Wordle - Quordle Thread

Well I have just tackled them before bed and knocked up a whopper of a score!

Wordle for 5
Quordle 6 4 5 8 = 23
Octordle for 74 after the 4th word cost me 3 lives but at least I scraped home.

Gives me a total of 102
 
Modest enough score here. Almost came a cropper in Quordle - too many options for the last word. Just fortunate that I picked the right one before running out of chances.

Result: 3+20+59=82

I decided to throw caution to the winds today and try a different technique, I usually start Quordle and Octordle with the same starter and elimination words, which is a slow and steady route, but a different approach and starter from how I tackle Wordle. So I started with my Wordle starter, and built up from there according to what I'd got. Result? My scores were very much the same as a very mediocre day under the old system, and took a lot longer.
Wordle in 3
Quordle in 4,3,9,7 = 23
Octordle in 66
Total 92
 
Disaster for me on Quordle and the really annoying thing is that the actual answer for word 3 was my first choice but I talked myself out of it and it was too late to do an elimination word.

Wordle in 4 ..... I could have got it in 3 but again I talked myself out of trying the correct word first.
Quordle 4 8 X 3 = DNF
Octordle for 60
 
And for those of you keen the start the Weekly Challenge straight after qualifying I have chosen CYTON as the starter word ,It is allowed and contains a vowel and four useful consonants!
 
It's years since I came across it. It is the nucleus of a plant cell (not animal). I occasionally read texts on mathematics and the sciences.

Early start for me and I made it through them all but not overly impressed with CYTON as a starting word for the Weekly Challenge Mikey! It certainly didn't give us much to go on!

Wordle in 3
Quordle 8 6 5 7 = 26
Octordle for 58

Gives me 87

Weekly Challenge 8 6 7 4 = 25
 
Sneaking in 1 point ahead of @rebrascora in total for usual three puzzles. Almost came a cropper in Quordle - quite a few options for the last word so lucky to not run out of guesses.

Result: 2+21+63=86
Weekly challenge: 20
