Octordle is a very popular Nytimes Wordle -based word game. Octordle differs from Wordle in a few ways, but most notably in the word count when played. With Wordle the player is trying to guess a five letter word but with Octordle the player is guessing eight five letter words at a time. Guessing a five-letter word can be a bit overwhelming for some players, so adding another seven-letter word is less than ideal. Octordle is a game for those who want a challenge. Word-savvy players can really test their skills in this game. This game works just like Wordle. It is played in the browser and keeps the same rules as Wordle. The letters will turn yellow if they are in a word, but in a different position. They turn green if they are in the word and in the correct position. It can be extremely difficult to roll eight different guesses at once and keep track of which letters have been used in a previous guess. A great way to calm things down is to pay attention to the color scheme on the Octordle's keyboard. Each letter is divided into four quadrants, each representing one of the top four puzzles in that day's game.
