🟩🟩🟩⬛️⬛️ TRAWL

🟩🟩🟩⬛️⬛️ TRAMP

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 TRACE

Time 3:00

The results of my first guess looked wonderful except for the fact that I wasn’t sure how many possible answers there were left and I was playing in hard mode. I saw at least three possible answers after my second guess, two of which included the letter C so I went one of them. There were nine possible answers after my first guess (according to the bot) and eight after my second guess.

This is the first time this month, second time this year, and 13th time overall that I have started a game with 3.0.2. I have added a tag for games that begin with 3.0.2.

This is the first time this month, second time this year, and third time overall that I have started a game with 3.0.2 and finished it in 3 guesses. One of those other two games was also a 0Y game.

This is the first time that I have had a game that had 11 green and 4 black letters.

TRACE was also the solution in Dec 2023. This is the fourth game this month in which the answer was a repeat.

This game ends my streak of games in which I had three or more black letters in my first guess at 40 games. My longest streak of this nature was 43 games in length.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 MURKY

Time 8:00

I considered making FURRY my third guess but I wisely chose not to do that. There were just two possible solutions after my third guess (according to the bot) but I didn’t know that at the time and MURKY didn’t occur to me until after my fourth guess.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 GRILL

Time 7:10

I considered making GRILL my fourth guess but BRING seemed like the smarter play.

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 fifth 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 51 of the past 54 months.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 STRIP

Time 2:20

I think I got very lucky with my second guess.

I had a similar game on 03/13/26. Even though the arrangement of the yellow and black letters in my first two guesses of that game was different, I started that game with PRINT and I finished it in 2:20.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 TRIBE

Time 2:25

I was determined not to try a word that ended in ER (when working on my second and third guesses) unless I absolutely had to. Thankfully I did not and didn’t have much trouble finding other words I could play.

There were still over 125 possible solutions after my second guess (according to the bot) but my third guess narrowed it down to just one possibility.

Winning streak: 95

My current winning streak (19th) is now tied with my 3rd winning streak at 95 games as my fifth longest winning streak. Here’s a side by side comparison of the two streaks.

Time 12:00

It took me a minute to choose my third and fourth guesses but not because I saw an abundance of possible answers. According to the bot there were nine possible answers after my second guess and just the one after my third guess.

I have finished exactly half of the games (47/94) in my current winning streak in 4 guesses. I usually finish much closer to thirty percent of my games in 4 guesses.

I didn’t realize it at the time but there was only one possible answer after my third guess, according to the bot.

This is the 10th time this month that I have finished a game in 4 guesses. This is the 14th consecutive month in which I have finished at least 10 games in 4 guesses. I have finished at least 10 games in 4 guesses in 45 of the past 54 months.

This is the third time that I have finished 10 of the first 15 games of a calendar month in 4 guesses. The previous times this has happened were in Apr 2023 and Jan 2024. The fastest I have reached this point was in Apr 2023 when my 10th game happened on the 14th of the month.
