OctoWord

You are solving eight hidden 5-letter words at the same time, with thirteen guesses total. Each grid is a "board." Type one word, press enter, and that guess is tried on all eight boards at once — each board colors its own tiles: PURPLE for a correct letter in the right spot, AMBER for a letter in that board's word but a different spot, and GRAY for a letter not in it. Each board locks with a checkmark once you solve it, and stops using up your guesses. Clear all eight before you run out.

Since one guess feeds eight boards, your keyboard shows what you have learned for each board separately (each key is split into eight small parts). With only thirteen guesses for eight words, your first few guesses matter a lot — use them to test many common letters before you start locking in answers.

Win base 1,000, 90 points per unused row of your thirteen, up to 72 speed points under the fifteen-minute cap (a tiebreaker — never worth a full row), and 25 points per solved board (8/8 = 200, partial credit on losses). Guess count is measured as total rows used, not per-board — every row you save is worth more than any amount of speed.

Because the time cap is long, OctoWord actually pays deliberation. A patient 9-minute clear outscores a sloppy 6-minute loss with six boards solved by hundreds of points.
