I had one 0Y game in Dec, thus extending my streak of months with at least one such game to nine.

This is the first time it has taken me 6 guesses to finish a game this month. The last time it took me 6 guesses to finish a game was on Nov 24, Thanksgiving. I have started with 0.1.4 roughly half of the games (10/21) it has taken me six guesses to finish.

This game took me probably 7 to 8 minutes. I spent most of that time trying to figure out what my fourth guess should be. The word I chose was the only one that fit that occurred to me.

I was pretty sure after my second guess that I wasn’t going to finish this one in 3 guesses and that it might take me more than 4 guesses to get to the right answer. I am very happy that it only took me 4 guesses.

Usually (38/91) when I start with 0.1.4 I finish the game in 4 guesses. It is unusual (10/91) when I start with 0.1.4 for the game to last more than 5 guesses. I have yet to start with 0.1.4 and finish in 2 guesses.

Fast. Very fast. My first thought for my second guess was PAPER but I opted not to go with that for the obvious reason that it has two Ps. TAPER was the next word that occurred to me but I suppose I could have also tried CAPER.

This is the seventh time I have started a game with 2.0.3 and the seventh time I have finished a game in 2 guesses but it is the first time that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 2 guesses.

It is unusual (4/29) for it to take me 5 guesses to finish a game that began with 1.1.3 but the previous time that happened was less than a week ago on Nov 30. The other two times this happened were in March and April.

This is the 75th game of my current streak. My average number of guesses for this streak is 3.89. I finished all but four of those games in 3, 4, or 5 guesses. The exceptions were a game that I finished in 2 guesses and three games that I finished in 6 guesses.

This is the second time since I started playing that I didn’t get any green or yellow letters on my first or second guess. The first time that happened was on May 25 which was also the first time that I got a 5G and a 0Y in the same game. The only other time that happened was one and only time I got the answer on the first guess.

This my third 0Y this month which ties my record that was set in July. I also reached this mark in October. This is my sixth 0Y this streak which ties my record that was set during my longest streak.

This was not short or sweet. I took my time with this one. It took more guesses than I wanted it to. There were lots of other possible correct answers but somehow I found the right one. I was nervous after my second guess because I could see that there was a myriad of possibilities. There seem to be some rules about words that end with ER and I tried to stick with them when I was picking my last three guesses and in the end it seems to have paid off but I think I also got lucky.

I finished the first 53 games in my current streak without it taking me 6 guesses to finish a game. This is the second time in the past 4 games that it has taken me 6 guesses to finish a game.

This is the first time I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 6 guesses since Aug 27. Usually (22/30) I am able to finish games that begin with 0.0.5 in three or four guesses.

It is my sixth time overall finishing a game in 2 guesses. All six of those games have started differently.

This is my first 0Y this month. I have now had at least one 0Y in every month starting from April through November. It is my fourth 0Y this streak and my 15th one overall. It is the second time I have finished a game in 2 guesses without any yellow letters.

This is currently my second longest streak. My average score this streak is 3.76 which is lower than for any previous streaks. So far I have finished every game this streak in 2 (1), 3 (20), 4 (19), or 5 (10) guesses. The number of 3 guess games is nearing the number I had in my longest (95) streak when I had 24 such games. I have had three 5G games and four 0Y games during my current streak but I have yet to have a game that is both a 0Y and a 5G in my current streak.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SPELL

I wanted my first guess to be DALIT but that was unacceptable even though spellcheck is okay with that word. I tried to come up with a word that had another vowel in it for my third guess but I couldn’t think of anything so I went with the first word that came to mind that fit.

Septle, once again, for the second day in a row, had a different word for today’s game. I’m not sure why. I finished it in 5 but I don’t think I’m going to track that.

This is the first time since Oct 2 that I have started a game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 4 guesses. This ends a streak of 4 games that I started with 1.0.4 and finished in 3 guesses.

This took about 10 minutes. The first three guesses took no time at all. The fourth guess took me a little longer.

Usually Septle and Wordle have the same 5-letter game. Today they weren’t the same. I wonder why? I got it in four on Septle but I didn’t notice the incongruity until I had typed in three of my guesses from playing on NYT.

This is my first 5G this month, third one during my current streak, and 12th one overall. My previous 5G happened exactly 3 weeks ago, on Oct 17. I have had at least 1 every month from April through November.

This didn’t take long at all. I looked for other possible answers for my third guess but DREAM was the only one I could find.

This is the first time this month that I have started with 1.1.3 which didn’t happen very frequently in the last couple months. It only happened once in September and once in October even though, according to my records, it happens a little more frequently than 10% of the time.

That was fast.

Roughly half the time (15/31) that I start with 1.0.4 I finish in 3 guesses. The past 4 games (including this one) that started with 1.0.4 ended in 3 guesses. Prior to that there was a streak of 4 games that started 1.0.4 ending in 4 guesses.

This was relatively easy but getting three of the letters on your first guess makes a big difference.

It is unusual for me to start with 0.3.2 which according to my records happens on average once every 20 games. My previous 0.3.2 on my first guess happened 59 days ago on Sep 4. The combination of starting with 0.3.2 and finishing in 3 guesses is not unusual. More often than not (7/12) if I start with with 0.3.2 then I finish it in 3 guesses.

This one took a few more guesses than I wanted it to but it probably didn’t take me more than 10 minutes to finish. I don’t think I wasted any guesses but it wasn’t until my fifth guess that I finally got the E in the right place.

Seven of the past ten games have begun with 0.1.4 even though on average that happens only about one-third of the time.

My current streak is now at 42 which ties the second longest of my previous streaks. It will take me seven-and-a-half weeks, until Christmas Eve, if I make it, to close the gap between my current streak and my longest one.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 APTLY

This one me a while. Most of the time was spent after I had made my second guess. I had trouble figuring out what the missing letter was and how to arrange the letters I already had.

This was my first 1.2.2 in over a month. The last time I started a game with 1.2.2 was on Sep 19. This was only my eighth game that began with 1.2.2 which means that it happens on average about once every 31 days.

This is also my last game for October. I completed all my games in October in 3, 4, or 5 guesses. I completed a new personal monthly best 14 games in 3 guesses. I finished 9 games in 4 guesses and 8 games in 5 guesses. Neither of those are monthly record highs or lows.

I had one 5G and three 0Y games in October. One of the 0Y games took me 4 guesses but the other two and the 5G game I finished in 3 guesses.

My average score for October was 3.83. That is a new monthly record low.

The split between games that took 3 and 5 guesses to complete was at +3 in favor of games that took 3 guesses to complete, at the end of September. It is now, at the end of October, at +10 in favor of games that took 3 guesses to complete.

This took a little over 5 minutes. It took me a few minutes to figure out what my options were after my second guess. WALTZ was the first and only word that occurred to me.

I started with 0.1.4 for the sixth time in the past eight games.

This is my 250th game of Wordle. My average score is 4.10 but if I exclude losses then it is 4.05. That is the lowest cumulative average score I have ever had.

The dominance of games that take 4 guesses to complete continues but it has diminished a bit. Considering that my average score has dropped over the course of the last 25 games that means that I have had completed more games in 3 guesses than 4 in that stretch.

I completed all of the last 25 games in 3, 4, or 5 guesses. I finished 11 of the past 25 games in 3 guesses, 7 in 4 guesses, and 7 in 5 guesses.

I had one 5G and two 0Y games in the past 25 games. All three of those came in games that it took me 3 guesses to complete.

The current split between 3 and 5 guess games is currently +9 in favor of 3 guess games and that is the highest it has ever been.

This took 10 minutes or so. I wanted my second guess to include the three vowels that I had not tried yet in my first guess but I had trouble coming up with one that fit. I did not consult my list of start words. I also considered making CARAT my fourth guess but I thought of CARRY first and decided to go with that because I thought of it first.

Yesterday I also started with 0.1.4 and finished the game in four guesses. Four of the last five games have started with 0.1.4 which is extremely common but doesn’t usually occur that frequently.

This is the first time since Sep 30 that I have started with 0.1.4 and finished in 3 guesses. This is my 10th three this month and 12th one this streak. The monthly total is a new record and there is still several days left in the month. The total for the streak ties my second highest for a streak. The other streak in which I had 12 threes lasted 42 games and ran from Mar 17 to Apr 27. So far my current streak has lasted 34 games.

My second guess came from my list of start words. It was one of two words that fit. I think I got lucky that I found the U and the M early on. I didn’t get so lucky with guessing the first letter in the word. I thought about trying YUMMY as my third guess but MUMMY didn’t occur to me until after my fourth guess.

This is my first 5 since Oct 14 and ends my 8-game run of games that I finished in 3 or 4 guesses. My average number of guesses for the month and the current streak both stand at exactly 3.91.

Almost one-third of the time (8/27) that I start with 0.0.5 I finish the game in 3 guesses. I have yet to start a game with 0.0.5 and lose.

My second 0Y of the month and the streak, and my 13th one overall. I have had at least one every month from April through October.

I am currently in the midst of a run of 6 games in which I have finished in 3 or 4 guesses. My record is 9 consecutive games. That has happened just once before, from May 23 to 31. Prior to my current run I had a run of games in which it took me 5 guesses in 5 out of 6 games.

My previous streak ended exactly a month ago today and lasted just 3 games. I am 30 games into my current streak.

I consulted my list of start words when deciding what my second guess should be but SHINE wasn’t on my list. It is now. I found the answer kind of by chance. I typed it in without even thinking that I was typing a real word. I put E at the beginning. I put X next as a place holder. I typed I next because it had to there. I ended the word with ST because it seemed like a plausible ending. It was only then that I realized I had typed a possible answer which turned out to be the correct answer.

I have started with 0.0.5 and finished in three guesses before, seven times to be precise, but the previous time was over two months ago on Aug 3.

I opened with 1.1.3 for the first time this streak. The last time I opened with 1.1.3 was almost a month ago, near the end of the prior streak.

I finished the game in 4 which happens roughly half the time (13/25) when I score a 1.1.3 with my first guess.

CRIME does pay!

I considered making COUCH for my second guess but then I thought of COUTH. Playing COUCH would not only have been a very risky play but as it turns out would not have been good risk to take. I think CATCH was the only possible answer after trying COUTH.

I’m 25 games into my current streak. My average score for this streak is exactly 4. The distribution of scores is symmetrical: (3x7) + (4x11) + (5x7) / 25 = 4. It has been exactly one week since my last 4 and today was the first time in almost two weeks (13 days) since I last started with 1.0.4. All but two of the 5s in this streak happened in the last seven days.

I don’t know if I’ve ever had that many yellow tiles and they were all the same letter.

This is the third game in a row that it has taken me 5 guesses to get the right answer. It is the fifth time time in the last six games that it has taken me 5 guesses. It is the sixth time this month and seventh time in my current streak that it has taken me 5 guesses.

Yet another one that took more guesses and more time than I wanted it to. I didn’t consult my list of start words for subsequent guesses. It seemed like there were lots of possibilities although it still took me a while to figure this one out.

This is the second consecutive day that I have started with 0.2.3 and that it has taken me 5 guesses. That’s the first time that has happened on consecutive days. Four of my past five games have taken 5 guesses. Five of my past seven games have started with 0.2.3.

I looked in my list of start words for something to play on my second guess but there was nothing that fit the criteria. I wanted something that had two vowels but PICKY was the only word that I could think of that fit. SONIC didn’t occur to me until after I played PICKY.

Three of my past four games have taken 5 guesses. Four of my past six games have started with 0.2.3. My average for this streak is creeping up toward 4. I wish it was lower but I’m happy that the streak is still going.

My second guess came from my list of start words. There was just one other word that fit my criteria but I liked OPERA better. My third guess was the first word that occurred to me and a bit of a shot in the dark, but it worked. My fourth guess was a good one but not the right word.

This makes the second consecutive day that I started with 0.1.4 and it took me 5 guesses to finish the game. That also happened on Apr 20-21, Jul 2-3, and Jul 36-27. I have never had that happen on three consecutive days.

My longest streak of starting with 0.1.4 lasted 5 days and occurred on May 17-21. My longest streak of games that lasted 5 guesses was also 5 days and occurred on Jul 2-6.

I checked my start word list when I was trying to figure out what my second guess should be. There was nothing on the list that fit the criteria for the second word.

It looks like this one gave a lot of people a lot of trouble. DIVAN was a lucky guess. If I had guessed something like HANDY then I would have had 4 green tiles but there would have been quite a few possibilities going forward. I was intent on making sure that my second guess had more than one vowel so that didn’t happen. It was a good call and I will try to remember it.

This is my shortest streak to date, just 3. It is also my third fail this month. :(

I could have got it in three but I went with a couple more common words for my 3rd and 4th guesses. I don’t think this one got quite as many people as PARER but it looks like it got a number of people.

I’m not sure what exactly moved me to make CHAOS my second guess but it made a huge difference. Originally I was thinking maybe a word that ended with ST and began with CH but when I tried to think of one the first one that occurred to me was CHAOS. That was a lucky guess. I suppose the right answer could also have been CRASS but that didn’t occur to me until just now.

This is my first fail this month and my fifth overall. I reversed the U and N and had two green tiles on the second guess and still couldn’t get it. I think that GAUNT and JAUNT were good guesses. I just forgot about TAUNT as a possible answer.

My first 6 this month. I could have blown it. It would have been my second fail this month if I had. There was at least one other option on my last guess. I knew the second letter had to be a U on my fourth try but it took me three guesses to get to the right answer. I also unconsidered trying GUNKY on the final guess.

I started with PIANO which yielded no correct letters. I was pretty sure that my second guess that would include at least one vowel in the wrong place. I was worried when I saw that there was no A-E-I-O-U in the word but I did have two of the consonants. Once I stopped panicking and got to work I figured it out fairly quickly.
