How Octordle’s daily game works
Octordle applies each five-letter guess to all eight boards at once and gives players 13 guesses in the daily game. On each board, teal marks a letter in the correct position, yellow marks a letter that is in the answer but in a different position, and gray marks a letter absent from that board’s answer. These rules are described on the official Octordle game page.
