That was close but I’m pretty sure that there was just one possible answer after my fifth guess.

This is the 13th time that I have had a game in which there was more than 16 black letters. This is the fourth time this year this has happened. It happened five times in 2025 and four times prior to that. Six of the 14 times it has happened have been games that I did not complete successfully. It has only happened once in a game that didn’t go the distance.

This is the second time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and successfully finished it in 6 guesses. This is the fourth time that I have had this happen twice in a calendar month. I’ve never had it happen more than twice in a calendar month.

This is the first and only time this month that I have only found one letter from the answer in my first three guesses. This is the sixth time this year and 18th time overall that this has happened. The last time it happened was 04/24/26.

That’s it for June. My average score for June was 4.43, my third highest monthly average.

I finished ten more games in 5 or 6 guesses than I did in 1 to 3 guesses. That’s only exceeded by Jul 2025 when that count was 13 games. This is the sixth consecutive month that I have finished more games in 5 or 6 guesses than I have in 1 to 3 guesses. Prior to now I had never had this happen more that three months in a row.

I only finished two games in 3 guesses this month. That’s the fewest number of games I have ever finished in 3 guesses in a calendar month. I usually finish seven or eight games per month in 3 guesses.

I finished 90 percent (27/30) of my games this month in less than 10 minutes but none in under a minute. -Here are some more stats.

Wordle 1836

⬛️⬛️⬛️🟨🟨 NOTED
⬛️🟨🟨⬛️⬛️ PEDAL
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 CRUDE

Time 6:20

I thought about making BRIDE my third guess but I didn’t. I kept looking and instead decided to go with CRUDE.

This game ends my streak of games that I finished in 4, 5, or 6 guesses at 21 games, my longest streak of games I finished in 4, 5, or 6 guesses since I started playing this game.

This game ends my streak of games that I finished in 4 or 5 guesses at 12 games, my longest streak of games I finished in 4 or 5 guesses since I started playing this game.

This game ends my streak of games without finishing a game in 3 guesses at 21 games, my longest streak of games finishing a game in 3 guesses since I started playing this game.

This is the first time this month that I have started a 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 41 of the past 52 months.

This is my first 5G game this month that I finished in 3 guesses. I have finished at least one 5G game in 3 guesses in 30 of the past 52 months. This is the 15th time I have started a 5G game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 3 guesses.

Time 10:00

I wasn’t sure if my second or third guesses would be playable words as they are both French words but I guess they are also English words. I would have tried something else for my fourth guess but I couldn’t find anything else that fit.

This is the second time this month and 25th time overall that I have started a 0Y game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 4 guesses. This is my most common start / finish combination for 0Y games but this is just the second time that it has occurred twice in 0Y games in a calendar month.

Time 1:20

I think my third guess narrowed down the possibilities to just one word. -This is the 10th time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4. This is the 24th time that I have started at least 10 games in a month with 0.1.4.

🟨⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ THORN
⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️🟨 SPLIT p
⬛️🟨🟨🟨⬛️ DATUM
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 ACUTE

Time 4:50

I was thinking of trying a word that ended with TE for my third guess but nothing came to mind at that time. I’m not sure how many possible answers there were after my third guess. I went with the first one I found that fit.

ACUTE has been the answer once before, in Dec 2021, before I started playing. This is the third time this month and 17th time overall that the answer has been the answer once before.

This is the 19th consecutive game that I have failed to finish in 3 guesses. This is the second time that I have gone 19 consecutive days without finishing a game in 3 guesses. I have never gone longer than this without finishing a game in 3 guesses. The last time (the only other time) this happened was a little over a month ago. That streak reached its height on 05/10/26. Unlike my current streak, that streak included one game I finished in 2 guesses.

This is my second 5G game this month and the first time this month that I have finished a 5G game in 4 guesses.

This is the 10th consecutive game that I have finished in 4 or 5 guesses. This is the second time that I have finished 10 consecutive games in 4 or 5 guesses. The previous time this happened was in Mar 2026. I have never finished more than 10 consecutive games in 4 or 5 guesses.

Time 4:10

I spent most of my time on my third guess. At first I thought it should start with N.

This is the 18th consecutive game that I have successfully finished in 4, 5, or 6 guesses. This is just the third streak of this nature that I have had that has lasted at least 14 days and the second that has lasted 18 games. The first two such streaks both happened in 2023.
