No best answer has yet been selected by rockfordill. Once a best answer has been selected, it will be shown here.
For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I agree that 'octad' is the required noun. ('Octal' is an adjective).
Searching on the German version of Google (and restricting the search to German websites) shows that 'Knackwurst' is certainly correct in Germany but most online dictionaries seem to indicate that either spelling of the answer is acceptable in English-speaking countries.

I instinctively thought 'suit' but then started wondering about whether 'denomination' referred to the the numerical value of cards, rather than to whether they're clubs, hearts, etc.
Looking up 'suit' in the Concise Oxford didn't help much but looking up 'denomination' showed that the word can not only refer to 'rank of playing-card within suit' but also 'of suit relative to others'.
So 'suit' appears to be correct (even though I think that the clue could have been better!)
