#1643 Wordle Answer and Hints for 2025-12-18 - RUGBY

Date: 2025-12-18

Hi! I'm a Wordle fan from China. Here's my Wordle strategy for 2025/12/18. I started with my usual opener ALIKE and SHOUT.

A
L
I
K
E
S
H
O
U
T

Tough start! From ALIKE I learned that none of the letters A, L, I, K, E are in the word. From SHOUT I discovered that U is present but in the wrong position (4th), while S, H, O, T are not in the word.

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

Third guess CRUMB gave me some useful clues - R, U, and B are present but in the wrong positions.

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

Fourth guess BURRY was very helpful! It confirmed that U is correctly placed in the 3rd position, and Y is correctly placed in the 5th position. Now I had the pattern _U__Y.

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

Fifth guess RUBBY was so close! It had R, U, B, Y all in the right positions, but I needed to find the correct 3th letter. I knew the answer was RU_BY!

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

Sixth guess RUGBY finally got it! RUGBY is a popular team sport played with an oval ball. The key was methodically eliminating wrong letters and using the process of elimination to find the missing G.
