Wordle 1077

⬛️🟨🟨⬛️⬛️ USHER
🟨🟩🟨⬛️⬛️ SHOGI
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 CHAOS

Time: 5-6 minutes

I spent most of my time on my third guess.

This game ends my current streak of games that I finished in 4 guesses at 7 games.

This is the tenth consecutive game that I have finished in 3 or 4 guesses. This is the second time I have finished 10 consecutive games in 3 or 4 guesses. The other time I finished 10 consecutive games in 3 or 4 guesses was in late Mar to early Apr 2023.

Games played: 829
Winning streak: 388

This the final game of the month. Here are some stats. 

My average score for May was 4.23 which isn’t a record for me but it is up there. I only finished 4 games in 3 guesses in May. This ties a record low for me which I also achieved in Jan 2023.

At one point it looked like I might set a new monthly record for the number of games that I started with 0.2.3. Eight of the first 14 games this month began with 0.2.3 but in the end I started 9 games with 0.2.3 in May. This ties the record that I first set in Sep 2022 and have now achieved 5 more times since then.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 GUMMY

Time: 3-4 minutes

GUMMY was the only possible solution that came to mind after my third guess.

This is the tenth time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4. This is the seventh consecutive month in which I have started at least 10 games with 0.1.4. I have started at least 10 games with 0.1.4 in 17 of the past 27 months.

This is the seventh consecutive game that I have finished in 4 guesses. This is the second time that I have finished 7 consecutive games in 4 guesses. The other time this happened was in Jan 2024.

⬛️⬛️⬛️🟩🟩 MURAL
⬛️⬛️⬛️🟩🟩 TONAL
🟩⬛️⬛️🟩🟩 PEDAL
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 PAPAL

Time: 5 minutes

I thought about PAPAL for probably at least a minute before playing it. It is such a specific word plus it has just three different letters.

This is the third time this month that I have started a game with 2.0.3. This ties my personal record for the most number of games started with 2.0.3 in a month. The other time I started 3 games with 2.0.3 in a single month was in Jan 2023. 

This is the 18th time I have started a game with 2.0.3 during my current winning streak. That’s twice the number of times that I started a game with 2.0.3 during my eighth winning streak (213 games).

This is the eighth time that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 4 guesses. This is the fifth time during my current winning streak that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 4 guesses. 

This is the fifth 0Y game that I have started with 2.0.3 and finished in 4 guesses. Four of the five 0Y games that I have started with 2.0.3 and finished in 4 guesses have happened during my current winning streak.

I made a silly mistake with my second guess but I made up for it in a big way with my third guess.

This is the first time this month and eighth time overall that I have started a 5G game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 4 guesses. 

This is the 25th 5G game during my current winning streak. This is the 5th 5G game during my current winning streak that I started with 0.1.4 and finished in 4 guesses.

⬛️🟨⬛️⬛️⬛️ LITER
⬛️🟨⬛️🟨⬛️ CHAIN
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SWISH

Time: 4-5 minutes

I could have finished this game faster. I thought of SWISH soon after my second guess. I hesitated on trying it because one of the letters is repeated. After a few minutes of thinking about it and unsuccessfully trying to come with another word which had five different letters I decided to give it a try.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 3 guesses. This is the 23rd consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it is 3 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 3 guesses in 26 of the past 27 months. 

This is the 35th time during my current winning streak that I have started a game with with 0.1.4 and finished it in 3 guesses. That’s two and a half times the number of games (14) that I started with 0.1.4 and finished in 3 guesses during my eighth winning streak (213 games).

This is my first 5G game this month. This is the tenth consecutive month that I have had at least one 5G game. I have had at least one 5G game in 24 of the past 27 months.

Time: 5-6 minutes

I spent most of my time on my fourth guess.

This is the fifth consecutive game that I have finished in 5 guesses. This is the second time I have finished five consecutive games in 5 guesses. I have never had a streak of games that I finished in 5 guesses last longer than this one. The other time I finished five consecutive games in 5 guesses was in early July 2022. 

The balance between the number of games that I have finished in less than 4 guesses and ones that I finished in more than 4 guesses is dead even for the first time since early March. In the past the balance has been as high as 15 games in favor of games that I finished in more than 4 guesses and 9 games in favor of games that I finished in under 4 guesses. 

This is the 70th time that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 5 guesses. Half of the games (35/70) that I have started with 0.1.4 and finished in 5 guesses have occurred during my current winning streak.

⬛️⬛️⬛️🟩🟩 SHYER
⬛️⬛️⬛️🟩🟩 FADER
⬛️⬛️🟨🟩🟩 LONER
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 NICER

Time: 6-7 minutes

I spent most of of my time on my fifth guess. There were at least four possible answers after my fourth guess. The other three were NEVER, NEWER, and INKER. I considered executing Plan B but chose not to. In retrospect I probably should have tried either NEVER or NEWER as my fifth guess because if NICER had not been the answer and the N was the first letter then I would have still had two possible answers.

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 the seventh time that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 5 guesses. This is the third time during my current winning streak that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 5 guesses.

I also started three games with 2.0.3 that I finished in 5 guesses during my eighth winning streak (213 games). The third time that I started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 5 guesses during my eighth winning streak was my 125th game of that streak.

Time: 3-4 minutes

I’m pretty sure that there was just one possible answer after my fourth guess.

I have finished 80 games in 5 guesses and 160 games in 4 guesses during my current streak. Overall the ratio of games I have finished in 5 guesses (173) to ones I have finished in 4 guesses (331) is slightly higher than it is for my current streak.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 5 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.0.5 that I finished in 5 guesses in 16 of the past 27 months.

I have started 22 games with 0.0.5 that I have finished in 5 guesses. I have started 44 games with 0.0.5 that I finished in 4 guesses. I have stared 11 games with 0.0.5 that I finished in 3 guesses and 11 games with 0.0.5 that I finished in 6 guesses.

Games played: 816

This being the 375th game of my current winning streak, here are some stats.

My average number of guesses per game for my last 25 games is considerably higher than it is for the last 100 games, my current winning streak, or overall. It is also much higher than it was for my last 25 games when my winning streak reached 350 games.

Time: 2-3 minutes

This game ends my streak of games that I started with either three of four black letters at 19. It is my longest streak of games that I have started with either 3 or 4 black letters.

My streak of games that I have started with three or more black letters is up to 23 games. I have a ways to go to meet or beat my current record for number of consecutive games that start with 3 or more black letters which currently stands at 41 games. 

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5. This is the 15th consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.0.5. I have started at least one game with 0.0.5 in 25 of the past 27 months.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 4 guesses.

I spent most of my time on my fourth guess.

The first word that occurred to me after my third guess was OUTER but then I started to see all sorts of other possible answers. I decided that the prudent thing to do was execute plan B, hence FONDU. Other possible answers I saw were OFFER, ODDER, OWNER, OTTER.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 5 guesses.

This is the 16th consecutive game where my first guess has contained either 3 or 4 black letters. This is now my longest streak of games that begin with a guess that contains either 3 or 4 black letters. It seems odd to me that my record isn’t higher than 16 considering that a little over 77 percent of the first words that I have played contain either 3 or 4 black letters.

This is the 160th time that I have started a game with 0.2.3. I have finished 25 percent (40/160) of the games I have started with 0.2.3 in 3 guesses. Just over half (21/40) of the games that I have started with 0.2.3 and finished in 3 guesses have occurred during my current winning streak.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 MEDIA

Time: 21-22 minutes

This is the first time since November that it has taken me more than 15 minutes to finish a game. 

I didn’t spend enough time on my third guess. If I had spent a little more time then maybe I would have noticed that A was also the third letter of my second guess.

I spent most of my time on my fourth guess. I knew that MEDAL couldn’t be the answer but I was having trouble finding a word that fit and that was my best guess at that point. It turned out to be a very helpful guess. I also considered trying PEDAL but I though of MEDAL first.

This is my 15th consecutive game in which I have had 3 or 4 black letters in my first guess. This is the third time this has happened. I have never had a longer streak of games that started with 3 or 4 black letters in my first guess.

I’m ten days into the month and half of my games have started with 0.2.3. I seriously doubt that this trend will continue over the rest of the month. Over the course of my current winning streak (excluding this month’s games) I have started about 20 percent (73/357) of my games with 0.2.3. I have never (before or during my current streak) started more than 9 games with 0.2.3 in a calendar month.

⬛️🟩⬛️⬛️🟩 MEANY
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 JERKY

Time: 3-4 minutes

I considered making my second guess a word that had EE as the second and third letters but felt that a better approach was to try a word that had consonants for the three missing letters. JERKY was the first word that came to mind that fit and that sounded like a real word.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 2.0.3. This is the 13th 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 20 of the past 27 months.

This is the fourth time that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 2 guesses. Two of the four times that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 2 guesses have happened during my current winning streak. The other two times it happened were during my eighth winning streak (213 games). The second time it happened during my eighth winning streak was my 109th game of that streak.

This is my first 0Y game this month. This is the second consecutive month that I have had at least one 0Y game. I have had at least one 0Y game in 25 of the past 27 months.

This is the 18th time that I have started a 0Y game with 2.0.3. Half (9/18) of the 0Y games that I have started with 2.0.3 have occurred during my current streak.

My current streak began on May 10, 2023. It has now lasted exactly 12 months. I started this 12 month stretch with a 5G game and have finished it with a 0Y game. I have no idea how much longer my current winning streak will last or how many more 5G or 0Y games I will have in the days, weeks, months, and (possibly) years ahead. Here are some stats.

I spent a fair amount of time on my third and fourth guesses but I’m not sure which I spent the most time on. After my third guess I was thinking that the third letter must be a consonant. I was wrong but it took me more than a couple minutes to come around and see that I was wrong on that count.

This is the fourth time this month that I have started a game with 0.2.3. This is the fourth time this month that I have finished a game in 4 guesses. This is the second time this month that I have started a game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 4 guesses.

Looking back on this game I can see that my first couple guesses helped to eliminate quite a few possible answers.

After my third guess I considered playing SHAVE but I thought of SHAKE first so I went with that for my fourth guess.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.0.4. This is the sixth consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 1.0.4. I have started at least one game with 1.0.4 in 26 of the past 27 months.

I spent most of my time on my third guess. My first thought (after my second guess) was that the first letter was probably E but it took me a few minutes to find a word that fit. EBONY was the first and only word I came up with that fit.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 3 guesses.
