Time 7:00

I wasn’t sure if my second guess was a word but I decided to give it a try.

I had the possible answers narrowed down to WITTY and BITTY after my fourth guess. I considered going with Plan B, at that point, just to play it safe, but I couldn’t come up with any words that I liked that included B and W. I finally decided to try WITTY because I thought of it first.

After the fact it occurred to to me that the answer could also have been TITTY. I checked after the fact and BITTY and TITTY have not been the answer in the past. I kind of doubt that TITTY will ever be the answer.

Time 5:20

I was really starting to get nervous after my third guess and decided that I had to go with Plan B. Possible answers that occurred to me were MOMMY, BOBBY, COCKY. I decided that I needed a word that would include C, M, and B. COMFY did not occur to me at this time, otherwise I might have tried it.

This is my eighth 0Y game during my current winning streak. I also had eight 0Y games during my eleventh winning streak (93 games) and my 15th winning streak (73 games). The only winning streaks in which I had more than eight 0Y games were my two longest: my eighth winning streak (213 games, 22 0Y) and my tenth winning streak (443 games, 41 0Y).

This is the first time this month that I have started a 0Y game with 1.0.4. This is the first time this month that I have finished a 0Y game in 5 guesses.

This is my fourth 0Y game this month and so far each 0Y game has started with a different combination of letters (0.0.5, 1.0.4, 2.0.3, 3.0.2). This is just the second time that I have started at least one 0Y game with each of those four combinations of letters within a calendar month. The other month this happened was in Jan 2023.

This is the longest game of my current winning streak and only the second one of my current winning streak that took me more than 10 minutes to complete.

I finally decided to try PETTY after I couldn’t think of any other words that fit. I didn’t have a high degree of confidence that it was the answer. I was sure that there must be something else that I was overlooking.

I had a similar game on 05/28/25 in terms of the number of guesses it took me to complete the game, the distribution of the colors between the three guesses, and the amount of time but the pattern of the grid was not identical.

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 sixth consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 3 guesses.

I spent most most of my time on my last two guesses. I thought after my second guess that the second letter must be a consonant. It wasn’t until I thought of QUAIL that it occurred to me that the second letter might not be a consonant.

I checked after the fact and AVAIL was the answer on 02/18/23. It was also my fourth guess in that game but with a slightly different outcome.

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 20th consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 5 guesses.

I almost had this one in 2 guesses. I was going to make PLAID my second guess but then I remembered that it had been my second guess recently so I went with PLAIN instead. Oops?

I had a very similar looking game occur on 04/03/24. My second guess in that game was also PLAIN.

I checked after this game was over and PLAIN has not been the answer in the past.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5. This is the 28th 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 38 of the past 40 months.

This is the seventh time that I have started a game with 0.0.5, finished it in 3 guesses and that it has been a 0Y game.

This game ends the streak of games I had going without my next to last guess being 4.0.1, my most common next to last guess, at 25 games. That was the longest streak of games I have had without my next to last guess being 4.0.1 and just the third time this sort of streak has lasted over 20 games.

This is the final game of the month. My average score for May was 3.87. This is the third time in the last four months that I have finished the month with an average score below 4.00. I have achieved this feat before but I still have yet to finish three consecutive months with average scores below 4.00 or finish four out of five months with average scores below 4.00.

My overall average, since I started playing in Feb 2022 is currently 4.00. My overall average has been either 4.00 or 4.01 for over six months. The last time it was something other than 4.00 or 4.01 was on 11/13/24 when it was 4.02.

My overall average, since I started playing in Feb 2022 is currently 4.02. My overall average has been 4.02 to 4.04 for over a year. The last time it was something other than 4.02, 4.03, or 4.04 was on 02/27/24 when it was 4.05. (updated 06/06/25 when I realized that there was a problem with my Wordle spreadsheet and that it wasn't including games that I lost in the calculations)

I started more games this month with 0.2.3 (8) than I did with 0.1.4 (7). This is just the fifth time this has happened and the first time it has happened since Oct 2023.

This month is the first time that I have started a winning streak on the first of the month. All month long my stats for the month and the winning streak have been identical. Win or lose, my stats for the month and the winning streak will no longer coincide starting tomorrow.

This is the fourth time this month that I have started a game with 2.0.3. This is the first time I have started more than 3 games in a calendar month with 2.0.3.

This is the second day in a row that I have started a game with 2.0.3. This is the first time that I have started back to back games with 2.0.3.

I spent most of my time on my third guess. I thought of ALARM within a minute or two. I then spent another minute or more looking for other possible answers before finally trying it. I tried playing CLARK as my third guess before I tried ALARM but the game rejected that word as unplayable.

I like the vertical symmetry of the pattern of the colors. I’ve seen this exact pattern once and only once before, on 10/25/22.

I spent most of my time on my fourth guess. I considered going with Plan B but ultimately decided against it. I did not have a high degree of certainty that my fourth guess would be the answer but I figured that it would at least help me determine if there was an O in the answer. I’m not sure how many other possible answers there were after my third guess.

This game has a few things in common with my game from 04/12/25. That game was the last time that I started a game with 0.2.3, finished it in 4 guesses, and in which my next to last guess was 2.1.2. The answer in that game was NURSE which was my next to last guess in this game.

I had two words in mind after my second guess: LILAC and LIVID. Both seemed a bit risky because they repeated a letter. Then I thought of LINGO. Then I decided to try Plan B. I’m not LIVID with how things turned out but I kind of wish I had gone with Plan B after my second guess.

I checked after the game was over and LILAC was the answer on 07/03/22. It also took me 5 guesses to complete that game.

The pattern of the colors is identical to my game from 08/29/23 which also took me less than a minute to complete. The missing letter in my first guess was also R in my game from 01/24/24.

Both of the other two games that I started with 0.4.1 and finished in 2 guesses occurred during my 10th winning streak (443 games).

This is just the second time that both of these things have occurred in the same game. The other time this happened was on 06/08/24.

Oddly enough, I have managed to complete every game successfully that has started with all black letters in my first two guesses and every game in which I have only found one of the letters in the answer in my first three guesses.

This is the second time this month and this year that it has taken me more than 15 minutes to finish a game. This is the first time since Nov 2023 that I have had a month in which I had multiple games that lasted over 15 minutes.

I was starting to get a little bit nervous after my third guess although I was a bit relieved at that point to learn that the answer did not end with ER.

This is the twelfth time that there have been no black letters in my next to last guess. My next to last guess in nine of those twelve games has been 3.2.0. This is the second time that I have finished a game in 5 guesses and that my next to last guess has been 3.2.0. I finished the ten other games in which there were no black letters in my next to last guess in 4 guesses.

This is the sixth time during my current winning streak that I have started a game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 5 guesses. This combination of start and finish only occurred 4 times during my third winning streak (95 games) and 5 times during my eleventh winning streak (93 games).

I see it but I don’t believe it. My first thought after my second guess was to try a word that ended in Y and FOAMY was the first word that came to mind that fit.

I love the symmetry in the grid. See also my game on 02/10/25 for an identical looking grid and my games on 07/17/22 and 12/05/24 for similar but not identical looking grids.

I managed to complete every game successfully this month after three consecutive months without achieving this feat.

It doesn’t get much better than this.

This game ends my streak of games that I finished in 3, 4, or 5 guesses at 25. My personal record for such a streak is 49 games so I was only just past the halfway point towards tying that record.

This is the first time I have finished a game in 2 guesses since early January. My streak of games without finishing a game in 2 guesses was up to 68 games. I was one week shy of my personal record of 75 games without finishing a game in 2 guesses.

This is the first time I have started a game with 3.1.1.

The possible combinations that I still have yet to see on a first guess are 0.5.0, 1.4.0, 2.3.0, and 3.2.0.

I thought of MANGA and then MANGO, after my third guess, so I tried them in that order.

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 17th 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 35 of the past 37 months.

This is the 25th game of my current winning streak. Here are some statistics.

I am averaging exactly 4 guesses per game during my current winning streak.

This is the third time that I have finished all of the first 25 games in a winning streak in 3, 4, or 5 guesses. This is the third time that I have finished the same number of games in 3 guesses as I have in 5 guesses within the first 25 games of a winning streak.
