Wordle 1848

⬛️🟨🟨⬛️🟩 HAVEN
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 AVIAN

Time 3:55

I’m not sure that there were any other possible answers after my first guess.

The last time I finished a game in 2 guesses was on 06/06/26. I also finished that game in 3:55 and the color distribution looked exactly the same.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.2.2. This is the second month in a row that I have started at least one game with 1.2.2. I have started at least one game with 1.2.2 in 35 of the past 53 months.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.2.2 and finished it in 2 guesses. This is the second month in a row that I have started at least one game with 1.2.2 and finished it in 2 guesses. This is the 11th time that I have started a game with 1.2.2 and finished it in 2 guesses.

This is the second time during my current winning streak that I have started a game with 1.2.2 and finished it in 2 guesses. The only other winning streaks in which this has happened twice are my eighth (213 games) and my 10th winning streaks (443 games). In both of those cases the first game that I started with 1.2.2 and finished with in 2 guesses happened over 100 games into the winning streak.

This is the 15th time that I have only tried six different letters in a game. I finished all but one of those games in 2 guesses. The exception occurred on 06/27/22 and it took me 4 guesses to finish that game.

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.

⬛️⬛️🟨⬛️⬛️ PUDGY
🟨🟨⬛️⬛️⬛️ DECOR
⬛️⬛️🟨🟨🟨 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.

⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️🟨 SUCRE
⬛️🟩⬛️⬛️⬛️ WEIGH
⬛️🟩🟨⬛️⬛️ 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.

Wordle 1843

🟨⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ 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).

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.
