What is the Octordle Daily Sequence game?

  1. How.com.vn English: The Daily Sequence...
    The Daily Sequence Octordle has you solve 8 Wordle puzzles one at a time. The standard Octordle has you guess eight 5-letter words in 13 tries and you’re able to solve them in any order. The Daily Sequence Octordle, on the other hand, only allows you to guess 1 word at a time. Once you solve the first 5-letter word, then the clues from previous guesses are revealed for the next word you have to solve. If you’re able to guess all 8 words in 15 tries, then you succeed![1]
    • The Daily Sequence updates every day with a new puzzle, and the words are different from the standard daily Octordle.

  1. How.com.vn English: Step 1 Enter a 5-letter word for your first guess.
    Just like when you play Wordle, start by typing in any 5-letter word into the first row of empty boxes. Your guess will go into the top line of all 8 sections of the Octordle puzzle even though you’re only solving for the first word. Once you’ve decided on a word, tap "Enter" to submit it to the puzzle.[2]
    • Try to use a unique word where each letter is different so you can quickly rule out possibilities. Words like HOUSE, ROAST, or MULCH are great starting words because they have a variety of common letters.
  2. How.com.vn English: Step 2 Check the color of each letter to see if you guessed any correctly.
    After you hit "Enter," the background colors of the letters will change depending on if they’re part of the word and in the right position.[3]
    • Green tiles mean the letter is correct and in the right position for the current word.
    • Yellow tiles mean the letter is in the current word, but it is not in the correct position.
    • Gray tiles mean the letter is not in the current word.
    • The letters of the on-screen keyboard will also change colors so you can easily track which ones you already used in your guesses.
  3. How.com.vn English: Step 3 Continue guessing words until the first word’s letters are all green.
    As you use the information from your previous attempt to rule out letters, type in a different 5-letter word to make your next guess. Keep making guesses for the first word until all the tiles turn green, which means you’ve solved it correctly. When you figure the word out, the “1” above the on-screen keyboard will turn green and have a checkmark to show that you solved it.[4]
    • Try to use no more than 8 attempts to solve the first word, or else you won’t have enough guesses to solve the rest.
  4. How.com.vn English: Step 4 Check the letter colors from previous guesses for the next word.
    You immediately start on the next word in the Daily Sequence after solving the first one. Even though you weren’t able to see what letters were in the word while you were working on the last one, the backgrounds will now change colors to give you clues on what letters are included in the current word.[5]
  5. How.com.vn English: Step 5 Work through the remaining words one at a time until you solve all 8.
    As you keep solving individual words, the next one in the sequence will unlock and reveal hints about the letters. Continue using the information from your previous guesses to deduce the next word and move through the puzzle. If you’re able to solve the 8th word before using all 15 attempts, then you’ve successfully solved the Daily Sequence Octordle![6]
    • Take a moment to think through each guess so you don’t accidentally rush and repeat letters you've already used.

Tricks for Solving the Daily Sequence

Download Article
  1. How.com.vn English: Step 1 Use words with different letters for your first 2–3 guesses.
    Try to pick a starting word that has 5 different letters so you don’t repeat any in your guess. Even if your first guess reveals green or yellow tiles for the current word, guess 1 or 2 more words with letters different from the first. While you can’t see the clues for future words until you reach them in the sequence, guessing a variety of letters early helps rule out a lot of possibilities.[7]
    • Your first 3 guesses could be words like ROAST, FIEND, and MULCH so you can rule out 15 common letters from the alphabet right away.
  2. How.com.vn English: Step 2 Expand your vocabulary to learn more 5-letter words.
    If you’re getting stuck on words that are obscure or that you don’t know, work on learning new words. Read a new book, play word games like crosswords, or use a word-of-the-day calendar. That way, you’ll be able to recognize words in a Daily Sequence Octordle puzzle you may not have known before.[8]
    • Try solving the Quordle daily, where you only have to guess 4 words, to get more practice and expose yourself to new words.
  3. How.com.vn English: Step 3 Use a word...
    Use a word finder site if you’re stumped. If you’re really struggling to figure out what words fit with the clues you’re given, type in the letters you know into a word finder made for Wordle-type games. Specify any letters that you know are in the correct position, which ones are incorrect, and which ones aren’t included in the word. The site will give you a list of potential answers for the word so you can solve it and keep your streak.[9]
  4. How.com.vn English: Step 4 Play practice sequence...
    Play practice sequence puzzles to improve your guessing skills. While there’s only one new Daily Sequence Octordle every day, there are multiple training and archived puzzles to do in the meantime to practice. When you’re doing practice puzzles, try out new words and solving strategies to see what works for you. Keep practicing between daily puzzles so you’re prepared to solve the next one.
