Wordle answer for January 7, 2026
PECAN is the answer to Wednesday, January 7, 2026’s Wordle, puzzle #1663, according to the NYT Game Solver past-answer archive and AllThings.How’s date-specific answer guide.
What to know about the answer
AllThings.How describes PECAN as a five-letter noun with two vowels, three consonants, and no repeated letters. Pecans are used in pies, pralines, ice cream, and snack mixes; the kernel is sweet and buttery. The guide also notes that PECAN shares four letters with CRANE, all in different positions. Treat that as the guide’s hint, not as a reconstruction of Wordle feedback.
How Wordle feedback works
Wordle gives players up to six attempts to guess a hidden five-letter word. Green marks a correct letter in the right position, yellow means the letter is in the answer but in a different position, and gray indicates the letter is absent.
