I wasn’t sure what my first guess would get me. There were still 1519 possible answers, according to the bot, after my first guess. My second guess eliminated more than 99% of the possible answers and my third cut it down to just two words.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 5 guesses. I also had at least one game of this kind last month. This is the 40th time in the past 56 months that I have had at least one game of this kind.

This is the second time this month that it has taken me 5 guesses to finish a 0Y game. I have had two such games in a calendar month several times in the past but I’ve never gone higher than two.

This is the first and only 0Y game during my current winning streak that I have started with 0.0.5 and finished in 5 guesses. Overall it is just my eighth such game.

Time 3:40

My second and third guesses were lucky ones. My second guess narrowed down the possible answers, according to the bot, to just six words. My third narrowed it down to just one possible answer.

This is the second time that STINK has been the answer. The first time was in Jul 2021, before I started playing. This is the third answer this month that has been a repeat.

Time 8:15

I spent most of my time on my fourth guess. I had a heck of a time finding words that fit. I only came up with one other (ANDRO) but I wasn’t even sure if that was a playable word let alone a possible answer. There were just two possible answers, according to the bot, after my second guess so I guess it was wise of me to keep looking and not try ANDRO.

This is the 28th time during my current winning streak that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 4 guesses. This ties the number of times this happened during my 16th winning streak (204 games). It is only exceeded by the 66 times this happened during my 10th winning streak (443 games).

Time 12:05

There was just one possible answer, according to the bot, and yet, after my third guess but despite spending most of my time on my fourth guess I managed to choose a word that was not it. At least it helped me to see the word I overlooked.

This is the 16th time during my current winning streak that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 5 guesses. This ties the number of times that I did this during eighth winning streak (213 games) and is only exceeded by the 39 times that I did it during my 10th winning streak (443 games).

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SHADY

Time 5:35

I might have tried SHADY earlier than I did if I had thought of it before my fourth guess but it didn’t occur to me until after my fourth guess. My second guess, according to the bot, narrowed the possible answers down to 5 words. The two words that I didn’t try were SHACK and SHAKY.

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 seventh consecutive month in which this has happened at least once. This has happened at least once in 53 of the past 56 months.

I knew my first guess consisted of fairly common letters but I wasn’t expecting this to happen. There was only one possible answer after my first guess, according to the bot.

This is the second time this month and fifth time overall that I have started a game with 2.2.1. This is the first time that I have started more than one game with 2.2.1 in a calendar month or in a winning streak.

This is the second time this month and fourth time overall that I have started a game with 2.2.1 and finished it in 2 guesses. This is the first time this has happened for me more than once in a calendar month or a winning streak.

My current winning streak is now exactly 22 weeks long and started exactly 5 months ago today.

My third guess did not immediately come to mind after my second guess. I had to play with the letters a little bit before I saw what turned out to be the answer. There was only one possible answer, according to the bot, after my second guess.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 3 guesses. This is the second month in a row that I have started at least one game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 3 guesses. I have done this at least once in 37 of the past 56 months.
