Yes, any win is a good win with the crazy 8! I also have Jan 16th as the next available deluxe waffle - very elite!

Very happy with the crazy 8! I think the best anyone could get for Octordle realistically is 52 - from 3-10.

I guess it's possible to get better, but you'd have to be lucky.

I guess the trick is to figure it out in your head, and then figure out what the best way to do all the switches is. Otherwise, you're getting one letter where you want it, but the other one isn't going where you want it, and then you have to trade that one again. There's some degree of making a trade with a future trade in mind.
