#1621 Wordle Answer and Hints for 2025-11-26 - HOVEL

Date: 2025-11-26

Hi! I'm a Wordle fan from China. Here's my Wordle strategy for 2025/11/26. I like to open with ALIKE and SHOUT - together they cover all five vowels and several useful consonants.

A
L
I
K
E
S
H
O
U
T

Good start! From ALIKE I learn that L and E are in the word (but wrong positions), and from SHOUT I get H and O are in the word (also wrong positions). So I have four letters to work with: L, E, H, and O. This suggests a word with multiple vowels and consonants to position correctly.

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

Great progress! I try HOLEY to test new consonants while attempting to place the known letters. This is excellent - H locks in position 1 (green), O locks in position 2 (green), and E locks in position 4 (green)! Now I have the pattern HO_E_ with L confirmed to be in the word but misplaced.

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

Answer found: HOVEL - solved in 4 guesses! HOVEL means a small, squalid dwelling or cottage. The key breakthrough was using HOLEY to lock in three consecutive letters (H, O, E) in their correct positions, which made the final solution straightforward with L fitting perfectly in position 3 and V completing the word.
