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 sixth of the seven most common start / finish combinations that I have hit this month. This is the twelfth consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 5 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 5 guesses in 30 of the past 32 months.
