Wordle 1897

⬛️⬛️⬛️🟩⬛️ WAGON
⬛️⬛️⬛️🟩⬛️ TUMOR
⬛️🟩🟩🟩⬛️ SLOOP
⬛️🟩🟩🟩🟩 FLOOD
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 BLOOD

Time 6:55

My third guess narrowed down the possible answers from 13 to 2 words, according to the bot. I played them in the order they occurred to me.

This is the 200th game that I have started with 1.0.4

This is the seventh time during my current winning streak that I have started a game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 5 guesses. This ties the number of times that I had this start / finish combination during my 17th winning streak (133 games) and is only exceeded by the 14 times it happened during my 10th winning streak (443 games).

This my sixth 0Y game this month. This is just the second time that I have had six 0Y Games in a calendar month. The other time this happened was in Mar 2023. I have never had more than six 0Y games in a calendar month.

Wordle 1896

🟩⬛️⬛️🟨⬛️ THANK
🟩🟨🟨⬛️⬛️ TENOR
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 TWEEN

Time 4:00

I thought of TWEEN fairly quickly after I saw the results of my second guess but I continued to play with the letters available to me until I decided that I couldnt find anything else that fit. My first guess narrowed the possibile answers down to 13 words and my second down to just the one, according to the bot.

⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️🟩 FLIRT
⬛️⬛️🟨⬛️🟩 DOUBT
🟩🟩⬛️⬛️🟩 UNMET

Time 11:45

My third guess (according to the bot) narrowed the possibile answers down to just two words but I didn’t know or suspect that was the case until after the game was over.

This is the 10th time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4. This is the third month in a row that I have started at least 10 games with 0.1.4. I have started at least 10 games with 0.1.4 in 27 of the past 54 months.

Wordle 1894

⬛️⬛️⬛️🟨⬛️ FETCH
⬛️🟨🟨⬛️🟨 SCALP
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 CAPON

Time 1:50

My second guess narrowed down the possible answer to just five words, according to the bot. CAPON was the only one of those words that came to mind. It seemed like a good guess so I gave it 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. This is the second month in a row that I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 3 guesses. I have started at least at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 3 guesses in 49 of the past 54 months.

I have, with this game, completed my bingo card for the seven most common start / finish combinations for the first time since Feb 2026. This is the 24th time in the past 54 months that I have managed to do this.

Wordle 1893

⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ BEAUT
⬛️⬛️🟩🟩⬛️ SPICY
⬛️🟩🟩🟩🟩 FLICK
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 CLICK

Time 5:15

I spent most of my time on my third guess. I figured that the answer had to end with H or K. This suspicion was confirmed by the bot which indicated that there were five possible answers after my second guess and just one after my third guess.

CLICK was also the answer in Oct 2021, before I started playing. This is the fifth repeat answer this month and the 24th one since they started to repeat answers.

This is the second time this month and fourth time during my current winning streak that I have started a 0Y game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 4 guesses. I also had four such games during my 10th (443 games) and 16th (204 games) winning streaks. I have never had more than four such games in a winning streak.

Wordle 1892

⬛️⬛️🟨⬛️⬛️ GLUTS
⬛️🟩🟩⬛️⬛️ PUNCH
⬛️🟩🟩🟩🟩 BUNNY
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 RUNNY

Time 6:40

I spent most of my time on my third guess. I didn’t know it at the time but (according to the bot) there were just five possible answers after my second guess. I thought of FUNNY and BUNNY but hesitated on trying them because I didn’t want to play a word that only had four distinct letters. RUNNY didn’t occur to me until after my third guess.

Wordle 1891

🟩⬛️⬛️🟩⬛️ OGRES
🟩⬛️⬛️🟩🟩 OAKEN
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 OLDEN

Time 3:20

This game didn’t take me very long but at first I was really stumped as to what to play after my first guess. My first guess (according to the bot) narrowed it down to 10 possible answers. My second narrowed it down to just 2 possible answers.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 2.0.3. This is the fourth consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 2.0.3. I have started at least one game with 2.0.3 in 40 of the past 54 months.

This is the first time this month and 27th time overall that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 3 guesses. This is the second 0Y game during my current winning streak that I began with 2.0.3 and finished in 3 guesses. I had 5 such games during my 10th winning streak (443 games) but that’s the only other winning streak in which this has occurred more than once.
