Quordle #30 was the set of 4 words for Sunday, November 1, 2026. A (2 boards), N (2 boards), O (2 boards), R (2 boards) and S (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: 184 possible answers across the 4 boards after one guess, against 276 for SLATE. A plain solver that opens with it and then always guesses the likeliest word on the tightest board finishes in 10 guesses (9 allowed).
