Wordle 1918

⬛️⬛️🟨⬛️⬛️ VINLY
⬛️⬛️⬛️🟨⬛️ SHUNT
🟨⬛️⬛️⬛️🟩 APRON
⬛️🟨⬛️🟨🟩 BEGAN
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 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.

⬛️🟩⬛️🟨⬛️ GNASH
🟩🟩🟩⬛️⬛️ SNORT
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SNOWY

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.

⬛️🟩⬛️🟩🟨 CHUTE
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 THETA

Time 3:25

I wasn’t sure how many possible answers there were after my third guess but I didn’t overthink my fourth guess. THETA seemed like a decent guess so I went with it once it came to mind. My second guess, according to the bot, narrowed it down to 3 possible answers and my third down to just one.

Time 4:55

I spent most of my time on my second guess. There were all kinds of directions I could have gone with it. There were still (according to the bot) over 300 possible answers after my first guess but my second nartowed it down to 41 and my third to just one.

This is the first time this month and the 55th consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 4 guesses.

This is the 345th time that my next to last guess has been 4.0.1 and the 123rd time that my next to last guess has been 4.0.1 and that I have finished it in 4 guesses.

Here are some stats to celebrate making it to the 125th game of my current winning streak. This is the fifth time that I have had a winning streak last at least this long. My average score per game isn't quite as high as it was the last time I reached this point. but it isn't too far behind it. The charts below show that it was higher during the first 75 games of my current win streak that in the past 50 games.

Wordle 1914

⬛️⬛️🟨🟨🟨 CITED
🟩🟩🟨🟨🟨 DELTA
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 DEALT

Time 1:00

That went much faster than my games usually do. My first guess (according to the bot) narrowed it down to 12 possible answers and my second took it down to just one.

This is the first game this month that I have started with 0.3.2. I have started at least one game with 0.3.2 in 37 of the past 55 months but this is the last time I started a game with 0.3.2 was three months ago.

This is the first time this month and 33rd time overall that I have started a game with 0.3.2 and finished it in 3 guesses.

This is only the second time that my next to last guess has been 2.3.0. The other time this happened was 12/03/22. It took me 4 guesses to complete that game which looked nothing like this one.

This is the second time that. Have had a game that consisted of 7 green, 6 yellow, and 2 black letters. The other time this happened was 05/25/25.

Time 3:25

I got a little nervous after my second guess but I just played it safe and my strategy paid off. My third guess (according to the bot) narrowed it down to just one possibile answer.

Wordle 1912

⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ BLAZE
⬛️🟨🟨⬛️⬛️ PUSHY
⬛️⬛️⬛️🟩🟩 MINUS
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 FOCUS

Time 3:20

I also considered making USING my third guess. I’m glad I went with MINUS. It narrowed the possible answers down to just two words, according to the bot. The only other possible answer after my third guess was TORUS.

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 30th 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 51 of the past 55 months.

This is the first time this month that the answer has been a repeat. The first time that FOCUS was the answer was exactly 4.5 years ago on 03/13/22. It also took me four guesses to finish that game but aside from that it looked very different from this one.
