⬛️🟨⬛️⬛️⬛️ HURLY
⬛️⬛️🟨🟨⬛️ SPOUT
⬛️🟩🟩🟩🟩 MOUND
⬛️🟩🟩🟩🟩 FOUND
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 WOUND

Time 3:30

I saw three possible answers after my third guess. I decided to go for it rather than switch to Plan B. I would been happier if I had FOUND the answer with my fourth guess but it all worked out in the end. I got lucky enough.

I checked after the fact and FOUND that MOUND has not previously been the answer. The same is not true about my fourth guess.

🟩⬛️🟩⬛️⬛️ SHAPE
🟩🟩🟩⬛️⬛️ STAIR
⬛️🟨🟨🟨⬛️ FACTY
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 STACK

Time 9:30

I spent most of my time on my fourth guess. The first word I thought of after my third guess was STACK but then I also thought of STAFF and STAGY. I got a little nervous after that and wondered if there weren’t other possible words out there. I decided to go with Plan B but it took me a while to come up with a word that used letters from all three possible answers that had occurred to me.

I checked after the the STACK and STAGY had not been the answer in the past but STAFF has.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.1.3. This is the 18th consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 1.1.3. I have started at least one game with 1.1.3 in 43 of the past 44 months.

I think that there were quite a few possible words I could have chosen for my fourth guess but LOVER was the first one that came to mind. I got lucky.

Time 2:30

I got lucky.

This is the only the second time that I’ve gone from two yellow to two green to five green. The other time this happened was on 05/02/23, although the arrangement of the yellow and green letters in my first two guesses was different in that game.

🟩🟩⬛️🟨🟩 REPLY
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 RELAY

Time 0:30

Sometimes I get very lucky. This was one of those games.

This is the second time that I have started a game with 3.1.1. This is the second time that I have started a game with 3.1.1 and finished it in 2 guesses. The previous time this happened was on 03/13/25, during my 15th winning streak.

This is the 14th time that I have had just one black letter on my first guess. I finished eight of those games in 2 guesses, one in 3 guesses, four in 4 guesses, and one of them took me 6 guesses. The one that me 6 guesses is the one and only time I started with 4 green letters and one black letter. That happened almost exactly one year ago today on 10/05/24

Time 19:25

It took me a good long while to get from my fourth guess to my sixth one. I almost tried SPAMS (out of desperation) but then realized what I was overlooking.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and successfully finished it in 6 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and successfully finished it in 6 guesses in 26 of the past 44 months.

Almost half (17/35) of the games that I have started with 0.1.4 and successfully finished in 6 guesses were part of either my eighth winning streak (213 games) or my tenth winning streak (443 games).

This is the second time in the past six days that it has taken me over 15 minutes to finish a game.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SPOIL

Time 1:30

I got very lucky with my third guess although honestly I’m not sure how many possible answers there were at that point. SPOIL was the first word that came to mind and it seemed like a reasonable guess.
