My average score for this month continues to sink and stink.

This is the 10th game this month that I have finished in 5 guesses. This is just the third time that I have finished 10 or more games in a calendar month in 5 guesses.

Time 7:15

Maybe I was tempting fate by starting with a word that included a Q.

I thought I had it narrowed down to two possible answers after my fourth guess but the answer was not one of those two words. Thankfully, either of those two words I thought of eliminated the other word because they both ended with the same letter. My sixth guess did not immediately come to mind after I saw the results of my fifth guess.

I checked after the fact and both of the words that I thought I had it narrowed down to after my fourth guess have been the answer in the past. I checked after the fact and my second guess is the only one of my first five guesses that has not been the answer in the past.

It didn’t occur to me until just now but I guess BREAK was also a possible answer except for the fact that I just checked and it has been the answer in the past. I sure am glad that FREAK came to mind and not BREAK.

This is the first time this month and 17th time overall that I have started a game with 0.2.3 and successfully finished it in 6 guesses. I have also had five games that began with 0.2.3 that I unsuccessfully finished in 6 guesses.

This is the 100th time I have successfully finished a game in 6 guesses.

This is the first time I have finished a game (successfully or unsuccessfully) in six guesses and that it has consisted of 12 green, 6 yellow, and 12 black letters.

Time 14:40

Most of my time was spent on my fourth and fifth guesses. If I had been thinking a little clearer then I might have gotten this one with my fourth guess. That said, my fourth guess did help to narrow down the possibilities even thought I should have known that it couldn’t be the answer.

Time 4:00

CLIFF came to mind almost immediately after my third guess but I looked for other possible words that fit before giving it a try. I couldn’t come up with any others so I gave it a try.

Talk about lucky guesses. I was thinking after my second guess I might be in for a bumpy ride. Not exactly.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 3 guesses. This is the 25th time that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 3 guesses.

This is my first 0Y game this month. This is the 30th time that I have started a 0Y game with 0.0.5. This is the 41st time that I have finished a 0Y game in 3 guesses. This is the 10th time that I have started a 0Y game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 3 guesses.

⬛️🟩🟩🟩🟩 PLINK

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 CLINK

Time 2:05

Maybe I should have finished this one in four instead of five guesses. I thought of CLINK first but chose to make PLINK my fourth guess.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 5 guesses. This is the fifth consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 5 guesses I have started at least one game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 5 guesses in 32 of the past 47 months.

This is the fourth consecutive game in which my next to last guess has been 4.0.1. This is just the third time that I’ve had four consecutive games in which my next to last game has been 4.0.1. It seems a bit odd that this is just the third time this has happened considering that 4.0.1 is my next to last guess in roughly one-fifth (20.6%) of my games. I’ve never had more than four consecutive games in which my next to last guess has been 4.0.1.
