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.
