Octordle #33 was the set of 8 words for Friday, November 6, 2026. E (4 boards), I (4 boards), K (4 boards), R (4 boards), C (3 boards) and N (3 boards) appear in more than one answer, so a guess that places them earns colour on several boards at once. CHEEK, NINNY and AWARD repeat a letter, the kind of word that hides from a one-letter-per-slot habit. Of five common openers, CRANE leaves the smallest total field here: 279 possible answers across the 8 boards after one guess, against 1094 for SLATE. A plain solver that opens with it and then always guesses the likeliest word on the tightest board finishes in 11 guesses (13 allowed).
