Wordle 1824

⬛️🟨⬛️⬛️⬛️ UNIFY
⬛️⬛️⬛️🟨🟨 SLANT
⬛️🟩🟨🟨⬛️ MONTH
🟨🟩🟨🟩⬛️ NOTED
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 TOKEN

Time 5:25

I’m pretty sure that there was only one possible answer after my fourth guess.

I usually don’t play words that sound like the past tense of another word, like NOTED, but I’m pretty sure that can also be an adjective.

This is my second 12345 game this month, third one this year, and 23rd one overall. This is the second time that I have had a 12345 game that had just eight green letters. I’ve never had a 12345 game with fewer than eight green letters.

I have tagged all my 12345 games with 12345.

Wordle 1823

🟩⬛️⬛️⬛️🟩 ASIDE
🟩⬛️⬛️⬛️🟩 ANKLE
🟩⬛️🟩⬛️🟩 AWARE
🟩⬛️🟩⬛️🟩 APACE
🟩⬛️🟩⬛️🟩 AGATE
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 AMAZE

Time 9:55

I probably should have gone with Plan B. I’m kind of incredulous that I got this one.

After my second guess I thought that maybe I should have tried AMPLE instead of ANKLE. It would have got me the M and I might have finished the game in fewer guesses.

I considered making AWARE my second guess.

I’m not sure if there were any other possible answers after my fifth guess.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 2.0.3. This is the second month in a row that I have started at least one game with 2.0.3. I have started at least one game with 2.0.3 in 38 of the past 52 months.

This is the fourth time that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and successfully finished it in 6 guesses. This is the seventh 0Y game that it has taken me 6 guesses to successfully complete. This is the second time that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and that it has been a 0Y game and that it has taken me 6 guesses to complete. The first time it happened was 07/12/22.

I have now tagged all my 0Y games that I finished successfully or unsuccessfully in 6 guesses with the 0Y-6G tag.

Wordle 1821

⬛️🟨⬛️⬛️⬛️ LIGHT
⬛️⬛️🟨⬛️🟨 CRIMP
⬛️🟨🟩🟩⬛️ VAPID
⬛️⬛️🟩🟩🟩 POPIA
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SEPIA

Time 15:15

One letter can make a big difference. If my second guess had been CRISP then I might have finished this game faster although I doubt that SEPIA would have been been my third guess under those circumstances. 

I tried quite a few words that were not in the list of playable words. I fully expected POPIA to be rejected for that reason.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 5 guesses. This the third month in a row that I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 5 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 5 guesses in 49 of the past 52 months.

⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ TRIAD
⬛️🟩⬛️⬛️⬛️ PUSHY
🟨🟩⬛️⬛️🟨 LUNGE
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 QUELL

Time 4:45

I think I got pretty lucky with both my second and third guesses. Both really helped me to nail this one down.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 4 guesses. This is the 27th consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 4 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 4 guesses in 48 of the past 52 guesses.

⬛️🟨⬛️⬛️⬛️ MANLY
⬛️⬛️🟨🟨⬛️ SHARP
🟩🟩🟩🟩⬛️ BREAD
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 BREAK

Time 3:25

I could have had this one in three. That would have made it a 5G game but then I thought of BREAD and it seemed like a better guess at that point in the game. Oops?

This is the second time that BREAK has been the answer. The first time it was the answer was in Dec 2021, before I started to play. It is the 16th word to have been the answer twice.

I have no idea how many other possible answers there were after my third guess. I went with the first one that came to mind.
