Octordle #28 was the set of 8 words for Sunday, November 1, 2026. C (4 boards), L (4 boards), O (4 boards), T (4 boards), A (3 boards) and B (2 boards) appear in more than one answer, so a guess that places them earns colour on several boards at once. No answer repeats a letter. SIXTY carries one of the rare letters J, Q, X or Z. Of five common openers, SLATE leaves the smallest total field here: 422 possible answers across the 8 boards after one guess, against 808 for CRANE. A plain solver that opens with it and then always guesses the likeliest word on the tightest board finishes in 11 guesses (13 allowed).
