⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ NIGHT
🟩⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ PLEAD
🟩🟩⬛️⬛️⬛️ PORUS
🟩🟩⬛️⬛️🟩 POOFY
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 POPPY

Time 5:50

I considered making POPPY my fourth guess but decided to not to because it seemed more likely to me at the time that there was a second O. I checked after the fact and POOFY has yet to be the answer.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5. This is the 29th consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.0.5. I have started at least one game with 0.0.5 in 39 of the past 41 months.

⬛️⬛️⬛️🟨🟨 SLAIN
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 INCUR

Time 15:25

I spent most of my time on my third guess. I couldn’t think of any words that fit based on the information I had. I ultimately decided to try something that I knew couldn’t be the answer in the hopes that it would get me closer to the answer, and it did.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 4 guesses. This is the 41st consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 4 guesses.

This is the third time this year that it has taken me at least 15 minutes to finish a game.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 MOLDY

Time 1:35

I didn’t have a single 5G game last month and this month I start with a 5G game. This is the second time in the past three months that I have started a month with a 5G game. This is the fifth time that I have started a month with a 5G game.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4. I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 in all of the past 41 months.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 3 guesses. This is the seventh consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 3 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 3 guesses in 38 of the past 41 months.

This is the 19th time that I have started a 5G game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 3 guesses. This start / finish / combination accounts for almost a quarter (19/79) of my 5G games to date and is the most common start / finish combination I have had in 5G games.

Wordle 1472

⬛️🟩⬛️🟩⬛️ FLUNG
⬛️🟩⬛️🟩⬛️ PLANE
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 BLINK

Time 1:40

I like the symmetry of the colors in the grid.

This is the fifth time during my current winning streak that I have finished a 0Y game in 3 guesses. The only winning streak in which I finished more 0Y games in 3 guess was my 10th winning streak (443 games).

This is the tenth time this month that I have finished a game in 3 guesses. This is the eighth time that I have finished at least 10 games in a calendar month in 3 guesses.

Games played: 1224
Winning streak: 61

That’s it for June. My average score for June was 3.77. This is the fourth time in the past five months that my average score for the month has been less than 4.

I finished more games this month in 3 guesses than I did in 4 guesses. This is the sixth time that has happened.

I did not have any 5G games this month. This is just the fifth time that I have gone an entire calendar month without a 5G game.

⬛️⬛️🟨⬛️⬛️ FLICK
⬛️🟩⬛️⬛️⬛️ HIPER
⬛️🟩⬛️⬛️🟩 DINGY
⬛️🟩⬛️🟩🟩 MISTY
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 WITTY

Time 7:00

I wasn’t sure if my second guess was a word but I decided to give it a try.

I had the possible answers narrowed down to WITTY and BITTY after my fourth guess. I considered going with Plan B, at that point, just to play it safe, but I couldn’t come up with any words that I liked that included B and W. I finally decided to try WITTY because I thought of it first.

After the fact it occurred to to me that the answer could also have been TITTY. I checked after the fact and BITTY and TITTY have not been the answer in the past. I kind of doubt that TITTY will ever be the answer.
