Time 7:50

I spent most of my time on my fourth guess. I’m not sure why it took me so long to see that possibility. If I had thought of it when I was working on my third guess then I probably would have tried it then.

My second guess (according to the bot) narrowed things down to six possible answers. My third guess narrowed it down to just one.

Games played: 1651
Winning streak: 109

That’s it for the month of August. I finished the month with an average score of 3.77 guesses per game. This is the first time this year that my monthly average score has been less than 4 and the first time since Jun 2025 that my monthly average has been below 3.8 guesses per game.

My +/- 4 score for August was 5. That’s the first time this year that score has been positive for any one month but my overall score and my score for my current winning streak both remain negative. The last time I has a +/- 4 score of 5 or more was in Jun 2025.

I finished 16 games this month in 4 guesses. This is the sixth time that has happened. I have never finished more than 16 games in a calendar month in 4 guesses.

This is just the second month in which I have had at least five 5G games and five 0Y games. The other month in which this happened was Mar 2023, when I also had five 5G games and six 0Y games.

I had one game this month (on 08/18/26) in which yellow occurred more frequently than black or green without a majority of the letters being yellow. It was the 32nd time that has happened.

I had one 5.5.5 game (in which there was exactly five green, five yellow, and five black letters) this month (on 08/03/26). It was my seventh 5.5.5 game and the first time since May 2025 that I have had such a game.

Here are some more stats.

🟨⬛️⬛️🟩⬛️ LAGER
⬛️⬛️🟨🟩⬛️ HOLEY
⬛️⬛️🟨🟩🟩 SPIEL
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 INTEL

Time 6:20

My first thought after my third guess was that I (the letter) must be the second letter but then I (not the letter but me) had trouble thinking of any words that fit that pattern so I started looking elsewhere. That’s how I wound up choosing my fourth guess. There was one other possible solution (according to the bot) after my third guess. That word did come to mind before I thought of INTEL but I wasn’t sure if the spelling was correct and decided to keep looking.

This is the sixth time this month that I have started a game with 1.1.3. This is the third time that I have started six games with 1.1.3 in a calendar month. I have never started more than six games with 1.1.3 in a calendar month.

Time 6:55

My third guess narrowed down the possible answers from 13 to 2 words, according to the bot. I played them in the order they occurred to me.

This is the 200th game that I have started with 1.0.4

This is the seventh time during my current winning streak that I have started a game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 5 guesses. This ties the number of times that I had this start / finish combination during my 17th winning streak (133 games) and is only exceeded by the 14 times it happened during my 10th winning streak (443 games).

This my sixth 0Y game this month. This is just the second time that I have had six 0Y Games in a calendar month. The other time this happened was in Mar 2023. I have never had more than six 0Y games in a calendar month.

I thought of TWEEN fairly quickly after I saw the results of my second guess but I continued to play with the letters available to me until I decided that I couldnt find anything else that fit. My first guess narrowed the possibile answers down to 13 words and my second down to just the one, according to the bot.

This is the 10th time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4. This is the third month in a row that I have started at least 10 games with 0.1.4. I have started at least 10 games with 0.1.4 in 27 of the past 54 months.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 CAPON

Time 1:50

My second guess narrowed down the possible answer to just five words, according to the bot. CAPON was the only one of those words that came to mind. It seemed like a good guess so I gave it a try.

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 second month in a row that I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 3 guesses. I have started at least at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 3 guesses in 49 of the past 54 months.

I have, with this game, completed my bingo card for the seven most common start / finish combinations for the first time since Feb 2026. This is the 24th time in the past 54 months that I have managed to do this.

⬛️🟩🟩🟩🟩 FLICK
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 CLICK

Time 5:15

I spent most of my time on my third guess. I figured that the answer had to end with H or K. This suspicion was confirmed by the bot which indicated that there were five possible answers after my second guess and just one after my third guess.

CLICK was also the answer in Oct 2021, before I started playing. This is the fifth repeat answer this month and the 24th one since they started to repeat answers.

This is the second time this month and fourth time during my current winning streak that I have started a 0Y game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 4 guesses. I also had four such games during my 10th (443 games) and 16th (204 games) winning streaks. I have never had more than four such games in a winning streak.

Time 6:40

I spent most of my time on my third guess. I didn’t know it at the time but (according to the bot) there were just five possible answers after my second guess. I thought of FUNNY and BUNNY but hesitated on trying them because I didn’t want to play a word that only had four distinct letters. RUNNY didn’t occur to me until after my third guess.

🟩⬛️⬛️🟩🟩 OAKEN
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 OLDEN

Time 3:20

This game didn’t take me very long but at first I was really stumped as to what to play after my first guess. My first guess (according to the bot) narrowed it down to 10 possible answers. My second narrowed it down to just 2 possible answers.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 2.0.3. This is the fourth consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 2.0.3. I have started at least one game with 2.0.3 in 40 of the past 54 months.

This is the first time this month and 27th time overall that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 3 guesses. This is the second 0Y game during my current winning streak that I began with 2.0.3 and finished in 3 guesses. I had 5 such games during my 10th winning streak (443 games) but that’s the only other winning streak in which this has occurred more than once.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 PRAWN

Time 1:25

I see it but I don’t believe it. There was only one other word that came to mind after my first guess but (according to the bot) there were 19 possible answers at that point.

This is the second time this month and third time during my current winning streak that I have started a game with 1.1.3 and finished it in 2 guesses. This is the first time that this has happened more than once in a calendar month and more than twice in a winning streak.

Games played: 1642
Winning streak: 100

This is the 100th game of my current winning streak. This is my fifth winning streak to reach this point. -So far my 19th winning streak is roughly comparable to my 17th (at this point) with a few notable exceptions. I have finished more games in 4 guesses and fewer in 3 or five guesses in my 19th winning streak than I did in my 17th. I have started considerably more games with 1.0.4 and considerably fewer with 0.0.5 in my 19th winning streak than I did in my 17th.

Here are some more stats.

Wordle 1889

🟩🟩🟩⬛️⬛️ TRAWL
🟩🟩🟩⬛️⬛️ TRAMP
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 TRACE

Time 3:00

The results of my first guess looked wonderful except for the fact that I wasn’t sure how many possible answers there were left and I was playing in hard mode. I saw at least three possible answers after my second guess, two of which included the letter C so I went one of them. There were nine possible answers after my first guess (according to the bot) and eight after my second guess.

This is the first time this month, second time this year, and 13th time overall that I have started a game with 3.0.2. I have added a tag for games that begin with 3.0.2.

This is the first time this month, second time this year, and third time overall that I have started a game with 3.0.2 and finished it in 3 guesses. One of those other two games was also a 0Y game.

This is the first time that I have had a game that had 11 green and 4 black letters.

TRACE was also the solution in Dec 2023. This is the fourth game this month in which the answer was a repeat.

This game ends my streak of games in which I had three or more black letters in my first guess at 40 games. My longest streak of this nature was 43 games in length.

This is the fifth consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 5 guesses.

I was determined not to try a word that ended in ER (when working on my second and third guesses) unless I absolutely had to. Thankfully I did not and didn’t have much trouble finding other words I could play.

There were still over 125 possible solutions after my second guess (according to the bot) but my third guess narrowed it down to just one possibility.

This is the third time that I have finished 10 of the first 15 games of a calendar month in 4 guesses. The previous times this has happened were in Apr 2023 and Jan 2024. The fastest I have reached this point was in Apr 2023 when my 10th game happened on the 14th of the month.

This is the first time this month that I have finished a game in under a minute.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.1.3 and finished it in 3 guesses. I have started at least one game with 1.1.3 and finished it in 3 guesses in 31 of the past 54 months.

There are two numeric palindromes today. It is Wordle 1881 and this is the 404th game I have finished in 3 guesses.

Another numeric coincidence is that my current winning streak is now exactly 13 weeks long and today is Aug 13.

My fourth guess should have been my third guess. Somehow I overlooked the fact that A had already been eliminated when choosing my third guess. I didn’t notice my mistake until after I had finished the game.

I was a bit nervous after my third guess but according to the bot there were just two possible answers at that point.

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

So far this month I have finished all my games in less than 5 guesses. This is only the third time that I have made it a week or more into a month without finishing a game in 5 or more guesses. The two prior months in which this happened were Feb 2025 (14 days) and Sep 2025 (13 days).

I spent most of my time on my third and fourth guesses. I wasn’t crazy about my third guess but I figured that it would get me something since it had all three vowels that I had yet to play. I also considered making MOXIE my third guess. I was stumped for at least a few minutes as to what if any words were possible answers after my third guess. As it turns out there was just one possible answer left, the one I chose.

This is the first time this month that I have found two consonants with my first guess. This is is the 53rd consecutive month that I’ve had at least one such game. This is my first 5.5.5 game in which I have found two consonants with my first guess.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.2.3. This is the 54th consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.2.3.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 4 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 4 guesses in 48 of the past 54 months.

For the second day in a row I did something that I usually do at least once a month but didn’t achieve last month. Yesterday it was a 5G game and today it was the start / finish combination of 0.2.3 and 4.

I spent most of my time on my third guess. I wanted a word that has five distinct letters for my third guess. I don’t usually play words like HURLS but I was impatient and decided it was worth a go after spending so much time searching. It looks like it was a good call even though I was and still am pretty sure that it hasn’t been and won’t ever be the answer.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4. I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 in all of the past 54 months.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 4 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 4 guesses in all of the past 54 months.

This is the 15th time during my current winning streak that I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 4 guesses. My only winning streaks in which this occurred more often are the four that lasted over 100 games.

This is my first 5G game this month. I have had at least one 5G game in 48 of the past 54 months.

This is the first time this year and eighth time overall that I have had a 5G game on the first day of the month.
