#1642 Wordle Answer and Hints for 2025-12-17 - GRASS

Date: 2025-12-17

Hi! I'm a Wordle fan from China. Here's my Wordle strategy for 2025/12/17. I started with my usual opener ALIKE and SHOUT.

A
L
I
K
E
S
H
O
U
T

Not the best start! From ALIKE I learned that A is present but in the wrong position, while L, I, K, E are not in the word. From SHOUT I discovered that S is also present but in the wrong position, while H, O, U, T are not in the word.

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

Third guess CRABS was a breakthrough! It revealed that R is correctly placed in the 2nd position, A is correctly placed in the 3rd position, and S is correctly placed in the 5th position. Now I had the pattern _RA_S!

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

Fourth guess GRAMS was very close - it confirmed that G, R, A, and S are all correctly placed, but M wasn't the right 4th letter. I knew the answer was GRAS_!

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

Fifth guess GRASS got it right. GRASS is a common word referring to vegetation with narrow green leaves. The key was methodically confirming each letter's position through strategic guesses.
