How To Play Octordle?

Unlike Wordle, where you just have to solve for one word, Octordle makes things much difficult by making you solve eight separate five-letter word puzzles within 13 guesses. Each guess also applies to other words, and the game gives hints on whether the answer is right or wrong. These hints include:

• 🟩 Green: Word is correct and placed in the right place.
• 🟧 Orange: Word is correct but placed in the wrong grid position.
• ⬜ Gray: Word is neither correct nor in the right position.

There are also some basic rules to follow when solving Octordle. First up, think of words with several vowels that are basic. Start with broader guesses and narrow them down with the colored hints.
