🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 WITTY

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.

I liked my third guess so much that I overlooked the fact that it was missing a P.

Time 2:45

OFFER came to mind pretty quickly after my third guess. I didn’t spend more than 30 seconds trying to come up with other possible answers. I was pretty sure at that point that the answer had to start with O.

⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️🟩 PURTY
⬛️🟩⬛️⬛️🟩 GODLY
⬛️🟩⬛️⬛️🟩 HONEY
🟩🟩🟩⬛️⬛️ COMBO
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 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 wasn’t terribly certain that my fifth guess would be the answer but it seemed like a good guess.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.1.3 and finished it in 5 guesses. This is the 17th time that I have started a game with 1.1.3 and finished it in 5 guesses.
