🟨⬛️🟨⬛️🟨 ULCER

🟩🟨🟨⬛️⬛️ CRUSH

🟩🟩🟩⬛️⬛️ CURIO

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 CURRY

Time 4:55

I considered making CURVY my fourth guess but I thought of CURRY first and decided to go with that even though CURVY seemed like a safer bet.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.3.2. This is the third month in a row that I have started at least one game with 0.3.2. I have started at least one game with 0.3.2 in 36 of the past 52 months.

This is the first time this month and 24th time overall that I have started a game with 0.3.2 and finished it in 4 guesses.

⬛️⬛️🟩⬛️🟩 GLARE

⬛️⬛️🟩⬛️🟩 CHAFE

⬛️⬛️🟩🟨🟩 KNAVE

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 OVATE

Time 4:30

I thought about OVATE after my third guess but felt like KNAVE was the safer choice.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.1.3. This is the fourth consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 1.1.3. I have started at least one game with 1.1.3 in 50 of the past 52 months.

🟩🟩🟩⬛️⬛️ ALIGN

🟩🟩🟩⬛️⬛️ ALIVE

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 ALIBI

Time 6:25

I spent most of my time, more than 5 minutes, on my fourth guess.

ALIGN was the answer earlier this month.

This is the first time this month and 16th time overall that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 4 guesses. Ten of those 16 games were 0Y games.

⬛️🟩⬛️⬛️⬛️ CRIMP

⬛️🟩🟩⬛️⬛️ BRASH

⬛️🟩🟩⬛️⬛️ GRANT

⬛️🟩🟩⬛️🟨 FRAUD

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 DRAKE

Time 6:20

I thought about playing DRAKE as early as my third guess but chose not to until after my fourth guess. My loss? Not exactly but it wasn’t quite as impressive looking as it otherwise might have been.

A year ago, as recently as 06/23/25, I had finished 64 more games in 3 guesses than I had in 5 guesses. That was the high point for this variance. Since then it has been cut in half and now stands at 32 games.

⬛️🟨⬛️🟨🟨 BOGIE

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 EMOJI

Time 22:30

I considered making my third guess VIDEO but at that point I wanted to play a word with three consonants and two vowels. EMOJI wasn’t on my radar screen until I saw that it was a possibility. I was 4 guesses and over 22 minutes into this game at that point. Given my lack of success in finding any other word that fit, I didn’t think about it very much before giving it a try.

This is my first 5G game in over 6 weeks, 44 days to be precise. My longest streak without a 5G game lasted over 8 weeks, 59 days to be precise. This was my fourth longest streak without a 5G game.

This is my first 5G game this month. This is the 12th consecutive month that I have had at least one 5G game. I have had at least one 5G game in 47 of the past 52 months.

This is my 106th 5G game but this is just the seventh time that it has taken me 5 guesses to complete a 5G game. Six of those seven games have happened in the past 9 months. I have yet to complete a 5G game in 6 guesses.

This is the first game this month that it has taken me over 20 minutes to complete.

I have added the 5G-5G tag to all the 5G games that I have completed in 5 guesses.
