Octordle #24 was the set of 8 words for Wednesday, October 28, 2026. A (5 boards), E (3 boards), I (3 boards), N (3 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. LOWLY, MASSE, CANON and NINTH repeat a letter, the kind of word that hides from a one-letter-per-slot habit. EQUIP carries one of the rare letters J, Q, X or Z. Of five common openers, CRATE leaves the smallest total field here: 554 possible answers across the 8 boards after one guess, against 622 for TRACE. A plain solver that opens with it and then always guesses the likeliest word on the tightest board finishes in 11 guesses (13 allowed).
