🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 CAROM

Time 5:00

I thought of CAROM and then probably spent three minutes trying to come up with other possible answers before finally giving it a try.

Time 4:10

I’m a little surprised that this game took me over four minutes to finish considering that it probably took me less than 30 seconds to make my second guess.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 INLET

Time 4:40

I was thinking of making RELAX my fourth guess but then I thought of RELIT. I’m so glad I did.

This is the fourth game of my current winning streak. So far I have completed games in 3, 4, 5, and 6 guesses. This just the second time that I have started a winning streak in this manner. The other winning streak that started this way was my third winning streak which started in late Apr 2022.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.0.4. This is the 29th consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 1.0.4. I have started at least one game with 1.0.4 in 49 of the past 50 months.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 DENSE

Time 5:45

I thought of DENSE not long after I played my second guess but then I spent a few minutes trying to come up with another word because I did not want my third guess to have a second E. I eventually gave up and gave DENSE a try.

This is the first time this month that I have started a 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 46 of the past 50 months.

Time 1:40

On the whole this game was considerably less interesting than the two that immediately preceded it.

I was a bit worried that this game might go the distance after my second guess. My third guess calmed that fear.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 4 guesses.

I really had to work for this one. I played 22 of the 26 letters before it was over. The only letters I didn’t try were F, Q, X, and Z. This is the first time I have tried more than 21 different letters in a game.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 6 guesses. This is the 20th time I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 6 guesses.

This is the fourth time this year and the 16th time overall that I have found just one letter in my first three guesses. This is just the fourth time this has happened and that my first two guesses have been nothing but black letters.

There were more than 16 black letters in this game. This is the 13th time that I have had more than 16 black letters in a game. My game yesterday also had more than 16 black letters. This is the first time that has happened in back to back games.

SANDY ☹️

This ends my 17th winning streak, my fourth longest winning streak. I should have thought a little more and made something like SANDY my fourth guess but I became fixated on the idea that the missing letters were probably the same.

I checked and SAGGY has not been the answer in the past but SANDY has.

Winning streak: 0

My average for this winning streak was 4.17 guesses per game. This ties the mark set during my second winning streak (42 games). I’ve never had a higher average. -My +/- 4 factor was -17 for my 17th winning streak, considerably higher than it was for any other winning streak. It was -4 for my 16th winning streak (203 games), +6 for my eighth winning streak (213 games), and +12 for my 10th winning streak (443 games).

This is the fifth time that I have started a losing game with 0.0.5. This is the eighth time that my next to last guess in a losing game has been 3.0.2.

I started 35 games during my 17th winning streak with 0.0.5. That’s a much higher average (26.3%) than any of my other winning streaks that lasted over 100 games. The only other winning streak of any length that had an average over 20% was my 16th (20.2%). My averages for my eighth and 10th winning streaks were both below 12.5%.

Hopefully tomorrow will be the start of a new winning streak. Hopefully it will last at least as long as my 17th did.
