Quordle #22 was the set of 4 words for Saturday, October 24, 2026. N (3 boards), L (2 boards), O (2 boards) and U (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. Of five common openers, CRANE leaves the smallest total field here: 193 possible answers across the 4 boards after one guess, against 470 for STARE. A plain solver that opens with it and then always guesses the likeliest word on the tightest board finishes in 9 guesses (9 allowed).
