Happy enough with this.
Had a stab at #5 on turn 3. It turned out to be wrong, but it was a reasonable enough try at the time and did help towards a couple of other words.
#1 had me tossed for a few minutes till I remembered-Oh, American spelling.

I started with CATER, and then played FOUND. 3L really couldn’t be anything but what it was. Top right (1R) was then either the material that stinks of urine in the rain, or a noble ride.
2R… well, it had either 1 vowel or that vowel repeated. That limited what consonants could be used. I had at it, and solved it.
2L must have its vowel in 3rd position, and that meant that an (x) must follow the first letter (where (x) is a particular consonant to which I’m referring discreetly). That meant that the 4th letter was a different (x). Voilà.
I turned my attention to top left; yes, US spelling! The word could only be (xxxxx).
Bottom right - 4L - and although I had only 1 yellow and 1 green, with the letters remaining I was reasonably sure about the solution.
In turn, that gave me the final letter of 3R, which meant I had the whole word.
I was now down to 4L (bottom left). It was obvious that there were two possibilities. Both were likely; there was really nothing to choose between them. Luck and a certain degree of suspicion about Octordle methodology led me to one of the possibilities, and I had the thing completed.
