Guides and strategy for solving sixteen Wordle boards at once. Every number in these articles comes from the same word lists the game uses, so the tips match the puzzles you actually play.
The best starting words for Sedecordle
The best single starting word for Sedecordle is AROSE: played against every possible answer, it lights up 1.75 green or yellow tiles on an average board. The strongest opening plan, though, is a set of four words such as AROSE, UNLIT, DUCHY, GIMPY, which together cover 17 different letters before you aim at a single board.
Sedecordle strategy: how to solve all 16 boards in 21 guesses
To solve Sedecordle reliably, split your 21 guesses into three phases: about four guesses to collect letters on every board, about twelve to solve the boards that are already clear, and the last few for the hard boards, which by then have clues from every earlier row. Never spend a guess on a 50/50 board while another board has only one possible word.
Sedecordle vs Octordle, Quordle and Wordle: what's the difference?
Sedecordle is Wordle played on sixteen boards at once with 21 guesses. Quordle uses four boards and 9 guesses, Octordle eight boards and 13 guesses, and plain Wordle one board and 6 guesses. They all follow the same coloring rules; what changes is how many words you chase with each guess, and how little room there is for a wasted row.
Sedec-order and Savior: a guide to Sedecordle's two extra modes
Sedec-order and Savior are two daily variations of Sedecordle. In Sedec-order the sixteen boards open one at a time, in order, and you get 23 guesses instead of 21. In Savior four guesses are already played on every board when you start, so you begin with clues but only 17 guesses of your own. Each mode has its own daily puzzle and its own statistics.
Playing Sedecordle in 15 languages
Sedecordle Wordle can be played in 15 languages, and each one is a separate game: its own answer list, its own dictionary of accepted guesses, its own keyboard and its own daily puzzle. Accents that people rarely type are folded into the plain letter, while letters that count as separate letters of the alphabet, such as Spanish Ñ, German Ä or Polish Ł, get their own keys.
