Hi! I'm a Wordle fan from China. Here's my Wordle strategy for 2026/01/29. I started with my usual opener ALIKE and SHOUT.

Great start!From ALIKE I learned that L and K are correct. A is present but not in position 1. SHOUT eliminated all letters - none of S, H, O, U, T were in the answer.

Third guess BRACK revealed that A is correct in position 3. The pattern is now _LAK_.

Fourth guess MONEY revealed that Y is correct in position 5. Now I had the pattern _LAKY with just one letter to figure out!

Answer found in 5 guesses! FLAKY means light and airy, or lacking substance - like 'a flaky pastry' or 'flaky skin'! The key insight was using ALIKE, SHOUT, and BRACK to systematically identify L, A, K, and Y and their correct positions through elimination!
