#1689 Wordle Answer and Hints for 2026-02-02 - CIGAR
Date: 2026-02-02
Hi! I'm a Wordle fan from China. Here's my Wordle strategy for 2026/02/02. I started with my usual opener ALIKE.
From ALIKE I learned that A and I are present. Since two vowels are present, I didn't test my another opener SHOUT this time.
Second guess MANDY revealed that A is not in position 2. M, N, D, and Y were all absent.
Third guess DRAGS revealed that R, A, and G are present. A is not in position 1, 2, or 3. So A must be in position 4 or 5.
Fourth guess FIGHT revealed that I and G are correct in positions 2 and 3.
Fifth guess BECAP revealed that C is present and A is correct in position 4. Now I had the pattern _IGA_ with C and R in the word.
Answer found in 6 guesses! The key insight was using ALIKE, MANDY, DRAGS, FIGHT, and BECAP to systematically identify C, I, G, A, and R and their correct positions through elimination!
