Is it possible to use "wished" instead of " made a wish" in the following sentence?
1. I wished and blew out the candles.
2. I made a wish and blew out the candles.

Question

Answer

"wished" is technically OK to use, but "I made a wish" sounds more natural, and is more commonly used in the situation of blowing candles on a cake on your birthday.  When you use just "wished", you usually say what you are wishing for:

"I wished I had studied more for the test."
