#1651 Wordle Answer and Hints for 2025-12-26 - SPEED

Hi! I'm a Wordle fan from China. Here's my Wordle strategy for 2025/12/26. I started with my usual opener ALIKE and SHOUT.

From ALIKE I learned that E is present but not in position 5! I also eliminated A, L, I, and K from consideration. SHOUT was a great breakthrough - it revealed that S is correctly placed in position 1! I also eliminated H, O, U, and T. Now I knew the pattern with S locked in position 1, and E somewhere in positions 2, 3, or 4.

Answer found in 3 guesses! SPEED is the rate at which someone or something moves or operates - like how fast a car drives or how quickly time passes! The key breakthrough was SHOUT locking in S in position 1, and ALIKE revealing E was present, which helped me narrow down to SPEED as a strong candidate word.
