I didn’t notice that I placed the O in the same place in my second guess as I did my first guess until after I played my second guess.

This is just the 15th time that yellow has occurred more frequently than either black or green but that there has not been a dominant color. This is the first time this year that this has happened. Six of the previous 14 times this happened were also 5G games.

Games played: 768

This is the last game of the month. Here are some stats and some notes about my Wordle games from March.

My average score for Mar was 3.61 which breaks my previous record for lowest average score of 3.68 which was established in Dec 2023.

I started 9 games in Mar with 0.2.3. This is the fourth time that I have started 9 games in a single month with 0.2.3. I have never started more than 9 games with 0.2.3 in a single month.

I finished 24 games in less than 5 guesses in March. This is the sixth time that I have finished 24 or more games in less than 5 guesses in a single month.

This is just the second time that I have finished more games in three guesses than I did in 4 guesses in a single month. The only other time this happened was in Oct 2022 when I finished 14 games in 3 guesses.

I started 5 games in Mar with 0.1.4 that I finished 3 guesses. This is the third time this has happened. I have never finished a month having started more than 5 games with 0.1.4 that I finished in 3 guesses.

I completed five 5G games in Mar. This is just the third time I have completed five 5G games in a single month. I have never completed more than five 5G games in a single month. 

Four of my 5G games this month were completed in 2 guesses. This is the first time I have completed more than one 5G game in 2 guesses in a single month.

This is the third time that my last game of the month has also been a 5G game. I finished all three of these games in 4 guesses. The two previous times that my last games of the month were 5G game were Jun 2023 and Oct 2023.

This is the third consecutive game that I have finished in 3 guesses. This is the sixth time that I have finished three consecutive games in 3 guesses. I have never finished more than three consecutive games in 3 guesses.

Forty-three percent (86/200) of the games that I have finished in 3 guesses have happened during my current streak, which accounts for 42.5 percent (326/767) of the total number of games I have played.

I thought for a moment, after my second guess, that this was going to be a 0Y game. It could have been but going that route might also have meant ending my winning streak.  I chose to execute Plan B because I could see that there were six possible answers. It took me a few minutes to figure out which words I should play to narrow down the possibilities without using up all my guesses.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 2.0.3. This is the eleventh consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 2.0.3. I have started at least one game with 2.0.3 in 18 of the past 25 months. 

This is the second time this month that my next to last guess has been 0.2.3. This is just the second time that has had happened more than once in a single month. The previous time it happened more than once in a single month was in Jul 2022 when it happened 4 times.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 5 guesses. This is just the sixth time that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 5 guesses.

This is the third consecutive day that I have started with 0.1.4 where the yellow letter was the third letter. I’m not sure if this is the longest streak of that sort. My longest streak of games that I started with 0.1.4 lasted 5 games and has happened just once.

This is the 50th time that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 3 guesses. A little more than half (28/50) of those games occurred during my current streak.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 HUNCH

Time: 4-5 minutes

I saw two possibilities after my fourth guess. I tried one of them. It got me closer to the right answer but that wasn’t it. I was about to try the second word when it occurred to me that there was another possible answer. I usually go with the first word that occurs to me but this was my last guess. I pondered it for probably close to a minute before I decided to go with HUNCH, the word that I didn’t think of until after my fifth guess.

I really wasn’t sure and didn’t have a HUNCH that HUNCH was the answer but I decided that there was something appropriate about HUNCH being the answer and that I would be very disappointed with myself if I went with MUNCH and it turned out that I had chosen the wrong word. Weighing in to this decision was the fact that my eighth streak (213 games) ended when I chose to play ERODE but the answer turned out to be BROKE.

I haven’t arrived at my sixth guess and seen more than one possible answer in a while. It was a little scary, especially after yesterday’s milestone game.

This game ended my streak of games that I finished in fewer than 6 guesses at 53 games. This was my second streak of games that I finished in fewer than 6 guesses that lasted 53 games. See yesterday’s notes for more about that other streak. My next longest streak of games that I finished in under 6 guesses was just 34 games in length.

This game ended my streak of games without finishing a game correctly in 6 guesses. My longest streak of games without finishing a game correctly in 6 guesses was 77 games in length. That streak of games started in Sep 2022 and included three games where I used all 6 guesses but didn’t get the right answer. It ended with the other streak of 53 games that I finished in fewer than 6 guesses.

This is the second time that I have finished the first 5 games of the month each in a different number of guesses. The last and only other time this happened was in Jan 2023.

This is the 17th game this streak that I have finished in 6 guesses. I finished 17 games in 6 guesses during my eighth streak (213 games). The 17th time I finished a game in 6 guesses during my eighth streak was my 210th game of that streak.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 6 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 6 guesses in 16 of the past 25 months. Six of the 24 games that I have started with 0.1.4 and finished in 6 guesses have occurred during my current streak.

This is the fifth time during my current streak that I have finished a 5G game in 2 guesses. Prior to this streak I had only finished three 5G games in 2 guesses. My current streak is the only one in which I have finished more than one 5G game in 2 guesses.

This game ends a streak I had going of finishing games in 3 to 5 guesses. The streak was up to 24 games. My longest streak of this sort lasted 49 games. 

This is the 53rd consecutive game that I have finished in under 6 guesses. This is just the second time that I have gone this many games without taking more than 5 guesses to finish a game. The other time this happened was the first 53 games of my eighth streak.

After my third guess I didn’t think I was going to finish this game in 4 guesses. I spent probably more than 10 minutes on my fourth guess. It took me a few minutes to decide that my fourth guess should probably begin with either AR or UR but then it still took me several minutes to find a word that fit. I’m not sure what other possible answers there were after my third guess.
