Time 1:55

Talk about luck!

This is the 200th time that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished in 4 guesses. This start / finish combination accounts for more than 31 percent of the games I have played.

This is the 10th time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4. This is the first time since Dec 2025 that I have started at least 10 games with 0.1.4 in a calendar month. I have started at least 10 games with 0.1.4 in 24 of the past 50 months.

This is the fourth time that I have only found one letter in my first three guesses and found the answer with my fourth guess. The other three games happened on 07/24/23, 07/17/24, and 02/13/26. My next to last guess in all of those games was 1.0.4.

Wordle 1769

⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ BRAVO
⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️🟨 SPICE
🟨⬛️🟩⬛️⬛️ WHELM
🟩🟩🟩🟩⬛️ TWEEN
🟩🟩🟩🟩⬛️ TWEED
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 TWEET

Time 7:30

I spent most of my time on my fourth guess. I thought of TWEEN but then I tried to think of other words that had five different letters. I spent a few minutes of looking for alternatives before I decided to give it a try.

This is my fifth 14.2.14 game or game that consisted of 14 green, 2 yellow, and 14 black letters. It is the first such game to start with 0.0.5 or in which my next to last guess was 4.0.1.

🟩⬛️⬛️🟨🟨 SKIER
🟩⬛️⬛️🟩🟩 SPARE
🟩⬛️🟩🟩🟩 SHORE
🟩⬛️⬛️🟨⬛️ SCANT
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SNORE

Time 4:00

It finally happened. I didn’t have to but I decided that it made sense to go with Plan B because I saw at least four possible answers after my third guess. I had been playing in hard mode for a couple months but I decided that enough was enough. I would rather preserve my winning streak, which I did, than lose because I was too proud to turn off hard mode.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.2.2. I have started at least one game with 1.2.2 in 33 of the past 50 months.

This is the first time this month and fifth time overall that I have started a game with 1.2.2 and finished it in 5 guesses. I have yet to lose a game that I have started with 1.2.2. I have finished less than 12.5% (6/49) of the games I have started with 1.2.2 in more than 4 guesses.

Wordle 1767

⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ DINGO
🟨🟩⬛️⬛️⬛️ PLATE
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 CLUMP

Time 3:10

I’m not sure how many possible answers there were after my second guess. CLUMP was the first one I stumbled across.

This is the first time this month and 26th time overall that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 3 guesses.

This is the fifth time that I have gone from 0.0.5 to 1.1.3 with my first two guesses to nailing it with my third guess. The four prior times this happened all occurred in either 2022 (03/11/22, 07/28/22) or 2025 (01/18/25, 03/08/25).

⬛️⬛️⬛️🟨⬛️ NICER
⬛️🟨⬛️⬛️🟩 MAPLE
⬛️⬛️🟩⬛️🟩 SHADE
⬛️⬛️🟩⬛️🟩 QUAKE
⬛️⬛️🟩⬛️🟩 ABATE
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 WEAVE

Time 11:35

That was kind of scary. I really wasn’t sure about my sixth guess. For some reason it didn’t occur to me until then that the second letter might be E.

I thought about making WEAZE my sixth guess but I thought of WEAVE first so that’s what I went with.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and successfully finished it in 6 guesses. This is the second month in a row that I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and successfully finished it in 6 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and successfully finished it in 6 guesses in 30 of the past 50 months.

This is the second time that I have successfully finished a game in 6 guesses and found less than three letters in my first 5 guesses. The previous time this happened was 03/24/26.

⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️🟨 CUMIN
⬛️⬛️🟩🟩⬛️ PLANE
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 STAND

Time 1:45

I didn’t really think my third guess would do it. I just figured that it used some of the more common letters that I had had yet to try and would help to eliminate some or all of them.
