⬛️🟩⬛️⬛️⬛️ WELCH

⬛️🟩🟩⬛️🟩 PESTY

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 MESSY

Time 7:10

I spent most of my time on my second guess. I was looking for a word that had four consonants. I finally settled for PESTY which was more helpful than I feared it would be. It took me from 176 possible answers, according to the bot, down to just one. MESSY came to mind immediately but then I spent maybe a minute checking to see if I could find any other words that fit before finally giving it a try.

The last time I had a game like this one (no yellow, started with one green, progressed to three green, finished in three guesses) was almost exactly a year ago today on 09/25/25.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 3 guesses. This the fourth consecutive month in which this has happened at least once. I have had this happen at least once in 33 of the past 55 months.

This is my first 0Y game this month.

⬛️🟨⬛️🟨🟨 SHIFT

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 FORTH

Time 3:40

My second guess, according to the bot, eliminated about 99% of the remaining possible answers by cutting them down from 286 to 3. FORTH was the first one that came to mind which is why I made it my third guess.

This is the second time that FORTH has been the answer. The first time it was the answer was in Aug 2021, before I started playing.

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 third 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 one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 3 guesses in 50 of the past 55 months.

This game completes my monthly bingo card of my seven most common start / finish combinations. This is the second month in a row and 25th time in the past 55 months that I have achieved this feat.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 STOKE

Time 7:25

I spent most of my time on my fourth guess. It quickly became apparent to me that there was more than three possible answers remaining. I thought of a few. According to the bot there were five after my third guess but just one after my fourth guess.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 5 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.2.3 and finished it 5 guesses in 36 of the past 55 months but last month was not one of them.

Time 5:40

I spent most of my time on my second guess. There were all sorts of words i could have played. There were over 600 possible answers after my first guess, according to the bot. My second guess eliminated about 95% of those possible answers and my third got it down to just one possible answer.

This is the second time that my next to last guess has been 0.5.0. The first time it happened was 04/02/22 which was also a 5G game that I finished in 4 guesses but which had more yellow and less black than there was in my game today.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SHONE

Time 4:05

I knew my third guess couldnt be the answer and yet I tried it anyway. There were 14 possible answers, according to the bot, after my second guess. My third guess narrowed it down to just two possible answers. The word I didn’t try was SHOVE although it did occur to me as a possibile answer.

This is the 10th time this month that it has taken me 4 guesses to finish a game. This is the 15th consecutive month in which I have finished at least 10 games in 4 guesses. I have finished at least 10 games in 4 guesses in 46 of the past 55 months.

Yesterday was the 128th game of my current winning streak. Today’s game is the 128th time that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 4 guesses.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 WAKEN

Time 15:50

I thought of WAKEN a few minutes before I decided to give it a try. I had no idea how many possible answers there were at that point but given that I had only found one of the consonants I thought it made sense to play it safe and spend som3 time looking for other possible answers.

As it turns out, according to the bot, there were just three possible answers after my third guess. WAXEN was the only one of those words that I did not try.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 5 guesses. This is the sixth consecutive month that I have started at least one 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 52 of the last 55 months.

This game ends my streak of games that I had finished in 3 or 4 guesses at 12 games. My longest streak of this kind lasted 15 games. My second longest lasted 14 games and this was my third longest.

Time 4:25

I saw two possible answers after my third guess. I looked for others possible answers but I couldn’t find any. I learned after the fact that, according to the bot, my assessment was correct. I went with the first one that came to mind. The other word was SNOOP.

This is the third day in a row that I have had a GB game. That’s a game in which there is an equal number of green and black letters and a lesser number of yellow letters. I’ve had it happen twice in a row and three out of four games but this is the first time I’ve had it happen in three consecutive games.
