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.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 COMFY

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.

I spent a lot of time on my third and fourth guesses. I thought of CURIA long before I gave it a try. I spent at least a couple minutes after I thought of it trying to come up with other words that fit. CURIO didn’t occur to me until after my fourth guess.

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.

This is the 15th consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 4 guesses.

I thought of PETTY fairly soon after my second guess but then I spent a few minutes trying to think of other possible answers. 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.

Time 5:00

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.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.2.2 and finished it in 2 guesses. This is the eighth time that I have started a game with 1.2.2 and finished it in 2 guesses.

Time 0:45

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 first time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 3 guesses. This is the 21st time that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 3 guesses. 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.

I knew, after my third guess, that the first letter had to be R and figured that the second ne had to be a vowel. It didn’t occur to me that both the second and third letters might both be vowels until I thought of REUSE.
