#1700 Wordle Answer and Hints for 2026-02-13 - MOOCH
Date: 2026-02-13
Hi! I'm a Wordle fan from China. Here's my Wordle strategy for 2026/02/13. I started with my usual opener ALIKE and SHOUT.
ALIKE eliminated all letters - none of A, L, I, K, E were in the answer. From SHOUT I learned that O is correct in position 3 and H is present. Since only one vowel is present, I decided to test double o with H in the word. So I tested the _OOCH pattern.
POOCH was a breakthrough! O, O, C, H are all correct in positions 2, 3, 4, and 5! Only last letter to figure out!
Answer found in 4 guesses! MOOCH means to beg or borrow money - like 'he mooched money from his friend'! The key insight was testing the _OOCH pattern to quickly identify O, O, C, H and their correct positions!
