Funny thing is, for me Octordle is easier than Quordle.
See, I start out with the same two words for every puzzle, then I have a couple options I use for a third and fourth word.
When you have eight boards you're working with using keywords, there's a higher likelihood of solving more puzzles more quickly.
This is because the more boards you have, the more those keywords will start to form actual words.
Furthermore, more guesses means it will reveal the correct placement of letters in more boards than just the one that you're currently trying to find the word for.
So in a way, it speeds up the process of solving all the words. You just have got to resist taking the fact that you have more tries in Octordle (13) for granted.
