Are Quordle and Octordle the same game as Tile Streak's?

The board counts and guess counts follow the same well known pattern, four boards and eight boards, but Tile Streak runs its own daily words on its own site.

Which is harder, four boards or eight?

Eight. The extra guess margin stays at five no matter the size, so eight boards gives you less room per board than four does.

Can I play both in one day?

Yes. Each size has its own daily puzzle, and solving either one counts toward your all-games streak.

Do I need to finish four boards before trying eight?

No, but it helps. Eight boards uses the same plan as four, just with more rows to track at once.

Is there a size bigger than eight?

Yes. Tile Streak also runs ten, twelve, sixteen, thirty two and sixty four boards. The multi-board hub lists every size.

Quordle vs Octordle Style: 4 or 8 Boards

Two sizes, one question

"Quordle" and "Octordle" are two of the best known sizes in this style of game: four boards and eight boards. If you have played either elsewhere and want to know what changes between them, or you are choosing which size to try first, this page lays both out side by side.

Both run on the same idea as every multi-board game here: one hidden five-letter word per board, one shared keyboard, and every guess lands on every board still in play. What changes is only the number of boards and the guesses you get to solve them.

Four boards

Our four-board game lives at /multi/4. You get nine guesses, four for the boards themselves and five to spend on opening guesses and mistakes. It is the size most players try first when a single word stops feeling like enough.

Eight boards

Our eight-board game lives at /multi/8. You get thirteen guesses for eight boards, the same five-guess margin as every other size. Eight boards means more to track at once, but the plan does not change: open wide, then solve.

What actually changes between them

Nothing about the rules. Colors, the shared keyboard, and how a board finishes are identical at four boards and at eight. Only the count of boards, and the guesses you get to clear them, is different.

The margin per board shrinks as boards grow. At four boards you have five spare guesses for four boards, more spare guesses than boards. At eight boards you still have five spare guesses, but now for twice as many boards. That is the real reason eight boards feels harder than four: not a stricter ratio, but less room per board once mistakes happen.

Session length grows. Four boards is a short game once you know the plan. Eight boards runs longer, because there are simply more rows to read after each guess.

Which one to try first

New to multi-board play? Start at four boards. You will learn the core skill of letting one guess work on several boards without a long session.

Already comfortable with four? Move to eight boards. The plan is the same; you just need to hold more of it in view at once.

Want more, or fewer? We run other sizes too: three, six, seven, ten, twelve, sixteen, the extreme thirty two and the largest, sixty four. The multi-board hub lists every size with its guess count.

A plan for either size

Open with words that share no letters. Three or four opening guesses that each test different letters will color most boards before you try to solve anything.

Clear the easy boards first. As soon as a board only fits one or two words, solve it. Fewer boards left means less to track on every later guess.

Let solved words help everywhere else. A guess that solves one board still colors every other board in play, so choose your solving guess with the rest of the boards in mind.

Keep a guess in reserve. The last board or two is usually the one with a double letter or an uncommon word. Try not to arrive there on your last try.

Daily and unlimited

Both the four-board and eight-board games run their own Daily puzzle, the same words for everyone that day, and their own Unlimited mode for practice that never touches your streak. Solving either daily counts toward your all-games streak, the same as any other game on Tile Streak.
