🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 CURSE

Time 1:30

The first word that popped into my head after my second guess was CURRY but I set that aside for obvious reasons.

I like the symmetry in the grid for today’s game, even if it is a bit cockeyed.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.1.3. This is the twelfth 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 37 of the past 38 months.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.1.3 and finished it in 3 guesses. This is the fourth consecutive month that I have started at least one 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 25 of the past 38 months.

Time 11:30

I probably spent more time on my fourth guess than I did on the others combined. I wanted to try LEVEL at that point but I didn’t because it only had three distinct letters. I thought for a minute or more after my fifth guess before JEWEL came to mind.

This is the first time that I have successfully finished a game in 6 guesses during my current winning streak. This game ends my streak of games without successfully finishing a game in 6 guesses at 59 games. This is only the third time I have had such a streak last more than 50 games.

I thought after my second guess that the second letter might also be O but I decided that I had to try R in that spot before giving OO a try.

This is the fourth consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 5 guesses.

That’s it for March. Here are some stats.

My average score for March was 3.65. This is my second lowest average for a calendar month. My lowest happened in Mar 2024 when my average score was 3.61.

I managed to complete every game successfully this month after three consecutive months without achieving this feat.

I did not successfully complete a game in six guesses for the second month in a row. This is just the second time I have done this in back-to-back months. In both cases where this has happened I have failed to complete at least one game successfully in the the first of the two months. The other time this happened was in Sep and Oct 2022.

I finished the same number of games in March in 3 guesses as I did in four guesses. This is the first time that has ever happened for me in a calendar month.

I finished at least 10 games in 3 guesses and at least 10 games in 4 guesses in March. This is the third time I have hit double digits for both 3 guess and 4 guess games. The other two times this happened were Jun 2023 and Dec 2023.
