Eight-board word game
Octordle: Solve Eight Words at Once
One five-letter guess goes to all eight boards. Each board scores it independently. Solve all eight hidden words in thirteen shared turns.
Round complete
One guess, eight scorecards
Octordle isn’t just eight Wordles side by side
Every guess you type goes to all eight boards at once, but each board scores it completely on its own. The same five letters can be all green on the left and all gray on the right. The real skill isn’t finding a good word, it’s deciding when to keep gathering shared information and when to commit a guess to one board specifically.
Why thirteen guesses feel tight
The same “+5” pattern, all the way back to Wordle
Wordle gives you six guesses for one answer, six minus one is five. Octordle gives you thirteen guesses for eight answers, thirteen minus eight is also five. That’s not a coincidence limited to the multi-board family, it holds for the original Wordle too.
| Game | Answers | Guesses | Guesses − answers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wordle | 1 | 6 | 5 |
| Octordle | 2 | 7 | 5 |
| Quordle | 4 | 9 | 5 |
| Octordle | 8 | 13 | 5 |
Once one of Octordle’s two answers is locked in, at least one turn ultimately has to submit it, leaving roughly the same planning buffer Wordle has after accounting for its own single answer. See the full ladder up to 64 boards for where this pattern eventually breaks.
Getting better
Three ideas that actually help
Start wide
Your first guesses should reveal high-value letters across all eight boards, not just narrow down one of them.
Track boards independently
Gray on the left board tells you nothing about the right one. Don’t count green tiles, count what’s still uncertain on each board separately.
Switch from information to completion
Once a board is sufficiently narrowed, solve it. Don’t keep gathering broad letters when one answer is already close.

Provenance
Who created Octordle?
Octordle emerged during the 2022 Wordle boom as the eight-board extension of the multi-board family, and the format is now hosted by major dictionary publishers. The version on this page is quordle.uk’s own independent implementation of the eight-board format, with its own daily schedule, kept separate from other versions so we’re not implying it’s the same product or the same daily answers.
Today’s Octordle set of eight is scheduled independently from Quordle’s own daily four words, so playing one game here never spoils the other.

FAQ
Octordle today: the eight boards
Today’s Octordle is a fresh set of eight five-letter words: eight boards, thirteen shared guesses, reset daily. Every guess you type lands on all eight boards at once, so each letter plays out eight different ways. Solve boards in whatever order the clues favor; a solved board freezes and stops consuming your attention.

Octordle: quick answers
What is Octordle?
An eight-board Wordle-style game. You enter one five-letter guess, it’s scored independently against eight hidden words, and you have thirteen shared turns to solve all eight.
How many guesses do you get in Octordle?
Thirteen, shared across all eight boards. Every guess you type applies to both at once.
Does one guess apply to all eight boards?
Yes. The same five letters get scored eight times, once against each hidden word, completely independently.
What happens when I solve one word?
That board freezes and stops receiving new guesses. Your remaining turns go entirely toward the boards still in play.
Are the eight Octordle answers ever the same word?
No, they’re always eight different words.
Can I play Octordle every day?
Yes. Daily mode gives you a new set of eight once a day, scheduled independently from Quordle’s own daily words.
Can I play unlimited Octordle?
Yes. Switch to Unlimited mode for a fresh random set of eight any time, with no effect on your Daily streak.
Is this the official Octordle?
No. The original Octordle was created by Guilherme S. Töws (Zaratustra). This is quordle.uk’s own independent version of the two-board format.
Is Octordle harder than Wordle?
It has more simultaneous information to manage, but “eight times as hard” isn’t really a fixed, measurable thing. The thirteen-guess budget leaves roughly the same planning buffer Wordle has, once you account for having eight answers instead of one.
Ready for the four-board classic?
Quordle is the game that made multi-board famous: four words, nine guesses.
