⬛️🟩⬛️⬛️🟨 PRONG

🟩🟩🟩⬛️🟩 GRIFT

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 GRIST

Time 5:55

If I had thought of GRIST before I played my third guess then I probably would have made it my third guess but I didn’t. My second guess, according to the bot, eliminated more than 99% of the 898 possible answers there were after my first guess and took it down to just seven possible answers. My third guess eliminated all but one of those seven words. 

This is the 10th game this month that I have finished in 4 guesses. This is the 16th consecutive month in which I have finished at least 10 games in 4 guesses. I have finished at least 10 games in 4 guesses in 47 of the past 56 months.

This is the 15th time during my current winning streak that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 4 guesses. This ties the number of times that I did this during my 17th winning streak (133 games). It is only exceeded by the 25 times I did it during my 16th winning streak (204 games) and the 26 times i did it during my 10th winning streak (443 games).

⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️🟩 MACHO

⬛️🟩🟩🟩🟩 LINGO

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 BINGO

Time 2:40

I thought about making BINGO my second guess but then I thought of LINGO and I liked it better. My first guess, according to the bot, narrowed it down to 34 possible answers. My second guess narrowed it down to just two.

This is the third time I have started a 0Y game with 1.0.4, progressed to 4.0.1 with my second guess and completed the game with my third guess. Both of the previous times this happened were earlier in 2026.

This is the third time this year and ninth time overall that I have had 0Y games on consecutive days. I have added the C0Y tag to all 0Y games that were completed on consecutive days. 

This is the sixth time during my current winning streak that I have started a game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 3 guesses. This ties the number of times this happened during my 10th winning streak (443 games). It is only surpassed by the seven times it happened during my third winning streak (95 games) and eight times it happened during my eighth winning streak (213 games).

This is my sixth 0Y game this month. This is the third time I have had six 0Y games within a calendar month. I have never had more than 6 0Y games in a calendar month.

Time 6:45

I was a littke concerned after my second guess but my third guess helped narrow things down a bit. LUCKY narrowed it down, according to the bot, from 97 possible answers to four.

This is the 23rd time during my current winning streak that I have had a 0Y game. This surpasses the 22 times I had 0Y games during my eighth (213 games) and 16th (204 games) winning streaks. It is only surpassed by the 41 times that I had 0Y games during my 10th winning streak (443 games).

⬛️🟨🟩⬛️⬛️ ADEPT

🟨⬛️🟩⬛️🟨 SHEND

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 DRESS

Time 9:40

I spent probably north of 90% of my time on my second guess. I wasn’t ready to try a word that had just four different letters at that point. I wasn’t sure if SHEND was a word but I gave it, and a few other misfires, a try. Now that I have looked it up I seriously doubt that it was a possible solution. My first guess, according to the bot, narrowed it down to 21 possible answers. My second guess narrowed it down to just one.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.1.3 and finished it in 3 guesses. This is the third month in a row that I have done this at least once. I have done this at least once in 33 of the past 56 months.

This is the fifth time during my current winning streak that I have started a game with 1.1.3 and finished it in 3 guesses. This ties the number of times I did this during my eighth winning streak (213 games) and is only exceeded by the 12 times I did this during my 10th winning streak (443 games).

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 HOLEY

Time 4:00

I was very happy to see after my first guess that the answer would not end in ER but starting with 2.0.3 wasn’t ideal. I didn’t know it at the time but there were, according to the bot, only eight possible answers after my first guess. My second guess narrowed it down to six and my third to just one possibility.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 2.0.3. This is the sixth consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 2.0.3. I have started at least one game with 2.0.3 in 42 of the past 56 months.

This is the ninth time during my current winning streak that I have started a game with 2.0.3. This ties the number of times this happened during my eighth winning streak (213 games) and is only exceeded by the 11 times during my 16th winning streak (204 games) and the 20 times during my 10th winning streak (443 games).

This is the first time this month and 20th time overall that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 4 guesses. Five of those 20 games have happened during my current winning streak. Twelve of those 20 games have been 0Y games.

Time 3:20

I saw two possible answers after my third guess but TRILL wasn’t one of them. There were, according to the bot, four possible answers left after my third guess. TRIAD and TRICK were the other two words that might have been the answer. I thought of TRIAD but TRICK did not occur to me until after the game was over.

Time 3:55

I spent most of my time on my second guess. There were plenty of words that I could have played that ended with R but I wanted something that had an R but didn’t end with R. My first guess, according to the bot, left me with 327 possible solutions but my second narrowed it down to just one.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 3 guesses. This is the fifth consecutive month in which this has happened at least once. This has happened at least once in 34 of the past 56 months.
