Quordle #31 (November 2, 2026): answers, best opener and a solver line
Loading the word list…
Quordle #31 was the set of 4 words for Monday, November 2, 2026. O (4 boards), N (3 boards), D (2 boards), L (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. DONOR repeats a letter, the kind of word that hides from a one-letter-per-slot habit. Of five common openers, CRANE leaves the smallest total field here: 328 possible answers across the 4 boards after one guess, against 487 for CRATE. A plain solver that opens with it and then always guesses the likeliest word on the tightest board finishes in 6 guesses (9 allowed).
