🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 WEIRD

Time 12:30

WEIRD seems like an appropriate word for Halloween. 

I spent probably 10 minutes on my fourth guess. I’m not sure how many possible answers there were at that point but I had a heck of a time finding any that fit.

This is Wordle 1230 and it took me 12:30 to finish it. That's pretty WEIRD.

This is my last game for October. Here are some stats.

• My average score for the month is high but not my highest monthly average for this year.
• For the second month in a row I did not start any games with 0.3.2.
• For the second time this year I failed to successfully complete a game.

⬛️🟩⬛️🟩🟩 NAVEL

🟩⬛️⬛️🟩🟩 EXPEL

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 EASEL

Time 4:20

I was so eager to try EXPEL as my third guess that I overlooked the fact that it was missing an A. I might have finished this in three if I had not overlooked that fact.

This is the tenth time this month that I have finished a game in 4 guesses. This is the fourth consecutive month in which I have finished 10 or more games in 4 guesses. I have finished 10 or more games in 4 guesses in 26 of the past 32 months.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.1.3 and finished it in 4 guesses. I have started at least one game with 1.1.3 and finished it in 4 guesses in 21 of the past 32 months. This is the first time since May that I have started a game with 1.1.3 and finished it in 4 guesses. That is the longest I have gone between such games.

BAWDY 😞

Ugh! Thus ends my eleventh winning streak. I was just days away from catching up to my third wining streak (95 games).

I thought ADORE was a pretty good start word but I don’t ADORE this outcome. Too bad. So sad.

This is the fifth time that I have started a game with 0.2.3 and not been able to complete it successfully. This is the first time since Sep 2022 that I have started a game with 0.2.3 and not been able to complete it successfully.

This is the first time I have not finished a game successfully in October. At this point the only months which remain flawless for me are Jan, Feb, Nov, and Dec.

My first thought after my first guess was to next try a word that started with D but nothing came to mind that fit. I started to consider other possibilities and SHADY was the first word that came to mind. I don’t think that there were any other possible answers after my second guess other than my third guess.

Time 5:05

Got lucky. Almost blew it.

I mistakenly thought, after my third guess, that my fourth and fifth guesses were the only possible remaining answers.

Looking back on it now, my third guess was the only one of my first five guesses that has not been the answer in the past.

This is the third time this month and fourth time overall that I have had 20 or more green letters in a game. This is the fifth time I have had 20 or more letters of any one color in a game. See my games from 10/05/24 and 10/06/24 for more about those games.

This is the fifth time this month I have successfully finished a game in 6 guesses. This has happened three times in the past: Mar 2022, Jan 2023, Feb 2023. I have never successfully finished more than 5 games in 6 guesses in a calendar month.

This is the first time I have started a game with 1.2.2 and finished it in 6 guesses. This is just the third time (in the 34 times I have started a game with 1.2.2) that it has taken me more than 4 guesses to finish.

Time 0:45

This is the first time this month that I got just two letters (yellow or green) on my first guess and they were both consonants.

This is the 16th time that I have started a 5G game with 0.2.3. This is the fourth time during my current winning streak that I have started a 5G game with 0.2.3. I also started 4 games with 0.2.3 during my eighth (213 games) and tenth (443 games) winning streaks.

This is the 13th time that I have finished a 5G game in 2 guesses. This is the second time this month and during my current winning streak that I have finished a 5G game in 2 guesses. This is the second time that I have finished more than one 5G game in a calendar month in 2 guesses. The other time this happened was in Mar 2024. This is the second time that I have finished more than one 5G game in a single winning streak in 2 guesses. The other winning streak in which this occurred was my tenth winning streak (443 guesses).

This is the first time this month and third time overall that I have started a game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 2 guesses. Both of the previous times this happened I started with one consonant and one vowel. Both of the previous times this happened were during my tenth winning streak (443 games).

I have started at least one game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 4 guesses in 23 of the past 32 months.

This is the first time this month that I have finished a 0Y game in 4 guesses. I have finished more 0Y games in 4 guesses (27) than I have any other number of guesses.

This is the fourth time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 4 guesses. This ties my personal record for most games started with 0.0.5 and finished in 4 guesses in a calendar month. The only time this happened before was in Nov 2022.

This is the first time I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 2 guesses.

This is the sixth time during my current winning streak that I have finished a game in 2 guesses. I finished just three games in 2 guesses during my third winning streak (95 games).

This is my first 5G game this month and sixth one during my current winning streak. 

This is the 25th time that I have started a 5G game with 0.1.4. I finished all my previous 5G games that I started with 0.1.4 in 3 (16) or 4 (8) guesses. I have started at least one 5G game with 0.1.4 in 15 of the past 32 months.

This is the second time during my current winning streak that I have started a 5G game with 0.1.4. All other 5G games that started with 0.1.4 occurred during either my eighth (213 games) or my tenth (447 games) winning streaks.

This is the 12th time that I have finished a 5G game in 2 guesses. I started the other eleven 5G games that I finished in 2 guesses with 0.2.3 (2), 0.3.2 (7), or 0.4.1 (2).

That was close. I saw at least three possibilities after my fourth guess but FIBER wasn’t one of them.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.0.4. This is the eleventh 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 31 of the past 32 months.

This is the first time this month and eleventh time overall that I have started a game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 6 guesses. I also started a game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 6 guesses last month. This is the first time I have started at least one game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 6 guesses in back to back months.

This is the second time during my current winning streak that I have started a game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 6 guesses. This matches the number of times I started a game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 6 guesses during my third (95 games) and eighth (213 games) winning streaks.

I might have tried Plan B after my third guess if I had seen all these possibilities at that time.

Time 18:00

This was not easy. I played my third guess before I realized that it was missing an A. I spent most of my time on my third and fourth guesses. My fifth guess didn’t come to mind immediately after my fourth guess but it didn’t take me quite as long as my third and fourth guesses.

This is the second time this year that it has taken me more than 15 minutes to finish a game. The other game took me about 22 minutes to finish and happened on 05/10/23. I had considerably more games (18) that lasted more than 15 minutes in 2023.

2023

8 games lasted 16 to 20 minutes

4 games lasted 21 to 30 minutes

2 games lasted 31 to 40 minutes

4 games lasted 41 minutes or more

The longest game lasted 84 minutes and was the only one of these long games that I didn’t finish successfully.

1 game was finished in 3 guesses

6 games were finished in 4 guesses

3 games were finished in 5 guesses

7 games were finished in 6 guesses

1 game ended unsuccessfully

For the first time since June 2024 the cumulative count of games I have finished in 1 to 3 guesses is exactly equal to the cumulative count of the games I have finished in 5 or 6 guesses or failed to complete successfully. From early June until today the count of games finished in 1 to 3 guesses was higher. From March to June the two counts were roughly equal. Prior to March 2024 (going back to when I started playing Wordle in late Feb 2022) the count of games finished in 5 or 6 guesses or that I failed finish successfully was always higher.

02/2022 - 03/2024: 123 < 56X

03/2024 - 06/2024: 123 = 56X

06/2024 - 10/2024: 123 > 56X

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 first time this month and during my current winning streak that I have started a 5G game with 0.1.4. I have started more 5G games with 0.1.4 (24/62) than I have with any other combination of letters.

I have finished all the 5G games I started with 0.1.4 in 3 or 4 guesses. I have finished two-thirds (16/24) of the 5G games that I started with 0.1.4 in 3 guesses.

I spent most of my time on my third guess. There were other words that could have been my third guess but I wanted something that included some of the more common letters. I wasn’t really sure that MOCKY was a playable word but I tried it anyway. MOMMY came to mind fairly quickly after my third guess but I hesitated and tried to think of other words that fit before giving it a try.

In the back of my head I've been expecting a word like MOMMY or DADDY or MOMMA to come along at some point. I got lucky to the degree that my third guess included an M and also placed two of the other letters in the right place.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 4 guesses. This is the third of the seven most common start / finish combinations that I have hit this month.

A number things stick out when I look at the winning streak by itself and when I look at in comparison to the other winning streaks that have reached 75 games. Seventy-five games in my average score for my current winning streak is worse than for my other three winning streaks that reached this point. I have finished more games in 2, 5, and 6 guesses and fewer games in 3 or 4 guesses that I did in any of the other three winning streaks.

Time 3:05

This was a frustrating game but I’m glad I managed to find the answer, as I ran out of guesses. I checked after the fact: LATER has not been but LASER and LAYER have been the answer in the past.

I had 21 green letters today. I had 25 green letters yesterday. This is the first time I have had 20 or more letters of any one color on consecutive days. I’ve tripled the number of games in which I have had more than 20 green letters in a single game since the day before yesterday.

I’ve doubled the number of games (from 2 to 4) in which I have had 20 or more letters of any one color in a single game since the day before yesterday. See notes from yesterdays game for more details on the times I had 20 black letters in a single game and the other time I had 21 green letters in a game.

This is the third time that I have finished back to back games in 6 guesses.

Time 2:25

That was nuts! So close so many times. I probably should have gone with Plan B. I almost blew it but I don’t think that there were any other possibilities left by the time I got to my sixth guess. 

I checked after finishing the game and among my incorrect guesses only NINER and PINER have not been the solution in the past.

This is the first time I have had 25 letters of any one color in a game and the third time I have had 20 or more letters of any one color in a game. This is the second time that I have had 20 or more green letters in a game. The previous time this happened was on 03/28/22 when I had 21 green letters. The only other time I had 20 or more letters of a single color in a game was in the game that ended my ninth wining streak (16 games). I had 20 black letters in that game which happened on 05/09/23. The most yellow letters I have had in a game is 12 and that happened just once on 04/02/22.

This is the first time I have started a game with 4.0.1. This is the eighth time I have started a game with just one black letter. Five of the previous seven times that I have started a game with just one black letter the combination was 0.4.1. Once I have started a game with 2.2.1 and once with 1.3.1. I finished all seven of those games in 2 to 4 guesses.  

This is the second time during my current winning streak and sixth time overall that I have finished a 0Y game in 6 guesses. The only other winning streak in which I finished more than one 0Y game in 6 guesses was my third winning streak (95 games). My second winning streak (42 games) was ended by a 0Y game but that game is not included in my count of 0Y games that I finished in 6 guesses because I did not complete it successfully.

Once again, the right answer came to mind and I hesitated. This happened after my second guess. After thinking about it for about a minute I decided to give it a try.
