Unscramble OCTHRO: Letters, Definition, and Answer
OCTHRO unscrambles to COHORT, a 6-letter noun from Jumble Answers Today: October 30, 2026. Repeated letters: O (×2).
How to crack OCTHRO
TORCH uses five tiles and looks finished until the leftover O has nowhere to go — the trap that burns a minute on this rack. CHORT and ROOT pull the same way and fail on leftovers. Stop treating TORCH as the whole answer. Put COH at the front the way coherent starts, then ORT at the end: COH, ORT. Once both O letters sit inside the companion noun, COHORT is the only everyday word left.

What does COHORT mean?
COHORT (noun): a companion or ally, or a group of people who share a trait or time period. Example: “The horseman's only cohort for the night ride was the pumpkin on his saddle.”
Similar: companion, ally, group, peer group.
Did you know? "Cohort" comes from Latin cohors, a Roman military unit of several hundred soldiers. Statisticians later reused it for a group of people followed through the same span of time.
Using COHORT in a sentence
A cohort is a companion or a group sharing a trait: a trusted cohort, the 1990s birth cohort, a study cohort in a medical paper. Ally and peer group cover similar ground; there is no tidy one-word opposite. In the plural, cohorts can mean companions who travel together. Keep cohort separate from court and torch as jumble cousins — torch was the five-letter decoy on this rack, and cohort is the Latin-derived group noun the leftover O was waiting to complete.
How COHORT fits the puzzle
COHORT circles O, H, O and R. Those four letters become the H that opens HEAD, two of the O letters in OFF and TO, and the R in WORK — so this six-letter group word stocks the horseman phrase with the letters that look unused until HEAD clicks.
Its circled letters feed the caption answer, HEAD OFF TO WORK.
