Time 12:45

I spent a lot of time on my last two guesses, especially my fourth one. I’m not sure if there were any other possible answers after my third guess..

This is the fourth time this month that I have started a game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 4 guesses. This is the second time that I have seen this start/ finish combination occur four times in a calendar month. The last month in which it occurred four times was Jun 2023. It has never occurred more than four times for me in a calendar month.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 STUFF

Time 4:05

The first word that came to mind, believe it or not, after my first guess, was STUFF. I was reluctant to give it a try at that point. I thought about it again after my second guess but I still wasn’t ready to give it a try at that point. I was still reluctant to try it after my third guess but I decided to give it a go, despite my preference for words that have five different letters.

🟩🟩🟩⬛️🟩 COUGH

🟩🟩🟩⬛️🟩 COUTH

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 COUCH

Time 2:45

POUCH did not occur to me when I was working on my second guess but I wonder now if my second guess had been POUCH if I would have finished this one in 3 guesses. Probably not because I probably would have tried either TOUCH or VOUCH first.

This is the 10th time this month that I have finished a game in 4 guesses. This is the 11th consecutive month that I have finished at least 10 games in 4 guesses. I have finished at least 10 games in 4 guesses in 42 of the past 51 months.

This is the first 0Y game of my current winning streak. This is the 12th consecutive winning streak in which I have had at least one 0Y game. I have had at least one 0Y game in 18 of my 19 winning streaks. The only winning streak in which I did not have a 0Y game was my seventh (3 games).

I wasn’t certain that my fourth guess would be the answer but I was having trouble finding another word that fit so I gave it a try. I have no idea how many other possible solutions there were at that point.

Time 3:15

I think I got very lucky with my second and third guesses. There were plenty of other options but I chose ones that helped quite a bit. I think my fourth guess was the only possible answer at that point in the game.

🟩🟩🟩⬛️🟩 CHUNK

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 CHUCK

Time 4:20

I spent most of my time on my second guess.

This is the second time I have played CHUCK and the second time that it has been the answer. The first time was on 04/13/22. This is the 13th word to have been the answer twice.

My game from 04/13/22 was my first 0Y game. It took me 5 guesses to finish that game. My next to last guess in that game was also CHUNK.

I was pretty sure after my fourth guess that there were just two possible answers. I tried them in the order they occurred to me.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 6 guesses. This is the third month in a row that I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 6 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 6 guesses in 31 of the past 51 months.
