Quordle #29 was the set of 4 words for Saturday, October 31, 2026. C (3 boards), A (2 boards), H (2 boards), I (2 boards), O (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. No answer repeats a letter. JOINT carries one of the rare letters J, Q, X or Z. Of five common openers, CRATE leaves the smallest total field here: 137 possible answers across the 4 boards after one guess, against 368 for STARE. A plain solver that opens with it and then always guesses the likeliest word on the tightest board finishes in 6 guesses (9 allowed).
