Quordle #27 (October 29, 2026): answers, best opener and a solver line
Loading the word list…
Quordle #27 was the set of 4 words for Thursday, October 29, 2026. O (3 boards), D (2 boards), H (2 boards), I (2 boards), R (2 boards) and T (2 boards) appear in more than one answer, so a guess that places them earns colour on several boards at once. IDIOT repeats 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: 301 possible answers across the 4 boards after one guess, against 615 for CRANE. A plain solver that opens with it and then always guesses the likeliest word on the tightest board finishes in 9 guesses (9 allowed).
