Wordle 1847

⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ REBUD
🟩🟨🟨⬛️⬛️ CLASH
🟩⬛️🟨🟨⬛️ COALY
🟩🟩🟨⬛️⬛️ CALIF
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 CANAL

Time 10:30

I probably spent most of my time on my third guess and yet I still mistakenly chose a word that had A in the same place as in my second guess.

CANAL did not occur to me until after my fourth guess.

This is the first time this month and this winning streak that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 5 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 5 guesses in 38 of the past 53 months.

⬛️⬛️🟨🟨🟨 SHADE
⬛️🟨🟩🟨⬛️ IDEAL
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 AMEND

Time 3:30

I was starting to get a bit nervous after my fourth guess. I wasn’t sure if AMEND was the only possible answer at that point but it seemed like a good guess.

⬛️🟩🟨⬛️⬛️ PEDAL
🟨🟩⬛️🟨⬛️ NEEDY
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 DEMON

Time 5:35

I might have made DEMON my fourth guess if it had occurred to me before then. I was focused on trying a word that ended in Y after my third guess so my brain was elsewhere.

🟨⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ DUPER
⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️🟨 BLIND
🟩🟩🟩⬛️🟩 TODAY
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 TODDY

Time 5:45

I think I spent most of my time on my second guess. It occurred to me after my second guess that the answer might end with DDY but I wasn’t interested in trying such a word at that point. TODDY didn’t occur to me until after my third guess. I think it was the only possible answer at that point.

This is the 20th time I have started a game with 0.1.4 during my current streak. That’s three times more than the 17 times I started games with 0.1.4 during my 15th streak (73 games).

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SWAMI

Time 6:15

This the 19th time during my 19th winning streak that I have started a game with 0.1.4. I have started about 36.5% of my games during my current winning streak with 0.1.4. That’s a little higher than my overall average of 31.2% for the past 4+ years.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 4 guesses. This is the 53rd consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 4 guesses.

⬛️⬛️🟨⬛️⬛️ WHILE
⬛️🟩⬛️⬛️⬛️ MISTY
⬛️🟩⬛️🟨⬛️ DIVAN
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 PIZZA

Time 18:15

Maybe if I had tried a word that included the letter P in my second or third guess then I might have finished in less than 5 guesses but I’m not so sure about that. PIZZA was the only word that I could come up with after my fourth guess that fit. I only thought about it for maybe 10-15 seconds (just in case there were any other words that fit) before giving it a try.

This is the first time this month and 53rd consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.1.4.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 5 guesses. This is the fourth consecutive month 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 50 of the past 53 months.

This is the first time this month, second time this week, and 18th time overall that I have found only one letter in the first 3 guesses. This is the second time that I have had this happen twice in 5 days. The previous time it happened twice in five days was in Apr 2025.
