn't in hard mode? My game was in hard mode and the bot failed.

There's a hard mode?

I play fast and loose- whatever 5 letter word I heard or read last. And I try to play kind of quickly- not trying to get it in fewer guesses. I have started playing Letterboxed and that’s fun.

I do RAISE and then POUTY if enough vowels didn’t hit. I used to do PIOUS and READY but the S is never the last letter.

Mine are
TASER
CHIMP or BLOND

I also play quordle and Octordle

Mine is ARISE. My second word is MOUNT or MOUND.

Got it in 5

My starting word is STARE. When that has no matches, my next guess is LINGO. Therefore, it was easy for me to get today's word on the 3rd guess.

Got it in six. And got a Sea of Greens badge, FWIW.

The streak continues at 246, almost up to my longest of 251.
