Bored of Wordle, Dordle and Quordle? Play 8 games in Octordle

As I continuee to delight in the crazy conspiracy theories

Surroundings World, the following its purchase by the New York TimesI’m also excited to discover those who are making progressively more difficult versions of the game. Quordlesa version where you solve four wordless at once has become quite popular, in the wake of dodle

that offered only two. But throw that aside because the real Players simultaneously solve eight puzzles, in octordel.

It sounds impossible, and I think by Einstein’s law it should be impossible, but somehow it works. With 13 guesses, you play across eight different ones at the same time Wordl Grid and try to identify all eight words at once.

As you can imagine, this leads to a world of new tactics Wordl. If you previously thought your start word was important, don’t think about it trying to cover eight different starts at once. And then what about Go #2? Are you someone who inserts a completely different set of five letters (and thus reveals that you do not play Wordl on his rather hidden “Hard Mode”), or someone who immediately starts looking for solutions? Is it time to add a third seed word to get as much of the alphabet as possible? (whisper: what about four?)

how Quordles, where you solve four puzzles at once (eight guesses in this case), once you get the word of a puzzle right, the grid locks and you can limit your concentration. Of course, with eight times as many solutions to find, that increases your chance of also getting an awkward word in the mix, meaning you should adjust your tactics to account for that as well. Could it be an idea to use some more obscure letters early on to catch them as soon as possible? (Not acc to these statistics.)

I feel like I’m pretty bad at it. Fixated on solving one of the grids to the detriment of the other seven, I abandon all notion of tactics to pursue a mad quest for a stinky answer. And yet I successfully completed the game. Which surprises me more than anyone else. (Not today though. Two whole words are missing.)

Luckily, as with Quordles, besides the daily game, which is the same for everyone, there are also “practice games” where you can play as much as you like with randomly selected groups of words. (I just did one of these to make me feel better.)

Now I’m just waiting sex cord. (And Untrigintordle.)
