Time 4:00

It finally happened. I didn’t have to but I decided that it made sense to go with Plan B because I saw at least four possible answers after my third guess. I had been playing in hard mode for a couple months but I decided that enough was enough. I would rather preserve my winning streak, which I did, than lose because I was too proud to turn off hard mode.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.2.2. I have started at least one game with 1.2.2 in 33 of the past 50 months.

This is the first time this month and fifth time overall that I have started a game with 1.2.2 and finished it in 5 guesses. I have yet to lose a game that I have started with 1.2.2. I have finished less than 12.5% (6/49) of the games I have started with 1.2.2 in more than 4 guesses.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 CLUMP

Time 3:10

I’m not sure how many possible answers there were after my second guess. CLUMP was the first one I stumbled across.

This is the first time this month and 26th time overall that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 3 guesses.

This is the fifth time that I have gone from 0.0.5 to 1.1.3 with my first two guesses to nailing it with my third guess. The four prior times this happened all occurred in either 2022 (03/11/22, 07/28/22) or 2025 (01/18/25, 03/08/25).

⬛️⬛️🟩⬛️🟩 ABATE

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 WEAVE

Time 11:35

That was kind of scary. I really wasn’t sure about my sixth guess. For some reason it didn’t occur to me until then that the second letter might be E.

I thought about making WEAZE my sixth guess but I thought of WEAVE first so that’s what I went with.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and successfully finished it in 6 guesses. This is the second month in a row that I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and successfully finished it in 6 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and successfully finished it in 6 guesses in 30 of the past 50 months.

This is the second time that I have successfully finished a game in 6 guesses and found less than three letters in my first 5 guesses. The previous time this happened was 03/24/26.

Time 1:45

I didn’t really think my third guess would do it. I just figured that it used some of the more common letters that I had had yet to try and would help to eliminate some or all of them.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 TOADY

Time 4:50

I wondered after my first guess if the third and fourth letters of the answer would be the same but I didn’t see the point of trying those kinds of words until it seemed like that had to be the case. After my third guess it didn’t seem like that would be the case.

Time 10:10

It took me a while to get from my third guess to my fourth guess. I tried a number of things that weren’t words in the hopes that they were. I have no idea how many other possible answers there were after my third guess.
