Octordle #35 was the set of 8 words for Sunday, November 8, 2026. E (5 boards), T (4 boards), A (3 boards), L (3 boards), R (3 boards) and Y (3 boards) appear in more than one answer, so a guess that places them earns colour on several boards at once. RARER, COMIC, BELLY, REVEL and PATTY repeat a letter, the kind of word that hides from a one-letter-per-slot habit. Of five common openers, CRATE leaves the smallest total field here: 426 possible answers across the 8 boards after one guess, against 782 for CRANE. A plain solver that opens with it and then always guesses the likeliest word on the tightest board finishes in 13 guesses (13 allowed).
