Octordle #10 was the set of 8 words for Wednesday, October 14, 2026. E (5 boards), B (4 boards), O (4 boards), S (4 boards), T (3 boards) and H (2 boards) appear in more than one answer, so a guess that places them earns colour on several boards at once. BROOD, BOOZE and TASTE repeat a letter, the kind of word that hides from a one-letter-per-slot habit. BOOZE carries one of the rare letters J, Q, X or Z. Of five common openers, STARE leaves the smallest total field here: 567 possible answers across the 8 boards after one guess, against 849 for CRANE. A plain solver that opens with it and then always guesses the likeliest word on the tightest board finishes in 10 guesses (13 allowed).
