Tomorrow is another day.😑
Needed (or felt that way at least) another eliminator at turn 4 then made a mistake near the end with motor, but would have made a mistake anyway one way or another as I had murky slated for #8 so motor saved me from that.
But really, could they have mad more double letter words if they tried?
Oh dear… But the mo___ trap was one that I only just avoided; it was completely logical, so that’s an honourable wound.
I think you could possibly have had your #2 after solving your #7. That would have given you #1, and then given you a good chance at #3. But that’s how it goes… Solving Octordle smoothly is always going to rely on the starter and eliminator, and a good starter may sometimes bomb.

Got off to a good start, wasn't much else #5 could be, but that was about as far as I could get for certain without using an eliminator, or so i felt.
Then some mistakes.
Gammy and bevel. On reflection, I should have known gamma was more likely but just didn't think of it till after trying gammy.
Revel was an honourable enough mistake as it could have been repel/revel or rebel.

I didn't feel very inspired after my first turn.
Even by turn 3, I took a guess but honestly, how often can squab come out, I thought it was time for them to ring the changes.
I was nearly going to try grout for #6, just lucky I solved #7 first.
puffy was an eliminator as I wanted to test P/F. Plus other letters but couldn't think of a word with them all.
I was surprised to get P in first spot for #3 as I had had that word tentatively down as copse.
All in all, several words ended up being nothing like what I had thought they may be after my first turn or two.

The poor score is because on turn 3, I used another eliminator because there was no answer I could see that was a fairly clear cut certainty.
Crump really helped, I'd been sort of leaning towards crust for #8, or maybe trust, but crump cleared the way.
I fell on the last word and used alloy instead of allow.
