🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 DADDY

Time: 4-5 minutes

DADDY was the first word that occurred to me after my second guess but I decided to play it safe and try some other words first. 

This is the fourth time this month that I have started a game with 1.0.4. This is the seventh time this month that I have finished a game in 5 guesses. 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 third consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 5 guesses but there have been a number of months (10/20) when I haven’t had any games that I started with 1.0.4 and finished in 5 guesses.

Games played: 585

Winning streak: 144

That’s it for September. Ten days into the month it looked like I was on a pace to set some new personal records for games finished in 4 guesses, games started with 1.0.4, and games started with 1.0.4 and finished in 4 guesses but I fell short in all three categories. 

On the whole it wasn’t a terribly noteworthy month. I finished all my games in 6 guesses or less but nothing else really stands out about the games I played in September. My average number of guesses per game was down when compared to the last couple months but nowhere near my lowest monthly average. 

Here are some stats.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 AZURE

Time: 8-9 minutes

I wasn’t sure that my third guess was an acceptable word but I tried it anyway. Maybe I would have finished in 3 guesses if I had just thought about it a little more. 

My average score for the month remains exactly 4, with just one game to go in the month.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 COACH

Time: 2-3 minutes

I also considered playing POACH as my third guess but I went with COACH because I thought of it first. 

My monthly average is back to exactly 4 guesses per game. 

This is the second consecutive game that I have started with 1.0.4. This is the ninth time that I have started games with 1.0.4 on consecutive days. I have never started games with 1.0.4 on more than 2 consecutive days. 

This is the second time that I have had 0Y games on consecutive days. The other time this happened was on Mar 9 and Mar 10. That time it took me a combined 10 guesses to finish those games as compared to just 5 guesses this time.

It is always nice to have a game turn out like this one did. It does mean that tying my monthly record for games finished in 4 guesses is now out of reach for this month. 

This is the second time this month that I have started a game with 1.0.4 and the second time this month that I have finished a game in 2 guesses but it is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 2 guesses.

This is just the second time ever that I have started a game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 2 guesses. The only other time I started a game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 2 guesses was on Nov 9, 2022. 

This is my fourth 0Y game this month, 13th 0Y game this streak, and overall it is my 48th 0Y game. It is just the eighth time I have finished a 0Y game in 2 guesses. Six of the eight 0Y games that I finished in 2 guesses happened during my my longest streak.

Time: 4-5 minutes

I got a little nervous after my third guess but my fourth guess got me back on track. 

There are 5 days left in the month. Ten days into the month it looked like I might break my monthly record for the number of games that I finished in 4 guesses. It will only happen now if I finish all my remaining games this month in 4 guesses. 

I have a better shot at tying or setting new monthly records for the number of games that I start with 0.1.4 or the the number of games that I start with 0.1.4 and finish in 4 guesses but those only look like possibilities and not probabilities.

Believe it or not, I was going to play BRUSH as my second guess. It was the first word that occurred to me but then I thought about it for a moment and decided that the safer move was to play a word that had two vowels in it. Believe it or not!

This is the ninth time this month I have started a game with 0.1.4. This is the fifth time this month that I have finished a game in three guesses. This is the second time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 3 guesses.

I saw lots of possible answers after my third guess, at least five, with three possible letters after the S. That made me pause and think about the best way to proceed. My fourth guess was a lucky one I think. Other words I could have tried for my fourth guess: SCONE, SHONE, STOVE, SHOVE. 

This is the third time this month that I have started a game with 1.1.3. This is the ninth time this month that I have finished a game in 4 guesses. This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.1.3 and finished it in 4 guesses. The last time I started a game with 1.1.3 and finished it in 4 guesses was on Aug 18.

This is the first time this month and sixth time overall that I have started a game with 3.0.2. This is the fifth time this month that it has taken me 5 guesses to finish a game. This is the first time that I have started a game with 3.0.2 and finished it in 5 guesses. 

This is my second 0Y game this month. All six of my games that have started with 3.0.2 have been 0Y games. This is the ninth time that it has taken me 5 guesses to finish a 0Y game.

Ten days into the month I was on a pace to set new records for number of games that I started with 0.1.4 and number of games that I finished in 4 guesses. I am now twenty days into the month and those records aren’t out of reach but I am no longer on a pace to set new records or even tie the existing records for those statistics. I am still on a pace to tie the existing record for number of games that I start with 1.0.4 and finish in 4 guesses.

The first possibility that occurred to me after my first guess was DRILL but then I also thought of DWELL. I hesitated because neither word used both remaining vowels and because both had two Ls. After thinking about it for a minute or two it occurred to me that I couldn’t think of any words that fit that had both vowels and just one L so I tried both words in the order they occurred to me. 

This is the fifth consecutive month that I have started at least one game begin with 2.0.3. The last time I started a game with 2.0.3 was on Aug 4.

I was thinking of trying a word that ended in ASH for my third guess but then I thought of RAJAH and decided to go with that. I might have finished the game in 5 guesses if FLASH had been my third guess but maybe not. I think I might have wanted to try AWASH as my fourth guess if I had gone that way so maybe be I wouldn’t have finished the game any faster. I didn’t even think of GNASH until after my fifth guess.
