#1626 Wordle Answer and Hints for 2025-12-01 - LEACH

Date: 2025-12-01

Hi! I'm a Wordle fan from China. Here's my Wordle strategy for 2025/12/01. I like to start with ALIKE - it's a great opener that covers multiple vowels and useful consonants.

A
L
I
K
E

Great start! From ALIKE I learn that A, L, and E are in the word (but wrong positions), while I and K are not in the word. This gives me three key letters to work with and eliminates two possibilities. Having three letters confirmed is excellent information.

A
L
I
K
E
L
E
A
S
T

Strategic move! I choose LEAST to test the positioning of A, L, and E. This is brilliant - LEAST locks L in position 1, E in position 2, and A in position 3! Now I have the pattern LEA__ with three letters perfectly placed, while eliminating S and T.

A
L
I
K
E
L
E
A
S
T
L
E
A
N
Y

Excellent refinement! I use LEANY to continue testing the LEA__ pattern, which eliminates N and Y from consideration. This narrows down the possibilities significantly while confirming the LEA__ foundation.

A
L
I
K
E
L
E
A
S
T
L
E
A
N
Y
L
E
A
C
H

Victory! LEACH solved in just 4 guesses! LEACH means to drain away liquid or pass through a porous substance. The key insight was using LEAST to efficiently position three core letters, which made finding the final answer much more straightforward.
