I froze after my second guess because I saw a lot of possible answers. SWOOP was one of those words. It took me a few minutes to decide which way to go.

This is my sixth winning streak to last at least 75 games. Here are some stats.

The only thing that jumps out at me about my current winning streak (when I compare it to the other five) is the average number of guesses per game.

I feel very lucky. There were probably dozens of words I could have chosen for my third guess and the first one that came to mind was the answer.

Nice! It’s been a little over a week since the last time I finished a game in 3 guesses but considering how my games went during that stretch it felt much longer.

This is the first time this month, year, and winning streak that I have started a game with 2.0.3. This is the first time since Nov 2025 that I have started a game with 2.0.3. I have started at least one game with 2.0.3 in 35 of the past 48 months.

I checked after the fact and only my first guess has been the answer in the past.

That’s it for this month. Here are some stats.

My average score for Jan was 4.39 guesses per game. That’s my third worst monthly average and the second time I’ve done quite so bad without losing any games.

I finished 11 games in 5 guesses. This is just the third time that I have finished 10 or more games in 5 guesses in a calendar month.

I finished more games in 5 guesses than I did in 4 guesses. This is just the fourth time that has happened in a calendar month.

I had one game (on 01/29/26) in which there were an equal number of yellow and black letters but a lesser number of green letters. This was just the ninth time I have seen that happen and the first time in over a year and a half that I have seen it happen. The last time it happened was on 06/29/24. The only games of a similar nature that I have seen occur less frequently are one in which there is an equal number of green, yellow, and black letters (which has only occurred 6 times in the games I have played) and ones in which yellow letters account for more than half the letters played (which has only occurred 4 times in the games I have played).

I thought about trying GUMBO as early as my third guess but for some reason I didn’t until I felt like my back was against the wall. Silly me.

I tried COBBY thinking that it would get rejected. It is the only one of my first five guesses that was not the answer in the past.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 6 guesses. This is the second month in a row that I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 6 guesses.
