#1620 Wordle Answer and Hints for 2025-11-25 - PLEAD

Date: 2025-11-25

Hi! I'm a Wordle fan from China. Here's my Wordle strategy for 2025/11/25. I like to open with ALIKE to quickly identify key letters and vowels.

A
L
I
K
E

From ALIKE I learn that L is in the correct position (position 2), while A, E, are present but in wrong positions. I and K are absent. This gives me three important letters to work with: L, A, and E.

A
L
I
K
E
C
L
E
A
N
G
L
E
A
M
B
L
E
A
R

I need to rearrange these four letters. I try several combinations: CLEAN, GLEAM, and BLEAR. Each confirms that L, E, and A are in the word but helps narrow down their correct positions.

A
L
I
K
E
C
L
E
A
N
G
L
E
A
M
B
L
E
A
R
P
L
E
A
T

Getting closer! I try PLEAT to position the letters I've discovered. This is excellent - P, L, E, and A all lock into their correct positions! The pattern is now PLEA_ with just the final letter missing.

A
L
I
K
E
C
L
E
A
N
G
L
E
A
M
B
L
E
A
R
P
L
E
A
T
P
L
E
A
D

With the PLEA_ pattern clearly established, I just need to find the missing letter for position 5. I try PLEAD and it's perfect - D completes the word!

Answer found: PLEAD - solved in 6 guesses! PLEAD means to appeal or beg earnestly. The key breakthrough was using PLEAT to establish the PLEA_ pattern, which guided me toward the final answer with D as the missing letter.
