Time 4:40

I’m not surprised that I found one letter with my first guess. I am surprised by which letter it was. I thought for sure that if anything it would be a vowel.

Games played: 1528

Winning streak: 26

That’s it for April. I had an average score of 4.40, my second highest monthly average. It is only eclipsed by my average for Jul 2025 (4.55).

For the fourth consecutive month I had a negative +/- 4 score. This time it was -7 or seven more games that I finished in more than 4 guesses than I did in fewer than 4 guesses. All of the games I finished in fewer than 4 guesses were completed in 3 guesses.

I didn’t have any 0Y (aka field of green) games this month. That’s the fourth time that has happened in a calendar month. This month ended a streak of 25 months in which I had at least one 0Y game per month.

I had one game in which yellow occurred more frequently than either green or black (04/09/26) and one game in which there was an equal number of yellow and black letters and a lesser number of green letters (04/13/26). Neither of these happens very frequently. It was just the 30th time for the one and the 11th for the other.

I finished one game in under a minute and all my games in under 20 minutes. I finished 15 games in under 10 minutes and 15 games in 10 to 20 minutes.

Time 8:50

I thought of a couple possible answer, after my second guess, that had repeated letters but neither of them was the answer.

This is the first time this month and 23rd time overall that I have started a game with 1.1.3 and finished it in 5 guesses.

This is the sixth time that I have had one green letter on my first guess and then added one more green letter with each guess until I finish with my fifth guess. The last time this happened was 09/28/24.

Games played: 1527

Winning streak: 25

This is the 25th game of my current winning streak. This is the 11th of my 18 winning streaks to reach this point. This is my fifth consecutive winning streak to reach this point.

My average score for my current winning streak is 4.36. That’s the highest average score for the first 25 games of any winning streak that has reached this point.

I have started 20 of the 25 games in my current winning streak with either 0.0.5 or 0.1.4. I have finished 20 of the 25 games in my current winning streak in 4 or more guesses. Both totals are higher than for any previous winning streak that reached this point.

Time 11:30

I see it but I don’t believe it. I was really stumped after my fifth guess. It’s kind of funny in a way that there was an E in my first guess and three of them in the answer but I managed not to place the one in my first guess in one of the right places.

This game will probably end quite a few winning streaks. I thought it might end mine after I saw the results of my fifth guess.

Three of my first five guesses have been the answer in the past. My second, third, and sixth guesses have not been the answer in the past.

The cumulative +/- 4 is now up to 16. That is the total number of games I have finished in over 4 guesses (win or lose) is for the moment 16 higher than the number of games I have finished in under 4 guesses. This is the highest it has ever been and just the second time it has been this high. The last time it was 16 was on 10/22/22.

This is my second 14.2.14 game this month and just my sixth one overall. The previous one occurred just four days ago. They usually don’t cluster together like this. See my game from 04/23/26 for a little more on previous 14.2.14 games.

I feel as though there must have been other possible answers after my third guess but I just went with the first one I found.

This is the 10th time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5. This is the second time that I have started at least 10 games with 0.0.5 with a calendar month. The other month in which this happened was Nov 2025.

This is the 10th time this month that I have finished a game in 4 guesses. This is the 10th consecutive month that I have finished at least 10 games in 4 guesses. I have finished at least 10 games in 4 guesses in 41 of the past 50 months.

Talk about luck!

This is the 200th time that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished in 4 guesses. This start / finish combination accounts for more than 31 percent of the games I have played.

This is the 10th time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4. This is the first time since Dec 2025 that I have started at least 10 games with 0.1.4 in a calendar month. I have started at least 10 games with 0.1.4 in 24 of the past 50 months.

This is the fourth time that I have only found one letter in my first three guesses and found the answer with my fourth guess. The other three games happened on 07/24/23, 07/17/24, and 02/13/26. My next to last guess in all of those games was 1.0.4.

I spent most of my time on my fourth guess. I thought of TWEEN but then I tried to think of other words that had five different letters. I spent a few minutes of looking for alternatives before I decided to give it a try.

This is my fifth 14.2.14 game or game that consisted of 14 green, 2 yellow, and 14 black letters. It is the first such game to start with 0.0.5 or in which my next to last guess was 4.0.1.

It finally happened. I didn’t have to but I decided that it made sense to go with Plan B because I saw at least four possible answers after my third guess. I had been playing in hard mode for a couple months but I decided that enough was enough. I would rather preserve my winning streak, which I did, than lose because I was too proud to turn off hard mode.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.2.2. I have started at least one game with 1.2.2 in 33 of the past 50 months.

This is the first time this month and fifth time overall that I have started a game with 1.2.2 and finished it in 5 guesses. I have yet to lose a game that I have started with 1.2.2. I have finished less than 12.5% (6/49) of the games I have started with 1.2.2 in more than 4 guesses.

This is the fifth time that I have gone from 0.0.5 to 1.1.3 with my first two guesses to nailing it with my third guess. The four prior times this happened all occurred in either 2022 (03/11/22, 07/28/22) or 2025 (01/18/25, 03/08/25).

That was kind of scary. I really wasn’t sure about my sixth guess. For some reason it didn’t occur to me until then that the second letter might be E.

I thought about making WEAZE my sixth guess but I thought of WEAVE first so that’s what I went with.

My average for this winning streak was 4.17 guesses per game. This ties the mark set during my second winning streak (42 games). I’ve never had a higher average. -My +/- 4 factor was -17 for my 17th winning streak, considerably higher than it was for any other winning streak. It was -4 for my 16th winning streak (203 games), +6 for my eighth winning streak (213 games), and +12 for my 10th winning streak (443 games).

This is the fifth time that I have started a losing game with 0.0.5. This is the eighth time that my next to last guess in a losing game has been 3.0.2.

I started 35 games during my 17th winning streak with 0.0.5. That’s a much higher average (26.3%) than any of my other winning streaks that lasted over 100 games.
