#1624 Wordle Answer and Hints for 2025-11-29 - GRUFF

Date: 2025-11-29

Hi! I'm a Wordle fan from China. Here's my Wordle strategy for 2025/11/29. I like to start with a dual-opener approach using ALIKE and SHOUT to quickly gather information about vowels and consonants.

A
L
I
K
E
S
H
O
U
T

Tough start! From ALIKE I learn that none of the letters A, L, I, K, E are in the word - this eliminates 5 common letters! From SHOUT I discover that U is in the word and it's not in position 4, while S, H, O and T are not in the word. This gives me one crucial letter position.

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

Good progress! I choose CRUMB to test new consonants and confirm U's position. This reveals R in position 2 and U in position 3, while C, M and B are not in the word. Now I have the pattern _RU__ with two letters perfectly placed.

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

Getting warmer! I try GRUND, which confirms G in position 1, R in position 2, and U in position 3. The pattern becomes GRU__ - just need to figure out the last two letters.

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

Success! GRUFF completes the puzzle! GRUFF means rough or low in pitch, or speaking in a rough, low voice. The key was systematically eliminating letters and using the position information to build the word step by step.
