#1628 Wordle Answer and Hints for 2025-12-03 - HASTE

Date: 2025-12-03

Hi! I'm a Wordle fan from China. Here's my Wordle strategy for 2025/12/03. I like to start with ALIKE - it's a great opener that covers multiple vowels and useful consonants.

A
L
I
K
E

Excellent start! From ALIKE I learn that A is in the word (but wrong position), while E is confirmed in position 5! This gives me two key vowels to work with and eliminates L, K right away. Having the final letter E confirmed is huge information.

A
L
I
K
E
C
R
A
N
E

I choose CRANE to test the positioning of known vowels and introduce new consonants. This confirms A is present (still wrong position) and E is correct in position 5, while eliminating C, R, and N.

A
L
I
K
E
C
R
A
N
E
P
A
S
T
E

Major breakthrough! I use PASTE and hit the jackpot! A in position 2, S in position 3, T in position 4, and E confirmed in position 5! This gives me the _ASTE pattern, which is incredibly valuable and almost solves the puzzle completely.

A
L
I
K
E
C
R
A
N
E
P
A
S
T
E
B
A
S
T
E

Getting very close! BASTE confirms the _ASTE pattern is correct - only B is wrong in position 1. This narrows it down to just a few possibilities for the first letter (H, W, etc.).

A
L
I
K
E
C
R
A
N
E
P
A
S
T
E
B
A
S
T
E
H
A
S
T
E

Victory! HASTE solved in 5 guesses! HASTE means excessive speed or urgency, often used in phrases like 'in haste' or 'make haste'. The key breakthrough was using PASTE to discover almost the complete word structure, making the final guess straightforward.
