⬛️⬛️🟨⬛️🟨 GULCH

🟩🟩🟨🟨⬛️ SHALT

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SHOAL

Time 1:20

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.

⬛️⬛️🟩⬛️🟩 PESKY

⬛️⬛️🟩🟩🟩 LUSTY

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 HASTY

Time 1:30

Way too easy. If I had been HASTY then I might have finished this one in under a minute.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 2.0.3. This is the second month in a row that I have started at least one game with 2.0.3. I have started at least one game with 2.0.3 in 36 of the past 49 months.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 3 guesses. This is the second month in a row that I have started at least one game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 3 guesses. This is the 25th time that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 3 guesses.

This is my first 0Y game this month. This is the 24th consecutive month that I have had at least one 0Y game. I have had at least one 0Y game in 46 of the past 49 months.

According to the NYT this is my 124th Sea of Greens game. I think that SoG is the same as 0Y but my count is 135. Possibly my first 11 0Y games occurred before I got a registered account with NYT but I’m not sure because I don’t recall when that was.

🟩⬛️⬛️⬛️🟩 LUSTY

🟩🟩⬛️⬛️🟩 LORRY

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 LOBBY

Time 3:40

LORRY and LOBBY came to mind after my third guess. I played them in the order that I thought of them. 

This is the 10th consecutive game that I have finished in either 4 or 5 guesses. This is the first time I have finished at least 10 consecutive games in 4 or 5 guesses.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 5 guesses.

⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️🟨 STING

⬛️🟩🟩⬛️⬛️ FOGGY

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 VOGUE

Time 8:35

I wasn’t crazy about my third guess but it was the first word that came to mind that fit. I tried to find something else but I wasn’t looking for something that used all three of the remaining vowels at that point. Even after my third guess it probably took at least a couple minutes before VOGUE occurred to me.

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 24th 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 45 of the past 49 months.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 GUNKY

Time 5:30

I feel as though I got very lucky with my fourth guess. It did not come to mind until after my third guess.

This is the fifth time that my next to last guess has been 1.0.4 and that I have finished in 4 guesses while playing in hard mode or as if the game was set to hard mode. The four prior times this happened were 07/17/22, 07/24/23, 07/17/24, and 02/13/26.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SHEEP

Time 4:45

I almost went with SWEEP instead of SHEEP but at the last second I changed up my fourth guess. Good call in this case but doing that doesn’t always work.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4. This is the 49th consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.1.4.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 4 guesses. This is the 49th consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 4 guesses.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 THEFT

Time 3:05

I’m pretty sure there was only one possible answer by the time I got to my fifth guess.

I checked after the fact and my first four guesses have have all been the answer in the past.

This the 27th time that I have started a game with 0.0.5 during my current winning streak. That’s exactly half the number of times (54) that I started games with 0.0.5 during my longest winning streak (443) games.
