Time 3:40

I didn’t realize it at the time but there was only one possible answer after my third guess, according to the bot.

This is the 10th time this month that I have finished a game in 4 guesses. This is the 14th consecutive month in which I have finished at least 10 games in 4 guesses. I have finished at least 10 games in 4 guesses in 45 of the past 54 months.

This is the third time that I have finished 10 of the first 15 games of a calendar month in 4 guesses. The previous times this has happened were in Apr 2023 and Jan 2024. The fastest I have reached this point was in Apr 2023 when my 10th game happened on the 14th of the month.

Games played: 1635

My current winning streak (19th) is now tied with my 11th winning streak at 93 games, as my sixth longest winning streak. Here’s a comparison of the two streaks at this point.

⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️🟩 LITHE

⬛️🟨⬛️⬛️🟩 COPSE

🟨⬛️🟩⬛️🟩 DRONE

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 GEODE

Time 4:30

GEODE was the only word that came to mind after my third guess but (according to the bot) there was a couple other possible solutions.

My current winning streak is now exactly 3 months long.

Today was another double palindrome day. This is the 646th game I have finished in 4 guesses and the color combo for my game as a whole is 9.2.9 (9 green, 2 yellow, 9 black).

Wordle 1881

🟨⬛️🟩⬛️⬛️ STAKE

🟩⬛️🟩🟩🟩 CLASH

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 CRASH

Time 0:50

Well, I got very lucky with my second guess. It was the first word that came to mind that fit. It seemed like a good play so I didn’t overthink it and try to find other words that fit.

This is the first time this month that I have finished a game in under a minute.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.1.3 and finished it in 3 guesses. I have started at least one game with 1.1.3 and finished it in 3 guesses in 31 of the past 54 months.

There are two numeric palindromes today. It is Wordle 1881 and this is the 404th game I have finished in 3 guesses.

Another numeric coincidence is that my current winning streak is now exactly 13 weeks long and today is Aug 13.

⬛️🟩⬛️⬛️⬛️ FILET

🟨🟩⬛️⬛️⬛️ PINCH

🟩🟩⬛️🟩🟩 WISPY

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 WIMPY

Time 2:55

I thought of WIMPY, after my second guess, but then I then I thought of WISPY and liked it a little better. I didn’t realize it at the time but (according to the bot) there were only four other possible answers after my second guess. None of those words occurred to me as possible solutions.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 4 guesses. This is the fourth consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 4 guesses.

⬛️⬛️🟩🟩🟩 OUNCE

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 FENCE

Time 3:20

My fourth guess should have been my third guess. Somehow I overlooked the fact that A had already been eliminated when choosing my third guess. I didn’t notice my mistake until after I had finished the game.

I was a bit nervous after my third guess but according to the bot there were just two possible answers at that point.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 5 guesses. This is the 12th consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 5 guesses. I have started at least one game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 5 guesses in 39 of the past 54 months.

This game ends my streak of games that I finished in less than 5 guesses at 11 games. My longest such streak lasted for 15 games.

🟨⬛️⬛️🟨⬛️ NOTCH

🟩🟩⬛️🟩⬛️ CLING

🟩🟩⬛️🟩🟩 CLANK

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 CLUNK

Time 6:30

I spent most of my time on my second guess. CLINK was one of the words I considered before settling on on CLING. Theres a pretty good chance that I still would have played CLANK before CLUNK even if CLINK had been my second guess.

This is the 10th consecutive game that I have finished in less than 5 guesses. This is the first such streak that I have had that has lasted this long this year. It is the eighth one that I have had that has lasted this long in the past 54 months.
