🟨⬛️🟩⬛️⬛️ THRUM

🟨🟨🟩🟨⬛️ STRIP

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 FIRST

Time 0:55

That was surprisingly easy. My second guess, according to the bot, narrowed down the possible answers to just one word. My third guess came to mind right away but I hesitated for 5 to 10 seconds, before trying it, as I checked to see if I could think of any other words that fit.

This is the FIRST repeat answer this month and the second time that FIRST has been the answer. The FIRST time was in Aug 2021, before I started playing. This is the eighth time that FIRST has been one of my guesses.

This is the FIRST time this month that I have started a game with 1.1.3 and finished it in 3 guesses. This is the fourth consecutive month in which I have had at least one such game. I have had at least one such game in 34 of the past 57 months.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 PRATE

Time 2:55

My first guess left me, according ro the bot, with 1159 possible answers. My second guess took that down to two possibilities. I tried the one that came to mind. Honestly, I wasn’t sure that my fourth guess was a word but I wasn’t sure what else to try. It definitely isn’t what I would call a commonly used word.

So far I have finished 6 out 7 games this month in 4 guesses. Has this happened before? Yes, almost three dozen times, but this is the first time I have had it happen in the first 7 days of a calendar month.

I really took my time with today’s game. I was looking for words that felt right no me. I thought of DRECK when I was looking for my third guess but instead settled on DREAM. My second guess, according to the bot, took me from 525 possible answers down to 28 and my third narrowed it down to just one word.
