The rules
Eight boards, eight different hidden words.
Each guess is played on all eight boards simultaneously.
You get thirteen guesses in total for all eight words.
Colour feedback works exactly as in Wordle.
Variant modes change the rules — Rescue ends on a single wrong guess.
What works
The natural end point of the Wordle-multiples idea
Thirteen guesses for eight words forces genuine opening strategy
Several modes, so it does not become one puzzle a day
Free, no account needed
What doesn’t
Eight grids is a lot of screen, and worse on a phone
Long enough that it becomes a task rather than a break
Mechanically identical to Wordle — more of the same, not different
Late guesses are often bookkeeping rather than deduction

Questions about Octordle
How many guesses do you get in Octordle?
Thirteen, shared across all eight boards — not thirteen per word.
Is Octordle harder than Quordle?
Yes. Twice the words with only four more guesses, so early guesses have to gather information across eight boards rather than chase any single answer.
What is Octordle Rescue mode?
A harsher variant where a single guess that fails to solve a board can end the run, turning it from a game of information-gathering into one of precision.
Meldle is a different daily puzzle — four words sharing one missing pair of letters. Try today’s → It’s free, needs no account, and here is what it does badly.
