Wordle #1604 – Hints and Solution for Sunday, November 9 2025

If you’re playing Wordle daily, today you hit puzzle #1604. This article gives you clear hints (without giving away everything at first) and then reveals the answer if you’re ready. ✅

We’ll also walk through why the answer works, and share some strategic take-aways to help you with future puzzles.

What is Wordle and Why These Hints Matter

For context: Wordle is a daily five-letter word game by Josh Wardle and now managed by The New York Times Company. Wikipedia+2Tom's Guide+2

Each day one word is chosen, and you have six guesses. After each guess the game tells you:

• Which letters are correct and in the right place (green)

• Which letters are present but in the wrong place (yellow)

• Which letters are absent (grey)

Because you want to minimise mistakes and keep your streak going, knowing good hints helps you launch your first few guesses with purpose. Today’s puzzle is no different.

Hints for Today’s Puzzle (#1604)

Here are the strategic clues for today’s Wordle (no full reveal just yet):

Hint 1 – It starts with “F”

The first letter of the word is F. Tom's Guide+2TechRadar+2

Hint 2 – It has three vowels, one of them repeated

The word contains three standard vowels (A, E, I, O, U) and one of them appears twice. TechRadar+1

Hint 3 – It ends with “E”

The last letter is E. TechRadar+1

Hint 4 – The definition helps

The meaning of the word can be described as a “trance-like state marked by amnesia” or a type of “musical composition”. TechRadar

With these hints, you’re in a strong position to guess today’s word rather than rely purely on luck.

The answer to Wordle #1604 (Sunday, November 9 2025) is:

FUGUE

Yes – F U G U E. Try Hard Guides+2Tom's Guide+2

Why the Word is “FUGUE”

Let’s break it down:

• It begins with F. (Matches hint 1)

• It ends with E. (Matches hint 3)

• It uses three vowels: U, U, E (that’s the repeated vowel U). Matches hint 2.

• The meaning fits: “fugue” (in psychology) = a state of amnesia or trance-like dissociation; musically, it’s a composition technique. (Matches hint 4)

So the word hits every single hint.

Strategic Take-aways & Tips for Future Wordles

Since you now know how this puzzle was framed, here are some pointers to apply to your future games:

• Begin with a strong starter word: Words that include several common letters and vowels help you reveal information quickly.

• Watch for repeated letters: Many players assume all letters are unique — but today’s word had a repeated vowel. Missing that can lead to wasted guesses.

• Pay attention to vowels: If you guess a word and discover you have 2-3 vowels hit (or one repeated), that dramatically narrows the possibilities.

• Check the first and last letter hints: Many Wordle solutions have a common first or last letter (for instance “E” is very common at the end). Using that to your advantage helps.

• Don’t get stuck in one thinking lane: If your guess yields few greens or yellows, change strategy for your next guess (e.g., choose a totally different pattern of letters).

• Build your mental “word pool”: Familiarity helps. Words like “fugue” may not be everyday vocabulary for everyone, but if you're aware of less-common words, you’ll spot them faster.

• Keep the streak, but don’t worry if you miss one: The fun in Wordle is the challenge. Falling once or twice teaches you more than one easy win.

Summary

– Today's Wordle (#1604) starts with F, ends with E, has three vowels (one repeated), and means a trance-like state or musical composition.
– The answer is FUGUE.
– Use these hint-types as frameworks in future puzzles: initial/final letters + vowel count/repetition + meaning cues.
– Strategy matters: a smart first guess + flexibility + knowledge = fewer attempts.

Happy puzzling! And may your next streak be even longer. 🎉
