#1648 Wordle Answer and Hints for 2025-12-23 - GLINT

Hi! I'm a Wordle fan from China. Here's my Wordle strategy for 2025/12/23. I started with my usual opener ALIKE.

Excellent start! From ALIKE I learned that L is correctly placed in position 2, and I is correctly placed in position 3! I also eliminated A, K, and E from consideration. This gave me the pattern _LI__ with two letters perfectly positioned.

Second round I tried MONTH and DRUGS to explore remaining possibilities. MONTH revealed that N and T are both present. DRUGS showed G is present. Now I had found all the five letters: L and I in positions 2 and 3, plus G, N, and T somewhere else.

Answer found in just 4 guesses! GLINT means a brief flash of sparkly light, like the glint of sunlight on water or the glint of metal. The key breakthrough was ALIKE locking in L and I in positions 2 and 3, which made GLINT the perfect fit with G at the start, N in position 4, and T at the end.
