#1665 Wordle Answer and Hints for 2026-01-09 - EIGHT

Hi! I'm a Wordle fan from China. Here's my Wordle strategy for 2026/01/09. I started with my usual opener ALIKE.

From ALIKE I learned that I and E are present but not in positions 3 and 5 respectively. A, L, and K were all absent.

Second guess REMIT was strategic! T is correct in position 5! E and I are present but not in positions 2 and 4 respectively. R and M were absent.

Third guess BINGO was crucial! I is correct in position 2! G is present but not in position 4. B, N, and O were all absent. At this point, I had I in position 2, T in position 5, with E and G needing placement in the remaining spots!

Answer found in 4 guesses! EIGHT is the number 8, one of the most fundamental numbers in mathematics and everyday life! It's also commonly used in phrases like 'piece of cake' when something is easy! The key insight was using ALIKE, REMIT, and BINGO to systematically identify all five letters (E, I, G, H, T) and their correct positions through elimination!
