February 4, 2026 brings Wordle puzzle #1691. If you’re close but not quite there, these hints should help you lock it in. Take a breath, scan what you’ve already tried, and narrow it down.

• This is a verb that can describe how someone talks to another person.
• The tone is not friendly; it’s more like a mild scolding.
• It’s something you might do with words, not with your hands.
• It can happen in a quick moment, like a short remark.

Words like today’s can be tricky because there are a few near-misses that feel right but don’t match your grid. You might also get pulled toward longer or more dramatic “angry” words, when this one is simpler and shorter. Watch out for guesses that fit the mood but don’t fit the letter layout you’ve built.

• It’s a common everyday word, not a rare one.
• The meaning is close to “to tell someone off,” but not as harsh as “to punish.”
• There are 2 vowels, and Y is not a vowel here.
• No repeated letters.
• Starts with C and ends with E.
• Pattern: C _ _ _ E
