Wordle Answer #1660 - January 4, 2026

January 4, 2026 is here, and Wordle puzzle #1660 is a fun one with a meaning you probably know, even if it doesn’t jump to mind right away. It’s the kind of word that feels simple once you see it. If you want a gentle nudge before you burn guesses, you’re in the right place.

• Meaning relates to a group that forms around a shared goal or action.
• Often used in stories about law, pursuit, or a quick team-up.
• It’s a common noun, not a name or place.
• You might see it in older books, movies, or news writing.

Watch out for guesses that push you toward longer, fancier “group” words, because today’s answer is short and plain. Another trap is picking a similar meaning that’s more modern or more formal. Also, don’t forget that Wordle sometimes likes everyday words that aren’t your first pick.

• It has 2 vowels (Y is not a vowel here).
• There is a repeated letter.
• It starts with P and ends with E.
• Pattern: P _ _ _ E
• Strong hint: think of a small band of people gathered to chase after someone or something, especially in an old-time setting.

If you’re one guess away, aim for a simple “group” word that matches the pattern and repeats a letter. Ready for the reveal?
