#1580 Wordle Answer and Hints for 2025-10-16 - CATTY

Date: 2025-10-16

Hi! I'm a Wordle fan from China. Here's my Wordle strategy for 2025/10/16. I like to open with SHOUT and ALIKE - together they cover all five vowels and several useful consonants.

A
L
I
K
E
S
H
O
U
T

Clues so far: From ALIKE we learn that A is in the word but not in position 1. From SHOUT we get T in the word but not in position 4. Next I try TRACK to test new consonants and position the known letters.

A
L
I
K
E
S
H
O
U
T
T
R
A
C
K

This gives us more information: A and T are confirmed (yellow), and we learn C is also in the word. The pattern is starting to emerge with A and T both present. Next I try MANDY to test Y and see if I can place A correctly.

A
L
I
K
E
S
H
O
U
T
T
R
A
C
K
M
A
N
D
Y

Great progress! MANDY locks in A at position 2 and Y at position 5. Now I know the word ends with Y and has A as the second letter. With T still needing placement, I try FACTY.

A
L
I
K
E
S
H
O
U
T
T
R
A
C
K
M
A
N
D
Y
F
A
C
T
Y

So close! FACTY confirms the structure with _A_TY pattern. Since we already know C is in the word from earlier guesses and C isn't in position 3, C can only be in position 1, narrowing it down to CA_TY. After some consideration, I try CATTY.

A

Y

Answer found: CATTY - solved in 6 guesses! CATTY means like a cat or relating to cats, often describing someone who is mean or unkind.
