#1586 Wordle Answer and Hints for 2025-10-22 - STUNT
Date: 2025-10-22
Hi! I'm a Wordle fan from China. Here's my Wordle strategy for 2025/10/22. I like to open with SHOUT and ALIKE - together they cover all five vowels and several useful consonants.
Great start! ALIKE misses completely, but SHOUT gives us excellent information - S in position 1 (green) and T in position 5 (green). This is a fantastic opening with two letters locked in their correct positions immediately!
With S and T locked, I try PUFFY to test new consonants including F, which is a common letter in 5-letter words. This confirms U is present (yellow) - since positions 2 and 4 are already eliminated, U can only be in position 3. This gives us the pattern S_U_T!
Excellent progress! DRUNK gives us more information - U and N are correctly placed (green), and R is absent. Combined with the previous S_U_T pattern, this locks in S_UNT!
With S_UNT locked, I try STUNT. This perfectly places T in position 2 to complete the word.
Answer found: STUNT - solved in 5 guesses! STUNT means a difficult or unusual feat performed to attract attention, like in movies or circus performances. The key breakthrough was using DRUNK to confirm U and N in their correct positions, which locked in the S_UNT pattern and made the solution obvious.
