#1676 Wordle Answer and Hints for 2026-01-20 - SULLY

Date: 2026-01-20

Hi! I'm a Wordle fan from China. Here's my Wordle strategy for 2026/01/20. I started with my usual opener ALIKE and SHOUT.

A
L
I
K
E
S
H
O
U
T

From ALIKE I learned that L is present. From SHOUT I learned that S is correct in position 1, and U is present.

A
L
I
K
E
S
H
O
U
T
M
U
D
D
Y

Third guess MUDDY revealed U is correct in position 2 and Y is correct in position 5. Now I had the pattern SU__Y with L somewhere.

A
L
I
K
E
S
H
O
U
T
M
U
D
D
Y
S
U
L
L
Y

Answer found in 4 guesses! SULLY means to tarnish or damage the purity or integrity of something - like 'to sully one's reputation' or 'to sully the environment'! The key insight was using ALIKE, SHOUT, and MUDDY to quickly identify S, U, L, and Y and their correct positions, leading directly to SULLY!
