Quordle #28 was the set of 4 words for Friday, October 30, 2026. E (3 boards), O (3 boards) and R (3 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, STARE leaves the smallest total field here: 116 possible answers across the 4 boards after one guess, against 369 for SLATE. A plain solver that opens with it and then always guesses the likeliest word on the tightest board finishes in 11 guesses (9 allowed).
