January 6, 2025 Wordle answer
The answer was SPRIG. The dated Times of India clue page and the Wordle Today answer archive both identify SPRIG as the solution; the archive labels it puzzle #1,297. These are secondary sources rather than an official NYT confirmation: Times of India’s January 6, 2025 clues and the Wordle Today answer archive.
Why does the title say #1662?
The date and number in the supplied title do not refer to the same puzzle. The consulted coverage identifies January 6, 2025 as #1,297, while #1,662 is associated with Tuesday, January 6, 2026. To find the historical answer, use the date and #1,297 together; #1,662 points to the following year’s puzzle. The numbering conflict is also noted in the January 6, 2026 puzzle coverage.

How Wordle feedback works
Wordle challenges you to guess a five-letter word. After each guess, the tile colors show how your letters compare with the answer:
- Green: The letter is in the answer and in the correct position.
- Yellow: The letter is in the answer but in a different position.
- Grey: The letter is not in the answer.
These color meanings are described in a secondary Wordle guide, not quoted here as official NYT wording: CNET’s Wordle tips and rules guide.
