I thought of DRAMA after my second guess but I wasn’t ready to make my third guess a word that had just four different letters.

For a split second there I was concerned that I might have to turn off hard mode to give myself a fighting chance.

This is the first time this month, second time during my current winning streak, and 21st time overall that I have started a game with 2.1.2.

This is the first time this month, second time during my current winning streak and ninth time overall that I have started a game with 2.1.2 and finished it in 2 guesses. My eleventh winning streak (73 games) is my only other winning streak is which I saw this happen more than once.

This is the first time I have finished a game in 2 guesses in a little over 2 months, since 01/12/26 to be precise.

This is the first time that I have finished a game in under a minute since 12/23/25 which was also the last time that I started a game with 2.1.2 and finished it in 2 guesses.

I’m not sure how I could have played this one smarter. My fourth guess is the only one of my first five that has not been the answer in the past. I’m very glad I found the answer before I ran out of guesses.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.1.3. I did not start any games with 1.1.3 last month. I have started at least one game with 1.1.3 in 47 of the past 49 months.

This is the first time this month and sixth time overall that I have started a game with 1.1.3 and successfully finished it in 6 guesses. Two of those six games happened during my current winning streak. Twice in the past I have started a game with 1.1.3 and unsuccessfully finished it in 6 guesses.

Crazy!

This is the 48th time that I have finished a 5G game in 3 guesses, the 24th time that I have started a 5G game with 0.2.3, and the 14th time that I have started a 5G game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 3 guesses.

This is the sixth time that I have had a 5G game in which I went from 0.2.3 to 0.4.1 to 5.0.0. None of the other such games looked identical to this one in terms of the arrangement of the colors.

Time 8:00

I considered making my third guess a word that ended with LL but at that I point I preferred to play something that didn’t repeat any letters.

Three of my first four guesses have been the answer in the past. The only one that has not is my second guess.

I spent most of my time on my third guess. I would have preferred to make it a word that ended in Y and only had one vowel but I couldn’t come up with any that fit that criteria.

This is the 19th time that I have started a game with nothing but black letters in my first two guesses and the 15th time that I have found just one letter in my first three guesses but it is only the third time that both things have occurred in the same game. The other two times this happened were 06/08/24 and 04/19/25.

Another fast one.

I found 2 consonants with my first guess today, as I did yesterday. This is the 14th time that this has happened on consecutive days. I’ve never had it happen more than two days in a row.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 3 guesses. This is the fourth consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 3 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 3 guesses in 39 of the past 49 games.

This is the fourth time that it has taken me 3 guesses to finish a game and that it has consisted of 7 green, 4 yellow, and 4 black letters. All three prior games took place in 2023. Only my first game of this kind (see 04/26/23) also started with 0.2.3 although the exact arrangement of yellow, green, and black in my first two guesses of that game was quite different than in today’s game.
