Hey word puzzle fans! Ready to tackle today’s Octordle challenge? If you’re stuck on September 1st’s puzzle or just want to check your answers, you’ve come to the right place. Let me walk you through today’s solutions and share some handy tips to help you become an Octordle master.
What’s Octordle All About?
For those new to the game, Octordle is like Wordle’s bigger, more challenging cousin. Instead of guessing just one five-letter word, you’re trying to solve eight different words at the same time! You get 13 guesses to figure out all eight words, which sounds like a lot but trust me, it goes by quickly when you’re juggling multiple puzzles.
You can play the official game at octordle.org, and it’s completely free. The game resets every day at midnight, giving you fresh puzzles to solve.

Drumroll please… here are today’s complete solutions:
- MODAL
- ERASE
- OVERT
- QUOTH
- SLING
- SMELL
- QUILL
- HUNKY
Hints and Strategy Tips
Before diving into the answers, let me share some helpful hints that could’ve guided you to these solutions:
For MODAL: Think about something related to methods or ways of doing things. This word often appears in grammar and music contexts.
For ERASE: A common action you do with mistakes – whether on paper or a whiteboard.
For OVERT: The opposite of hidden or secretive. Something done openly and obviously.
For QUOTH: This one’s tricky! It’s an old-fashioned way of saying “said,” most famous from Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven.”
For SLING: Think about carrying something over your shoulder, or what David used against Goliath.
For SMELL: One of your five senses – and something that can be pleasant or not so much!
For QUILL: What writers used before pens were invented. Think feathers and ink.
For HUNKY: Describes someone who’s attractive and well-built. Often paired with “dory” meaning everything’s fine.
Smart Playing Strategies
Here’s how I approach Octordle puzzles, and these tips might help you too:
Start with vowel-heavy words. I usually begin with words like ADIEU or AUDIO to knock out multiple vowels across all eight grids at once.
Look for common letter patterns. Once you spot a few letters, think about common endings like -ING, -ER, or -ED.
Use the color coding wisely. Green letters are in the right spot, yellow letters are in the word but wrong position, and gray letters aren’t in that word at all.
Don’t panic about the timer. Take your time to think through each guess strategically rather than rushing.
Focus on the easier words first. If you can solve a few grids quickly, you’ll have more guesses left for the trickier ones.
Why These Words Matter
Today’s puzzle had a nice mix of difficulty levels. Words like ERASE and SMELL are pretty straightforward – they use common letters and familiar concepts. But QUOTH definitely threw some players for a loop since it’s not exactly everyday vocabulary.
MODAL might’ve stumped some folks too, especially if you’re not familiar with its technical uses in music or grammar. It’s one of those words that sounds fancier than it actually is.

Final Thoughts
How did you do with today’s puzzle? QUOTH probably gave most people trouble – I know it had me scratching my head for a minute! The mix of common words like SMELL and ERASE with the more unusual QUOTH and MODAL made for a well-balanced challenge.
Remember, there’s no shame in looking up answers if you’re completely stuck. Sometimes seeing the solution helps you recognize patterns for future puzzles. The goal is to have fun and maybe learn a new word or two along the way.
