WAVER 🙁

Time 18:30

I had a bad feeling about this game after my second guess. I was pretty sure at that point that the fourth letter was E but that left way too many possible answers. The only way I was going to get this one was if luck was on my side and it wasn’t.

There were a lot of possible answers that occurred to me but WAVER was not one of them. Even if WAGER had been my fifth guess there’s a good chance that my sixth guess would have been WADER.

This is the sixth of my winning streak breakers to be a word that ends in ER. That’s one-third (6/18) of my winning streak breakers that ended in ER.

This is the first time that I have started a losing effort with 2.0.3.

This is my second 0Y game that ended in failure. The first one happened on 04/28/22.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 DOWDY

Time 6:25

I spent at least half my time on my fourth guess. It took me a few minutes to come up with DOWDY. It was the only word that I found that fit. Maybe there were others. I’m not sure.

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 26th 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 47 of the past 51 months.

This is the first time this month that I have had nothing but black letters in my first two guesses. This is the fourth consecutive month that I have had at least one game in which I had nothing but black letters in my first two guesses. Prior to 2026 I had never had this happen more than two months in a row.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 CLOCK

Time 2:15

I saw a few possible answers after my third guess and went with the first one that came to mind.

CLOCK has been the answer in the past. The first time it was the answer (11/26/21) predates my first game. There have now been 11 words that been the answer twice. Nine of the 11 were the answer for the first time prior to my first game.

This is the 600th time it has taken me 4 guesses to finish a game.

This a the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.1.3. This is the third month in a row that I have started at least one game with 1.1.3. I have started at least one game with 1.1.3 in 49 of the past 51 months.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.1.3 and finished it in 4 guesses. I have started at least one game with 1.1.3 and finished it in 4 guesses in 31 of the past 51 months.

I probably spent a couple minutes deciding what my second guess should be. It probably took me at least as long to come up with my fifth guess although in that case my guess was the only word that I thought of that fit.

Time 3:05

This is the first time this month and the first time since 03/18/26 that I have started a game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 4 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 4 guesses in 46 of the past 51 months.

This game ends the drought I had of games without starting a game with 0.2.3 and finishing it in 4 guesses. It lasted for 51 games. It was almost 3 weeks short of my longest stretch (70 games) without that start / finish combination. It is my third longest streak without sight of this particular start / finish combination.

This is the first time this month that I have finished a game in 4 guesses. This the furthest I have got into a month before finishing a game in 4 guesses. My previous record in this regard was the 7th of the month which happened 3 times in the past.

This is the 14th time that there have been no black letters in my next to last guess. My next to last guess in the overwhelming majority of those games (11/14) has been 3.2.0. It has been just over eight months since 09/07/25, the last time my next to last guess didn’t include any black letters.
