🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 WIDER

Time 1:30

I was a little surprised that my first two guesses didn’t include and green or yellow letters. I got a little concerned after my third guess when I saw that the answer probably ended with ER but a quick scan made it clear that there was only one possible answer if it did end with ER. This wasn’t completely accurate, according to the bot, as my third guess narrowed down the list of possible answers from 169 to 2. The other possible answer was EIDER.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5. This is the 44th consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.0.5. I have started at least one game with 0.0.5 in 54 of the past 56 months.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 4 guesses. This is the 32nd consecutive month that this has happened. This has happened at least once in 52 of the past 56 months.

This is the first time this month that my first two guesses have yielded nothing but black letters. This is the ninth consecutive month in which this has happened at least once. This is the 26th time this has happened since nice I started to keep track of my games in Mar 2022.

⬛️🟩⬛️⬛️⬛️ POACH

🟨🟩⬛️⬛️⬛️ DOING

⬛️🟩🟩🟩🟩 MODEL

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 YODEL

Time 7:10

I think I spent most of my time on my third guess. DOING narrowed down the possible answers, according to the bot, to 21 words. My fourth guess left just one possible answer and it didn’t take me long to find it.

This is the 31st time that I have started a game with 1.0.4 during my current winning streak. This ties the number of times it happened during my eighth winning streak (213 games). It is only exceeded by the 42 times it happened during my 10th winning streak (443 games).

This is the third time this month that I have started a game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 5 guesses. This is the third time this has happened three times in a calendar month. I’ve never had it happen more than three times in a calendar month.

🟨🟨⬛️⬛️🟨 APRON

⬛️🟩⬛️🟩🟩 SNEAP

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 UNCAP

Time 16:45

I spent most of my time, probably more than 12 minutes, on my third and fourth guesses combined. I knew that APRON couldn’t be the answer but I tried it anyway. My second guess, according to the bot, narrowed it down to just two words and my third down to just one. I couldn’t see the only possible answer, despite my good luck with my second and third guesses, until I tried a playable word (for my fourth guess) that fit the pattern but was not the solution.

The other word that might have been the answer after my second guess was ASPEN.

I had no problem idea that SNEAP was a word until I tried it. I had to look it up after the fact to find out what it means.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.2.3. This is the 56th consecutive month in which I have started at least one game with 0.2.3.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 5 guesses. This is the second month in a row that I have started at least one game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 5 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 5 guesses in 37 of the past 56 months.

This is the third time that I have had a game that consisted of eight green, eight yellow, and nine black letters. The other two times this happened were on 06/22/24 and 04/18/25. All three games started with 0.2.3 but had different next to last guess combinations. The first was deep into my 10th winning streak (443 games) and the second was deep into my 15th winning streak (73 games).

Games played: 1692

Winning streak: 150

This is my fourth winning streak to last at least 150 games. My average guesses per game and my +/- 4 score are notably higher for this winning streak than for the other three winning streaks at the 150 game mark.

I started significantly more games with 1.0.4 and significantly fewer with 0.2.3 than I did in the other three winning streaks. 

I finished significantly more games in 4 guesses and significantly fewer in 3 guesses than I did in the other three winning streaks.

⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️🟩 WASHY

⬛️🟩⬛️⬛️🟩 CURLY

⬛️🟩🟩🟩🟩 JUMPY

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 BUMPY

Time 3:55

My fourth guess probably should have been BUMPY but I didn’t think of it until after I played JUMPY. There were 19 possible answers, according to the bot, after my third guess but JUMPY helped me narrow it down to one word.

This is my first 0Y game this month. This is the sixth consecutive month in which I have had at least one 0Y game. I have had at least one 0Y game in 53 of the past 56 months.

I am 10 days into this month and so far my +/- 4 score is -4. Ultimately the most important thing is that I finish these games successfully but I thought my luck had turned in terms of the number of guesses it was taking me to finish games. The evidence so far this month doesn’t seem to back that up.

🟨⬛️⬛️🟨🟩 OSCAR

⬛️🟩⬛️🟩🟩 GATOR

🟩🟩⬛️🟩🟩 MANOR

🟩🟩⬛️🟩🟩 MAYOR

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 MAJOR

Time 6:30

I wasn’t sure if OSCAR was a possible answer but I thought it was a reasonable second guess and it did help, according to the bot, to get me from 23 down to 10 possible answers.

I only thought of one word that fit after my third guess. My last two guesses didn’t occur to me until after I saw the results of my fourth guess. There were, according to the bot, five possible answers after my third guess but my fourth guess narrowed it down to just two.

This is the second time that MAJOR has been the answer. The first time it was the answer was in July 2021, before I started playing. Only my second and third guesses have not been the answer in the past.

This is the first time this month and seventh time overall that I have started a game with 1.1.3 and successfully finished it in 6 guesses.

Time 4:05

I thought of STREW after my second guess but for whatever reason I liked STREP better. Anyhow, there were nine possible answers after my second guess, according to the bot, and just one after my third.

My average number of guesses per game for the current month and my current winning streak are both currently 4.13.

🟩🟩🟩⬛️🟩 PROSE

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 PROVE

Time 3:10

I got a bit nervous after my third guess. I only saw three possible answers and, according to the bot, that’s all there was left but I didn’t know that I was correct about that. I tried those words in the order that they occurred to me.

This is the second time that PROVE has been the answer. The first time was in late November 2021, before I started to play this game. This is the first time this month that the answer has been a repeat.

This is the first time this month and 20th time overall that I have started a game with 1.0.4 and successfully finished it in 6 guesses. This is the second month in a row that I have started at least one game with 1.0.4 and successfully finished it in 6 guesses. This is the second time that this has happened in back to back months.

This is the first time this month, second time this year, and 16th time overall that I have had 17 or more green letters in a game. I finished all but one of those games successfully and all but two of them went the distance. The last time I had 17 or more green letters in a game was on 06/01/26.

This is the third time during my current winning streak that I started a game with 1.0.4 and finished it in successfully 6 guesses. The only other winning streak in which I had three such games was my 10th (443 games). I have never had a winning streak in which I had more than three such games.
