While this game may not propel word game enthusiasts into the stratosphere of word game popularity, Octordle, unlike most word games, continues to challenge with its own unique twist of the wordle formula. No exception to the fact that today’s Octordle puzzle (#1052) is exactly that! If you can not find a solution to the eight five-letter words within 13 guesses, don’t panic. We do have hints and answers for you.
What is Octordle?
Octordle is a word game that plays a bit like Wordle. You are good at your job, and instead of solving just one five-letter word, you’re solving eight words with a shared pool of 13 guesses. This color-coded feedback system lets you know the correct letter and which position it is in every word, and it’s your job to strategize and solve them as quickly as possible.
💡 Tips
Use words that can get you closest to most of the alphabet.
Some words may have the same letter more than once, so be aware of this as you continue.
