This is the sixth game this month that I have started with 0.2.3. This is the third time this month that I gave started a game with 0.2.3 and finished it in four guesses.

Games played: 402

Winning streak: 192 games

I started two games with 3.0.2 in Mar, which is a new record high for me. I have only started four games total with 3.0.2.

3.0.2 means 3 green letters, 0 yellow letters, and 2 black letters.

I started two games with 1.2.2 in Mar, which ties the high mark I also achieved in Jun and Dec 2022.

I started four games with 0.3.2 in Mar, which ties the high mark that I also reached in Dec 2022.

My average score for Mar was 3.84 which is my second lowest monthly average. This average is only surpassed by my monthly average for Oct 2022 which was 3.81.

I finished 87 percent (27/31) of my games in Mar in 3, 4, or 5 guesses. This is pretty impressive but in Oct 2022 I finished all my games in 3, 4, or 5 guesses.

I finished 3 games in Mar in two guesses which sounds impressive but I finished 4 games in two guesses in Jan 2023.

I finished one game in 6 guesses in Mar. That sounds like it might be a record but it isn’t. I didn’t finish any games in 6 guesses in Sep or Oct 2022.

I had five 5G games in Mar, which ties my record high set in Jul 2022. A 5G game is a game in which I don’t get any green letters until my final guess.

I had six 0Y games in Jan, which is a new record high. The previous record was five games and was set in Jan 2023. A 0Y game is a game in which there are no yellow letters.

Combined I had a total of eleven 5G and 0Y games, which is a new record high for me. The previous high mark was eight games which happened twice before, in Jul 2022 and Jan 2023.

This is the sixth time this month that I have had a 0Y game.

This is the eighth time that I have had a 0Y game that it took me 4 guesses to finish. All but one of those games happened during my current streak.

Roughly two-thirds (21/31) of the 0Y games that I have had happened during my current streak which accounts for less than half (190/400) of the games I have played.

Games played: 400

My average score has improved over the past 25 games, dropping from 4.10 to 4.08. My average score was at 4.07 after 350 games so there is still room for improvement.

The number of two and six guess games, in my past 25 games, is definitely working to help improve my average.

Two of the four games that have started with 3.0.2 happened in my last 25 games. I also had one game star with 1.2.2 and one start with 2.0.3 in my past 25 games. In other words, three of the 24 games that I have started with two or more green letters happened in the past 25 games.

Forty-five percent of my games, overall, have started with two or more green or yellow letters. Fifty-six percent of my past 25 games have started with two or more green or yellow letters. Presumably this also helped to improve my average score.
