I see it but I don’t believe it. I was really stumped after my fifth guess. It’s kind of funny in a way that there was an E in my first guess and three of them in the answer but I managed not to place the one in my first guess in one of the right places.

This game will probably end quite a few winning streaks. I thought it might end mine after I saw the results of my fifth guess.

Three of my first five guesses have been the answer in the past. My second, third, and sixth guesses have not been the answer in the past.

The cumulative +/- 4 is now up to 16. That is the total number of games I have finished in over 4 guesses (win or lose) is for the moment 16 higher than the number of games I have finished in under 4 guesses. This is the highest it has ever been and just the second time it has been this high. The last time it was 16 was on 10/22/22.

This is my second 14.2.14 game this month and just my sixth one overall. The previous one occurred just four days ago. They usually don’t cluster together like this. See my game from 04/23/26 for a little more on previous 14.2.14 games.

Time 5:10

I feel as though there must have been other possible answers after my third guess but I just went with the first one I found.

This is the 10th time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5. This is the second time that I have started at least 10 games with 0.0.5 with a calendar month. The other month in which this happened was Nov 2025.

This is the 10th time this month that I have finished a game in 4 guesses. This is the 10th consecutive month that I have finished at least 10 games in 4 guesses. I have finished at least 10 games in 4 guesses in 41 of the past 50 months.

Talk about luck!

This is the 200th time that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished in 4 guesses. This start / finish combination accounts for more than 31 percent of the games I have played.

This is the 10th time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4. This is the first time since Dec 2025 that I have started at least 10 games with 0.1.4 in a calendar month. I have started at least 10 games with 0.1.4 in 24 of the past 50 months.

This is the fourth time that I have only found one letter in my first three guesses and found the answer with my fourth guess. The other three games happened on 07/24/23, 07/17/24, and 02/13/26. My next to last guess in all of those games was 1.0.4.

Time 7:30

I spent most of my time on my fourth guess. I thought of TWEEN but then I tried to think of other words that had five different letters. I spent a few minutes of looking for alternatives before I decided to give it a try.

This is my fifth 14.2.14 game or game that consisted of 14 green, 2 yellow, and 14 black letters. It is the first such game to start with 0.0.5 or in which my next to last guess was 4.0.1.

Time 4:00

It finally happened. I didn’t have to but I decided that it made sense to go with Plan B because I saw at least four possible answers after my third guess. I had been playing in hard mode for a couple months but I decided that enough was enough. I would rather preserve my winning streak, which I did, than lose because I was too proud to turn off hard mode.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.2.2. I have started at least one game with 1.2.2 in 33 of the past 50 months.

This is the first time this month and fifth time overall that I have started a game with 1.2.2 and finished it in 5 guesses. I have yet to lose a game that I have started with 1.2.2. I have finished less than 12.5% (6/49) of the games I have started with 1.2.2 in more than 4 guesses.

🟨🟩⬛️⬛️⬛️ PLATE
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 CLUMP

Time 3:10

I’m not sure how many possible answers there were after my second guess. CLUMP was the first one I stumbled across.

This is the first time this month and 26th time overall that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 3 guesses.

This is the fifth time that I have gone from 0.0.5 to 1.1.3 with my first two guesses to nailing it with my third guess. The four prior times this happened all occurred in either 2022 (03/11/22, 07/28/22) or 2025 (01/18/25, 03/08/25).
