Time 3:00

This is my third 10.5.10 game. The two other two games both began with 0.2.3 and happened on 10/01/22 and 07/14/25.

This is the 30th time that I have started a game with 0.1.4 during my current winning streak. I also started 30 games with 0.1.4 during my third (95 games) and eleventh (93 games) winning streaks.

I spent most of my time on my third guess. I was trying to avoid, funnily enough, words that had a double L.

🟩⬛️🟩🟩🟩 BROOM

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 BLOOM

Time 5:55

I considered making BROOM my third guess right after I saw the results of my second guess. I spent a lot of time trying to come up with other possible third guesses. I don’t know why BLOOM didn’t occur to me until after I finally gave BROOM a try.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 MOOCH

Time 4:10

I thought of MOOCH as a possible answer when I was working on my second guess but I didn’t try it then because it had two Os. It seemed more likely that it could be the answer after my third guess.

This is only the fourth time that my next to last guess has been 1.0.4 and that I have finished the game in 4 guesses. The first of those games happened on 06/22/23 and was a Plan B game so it looked nothing like today’s game. The second happened on 07/24/23 and started with 0.0.5 and looked not too dissimilar from today’s game. The third happened on 07/17/24 and looked fairly similar to today’s game.

⬛️🟩⬛️⬛️⬛️ MULCH

⬛️🟩🟩🟩🟩 PURGE

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SURGE

Time 2:30

I spent most of my time on my second guess. I would say that was time well spent.

This game ended my streak of games that I finished in 4 or 5 guesses at 8 games. My longest streaks of games that I finished in 4 or 5 guesses lasted 9 games. I have had two such streaks. One ended on 11/14/23 and the other on 05/22/24.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 3 guesses. I have started at least one game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 3 guesses in 29 of the past 48 months.

⬛️🟨🟨🟨🟩 MAVEN

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 VEGAN

Time 4:40

I was thinking of making my third guess one that included C and D but the only word I could think of was CAGED. I didn’t like that word so I cast about for other words to try and landed on MAVEN.

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 23rd 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 44 of the past 48 months.

Time 1:15

Unbelievable! I’m pretty sure that my third guess narrowed down the possible answers to just the one.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 4 guesses. I have started at least one game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 4 guesses in 36 of the past 48 months.
