⬛️⬛️🟩⬛️⬛️ SLACK

🟨🟩🟩⬛️⬛️ PRAWN

🟩🟩🟩🟩⬛️ GRAPH

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 GRAPE

Time 2:25

I thought of GRAPE before I thought of GRAPH but decided to make the second one my third guess. It cost me but not too terribly much.

This was easy and relatively fast.

⬛️🟩⬛️🟩⬛️ COBRA

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 LORRY

Time 7:40

I considered making LORRY my third guess but for whatever reason didn’t want to try it at that point, probably because it had two Rs.

⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ CAMEO

⬛️⬛️🟩⬛️🟨 DRIPS

🟩⬛️🟩⬛️⬛️ STING

🟩⬛️🟩🟩🟩 SWILL

🟩⬛️🟩🟩🟩 SKILL

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SHILL

Time 9:05

SHILL probably should have been my fourth guess. I had not tried H yet. I’m not sure wh I waited as long as I did to try it.

This is the fifth time that I have finished back to back games in 6 guesses. I have never finished three games in a row in 6 guesses.

I don’t plan on making a habit of playing words like DRIPS but this time I wanted to and it did help.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and successfully finished it in 6 guesses. This is the second month in a row that I have started at least one game with 0.0.5 and successfully finished it in 6 guesses. This is the 24th time that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and successfully finished it in 6 guesses.

This is the third time during my current winning streak that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and successfully finished it in 6 guesses. My 10th winning streak (443 games) was the only one in which which this happened more times than during my current winning streak. I was 204 games into my 10th winning streak when it happened for the third time.
