#1616 Wordle Answer and Hints for 2025-11-21 - VOWEL

Date: 2025-11-21

Hi! I'm a Wordle fan from China. Here's my Wordle strategy for 2025/11/21. I like to open with ALIKE and SHOUT to quickly identify key letters and vowels.

A
L
I
K
E
S
H
O
U
T

Good start! From ALIKE I learn that L is present somewhere in the word and E is also present. From SHOUT I discover that O is also present. This gives me three important letters to work with: L, E, and O scattered throughout the word.

A
L
I
K
E
S
H
O
U
T
L
O
V
E
Y

Great progress! I try LOVEY to test the discovered letters in new positions. This is excellent - O locks in position 2 (green), E locks in position 4 (green), and I also learn that V is present somewhere and L is present but not in position 1. The pattern is now _O_E_ with two positions to determine.

A
L
I
K
E
S
H
O
U
T
L
O
V
E
Y
W
O
L
V
E

Getting closer! I try WOLVE to test more arrangements while maintaining the established pattern. This is very helpful - I confirm that W, V, and L are all present letters. Now I know all five letters (V, O, W, E, L) and just need to arrange them correctly.

A
L
I
K
E
S
H
O
U
T
L
O
V
E
Y
W
O
L
V
E
V
O
W
E
L

With all five letters identified (V, O, W, E, L) and knowing O is in position 2 and E is in position 4, the answer becomes clear. I try VOWEL and it's perfect - all letters lock into their correct positions!

Answer found: VOWEL - solved in 5 guesses! VOWEL means a speech sound made with the vocal tract open. The key breakthrough was using LOVEY to establish the _O_E_ pattern early, then using WOLVE to confirm all five letters before arranging them into the final solution.
