Time 1:40

On the whole this game was considerably less interesting than the two that immediately preceded it.

I was a bit worried that this game might go the distance after my second guess. My third guess calmed that fear.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 4 guesses. This is the 25th consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 4 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 4 guesses in 46 of the past 50 months.

I really had to work for this one. I played 22 of the 26 letters before it was over. The only letters I didn’t try were F, Q, X, and Z. This is the first time I have tried more than 21 different letters in a game.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 6 guesses. This is the 20th time I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 6 guesses.

This is the fourth time this year and the 16th time overall that I have found just one letter in my first three guesses. This is just the fourth time this has happened and that my first two guesses have been nothing but black letters.

There were more than 16 black letters in this game. This is the 13th time that I have had more than 16 black letters in a game. My game yesterday also had more than 16 black letters. This is the first time that has happened in back to back games.

SANDY ☹️

This ends my 17th winning streak, my fourth longest winning streak. I should have thought a little more and made something like SANDY my fourth guess but I became fixated on the idea that the missing letters were probably the same.

I checked and SAGGY has not been the answer in the past but SANDY has.

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. The only other winning streak of any length that had an average over 20% was my 16th (20.2%). My averages for my eighth and 10th winning streaks were both below 12.5%.

Hopefully tomorrow will be the start of a new winning streak. Hopefully it will last at least as long as my 17th did.

⬛️⬛️🟨🟨🟨 BLING
🟨🟩🟨⬛️⬛️ NIGHT
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SINGE

Time 2:10

I almost made TINGE my second guess but then I thought of NIGHT and decided to go that route instead.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.3.2. I have started at least one game with 0.3.2 in 34 of the past 50 months.

This is the third time during my current winning streak that I have started a game with 0.3.2. This is the first time during my current winning streak that I have started a game with 0.3.2 and finished it in 3 guesses.

I didn’t notice that I placed E in the same place in my fourth guess as I did in my second until after I had played my fourth guess.

My fourth and fifth guesses came to me pretty quickly after my third guess but I was afraid that I was overlooking other possibilities so I spent some time unsuccessfully trying to come up with other possible answers.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4. This is the 50th consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.1.4.

This is the first time this month I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 5 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 5 guesses in 47 of the past 50 months.

That’s it for March. Here are some stats. My average score for March was 4.19. This isn’t as high as the last couple months but it’s still much higher than my overall average of 4.04. I avoided having a third consecutive month in which my average score was 4.20 or higher but only by a hair. Maybe it was the one game I finished in 2 guesses that helped me to avoid the shame of making it three months in a row.

Twice this month I started a game with 0.2.3 and successfully finished it in 6 guesses. This is just the third time that has happened more than once in a calendar month. It has never happened more than twice in a calendar month.

I started five games with 0.1.4 this month. This isn’t the first time I’ve started only five games with 0.1.4 in a calendar month but I’ve never started fewer than five with 0.1.4 and this has only happened twice before. The two prior months in which I started only five games with 0.1.4 were Jun 2022 and Apr 2023.

I finished four of the five games I started with 0.1.4 in four guesses and one in six guessses. For the first time, since I started playing Wordle, I went a whole calendar month without starting a game with 0.1.4 and finishing in either 3 or 5 guesses.

I started nine games with 0.0.5. This just the second time that I have started more than eight games with 0.0.5 in a calendar month. The previous time this happened was in Nov 2025 when I started 12 games with 0.0.5.

I started more games this month with 0.0.5 and 0.2.3 than I did with 0.1.4. This is just the second time that 0.1.4 has been the third most common start combination. The previous time this happened was in Apr 2023.

I did not have any games this month that started with 0.1.4 that I finished in 5 guesses. This is just the third calendar month in which this has happened. The last time this happened was in Nov 2023 and the other time this happened was in Apr 2023.

I did not have any games this month that started with 0.1.4 that I finished in 3 guesses. This is just the fourth calendar month in which this has happened. The last time this happened was in Dec 2024 and the other times this happened were in Mar 2022 and Jul 2022.

Twice this month it took me 15 to 20 minutes to finish a game. It’s happened before but not very frequently. It’s been six months since it last happened twice in a calendar month. There were three months in 2025 when it happened but none prior to 2025.
