Good luck. I solved it the first time I tried. And then I flailed the next few times. I’m swearing off it.Originally posted by SteelBlue View Post
Wow Octordle is real. I got it in 13 today"...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

I think the best strategy is to make sure that in your first three guesses you use 15 unique letters. It would be super-ideal to come up with 4 words that use 20 unique letters but I haven't sat down and figure out a good starting combo of 4 words yet.Originally posted by Northwestcoug View Post

I played it a few times yesterday. I found that using IRATE and SCOLD are a good start. If I can solve any of the puzzles at that point I will, and see how it goes. Or I might use JUMPY or JUNKY, depending on the various puzzle options. I think I won every puzzle I tried after that. I did win in 10 once.Originally posted by BigFatMeanie View Post

I found octordle a few weeks ago. It fits nicely with my ADHD. I used an online tool to come up with three good starting words. Ive only lost a couple times out of like 15 or 20 so far.Originally posted by BigFatMeanie View Post

Super embarrassed about par today:
Spoiler for Shame:CRIED
CLOUT
at this point I’m feeling pretty good. But as I’m trying to figure out that fifth letter I’m going through all the available letters pronouncing ‘clot’ with a long ‘o’. I’m sure I included ‘cloth’ but just mispronouncing it. It didn’t register. So then I reason that maybe when NYT bought Wordle they relaxed the plural word ending with ‘s’ rule. So then I guessed
CLOTS
and then when I was pronouncing ‘clot’ right I went through the remaining letters again.
CLOTH

Those are good. The bare minimum number of guesses is 8. If one doesn't get lucky on their starting 3 guesses, that makes a minimum of 11 total. A win in 13 turns is good and a win under 13 is pretty great. I won in 12 today so I consider that a birdie.Originally posted by jay santos View Post

Just solved octordle in 11 guesses. Three to flush things out, and then eight hits in a row.
