⬛️🟩🟩⬛️🟨 BRING

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 GRILL

Time 7:10

I considered making GRILL my fourth guess but BRING seemed like the smarter play.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 5 guesses. This is the fifth consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 5 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 5 guesses in 51 of the past 54 months.

🟨🟨⬛️⬛️⬛️ RICHE

🟨🟨🟨⬛️🟨 PRINT

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 STRIP

Time 2:20

I think I got very lucky with my second guess.

I had a similar game on 03/13/26. Even though the arrangement of the yellow and black letters in my first two guesses of that game was different, I started that game with PRINT and I finished it in 2:20.

⬛️⬛️🟨⬛️⬛️ LURCH

🟨🟩🟩⬛️⬛️ BRING

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 TRIBE

Time 2:25

I was determined not to try a word that ended in ER (when working on my second and third guesses) unless I absolutely had to. Thankfully I did not and didn’t have much trouble finding other words I could play.

There were still over 125 possible solutions after my second guess (according to the bot) but my third guess narrowed it down to just one possibility.

Winning streak: 95

My current winning streak (19th) is now tied with my 3rd winning streak at 95 games as my fifth longest winning streak. Here’s a side by side comparison of the two streaks.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 ASPIC

Time 12:00

It took me a minute to choose my third and fourth guesses but not because I saw an abundance of possible answers. According to the bot there were nine possible answers after my second guess and just the one after my third guess.

I have finished exactly half of the games (47/94) in my current winning streak in 4 guesses. I usually finish much closer to thirty percent of my games in 4 guesses.

Time 3:40

I didn’t realize it at the time but there was only one possible answer after my third guess, according to the bot.

This is the 10th time this month that I have finished a game in 4 guesses. This is the 14th 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 45 of the past 54 months.

This is the third time that I have finished 10 of the first 15 games of a calendar month in 4 guesses. The previous times this has happened were in Apr 2023 and Jan 2024. The fastest I have reached this point was in Apr 2023 when my 10th game happened on the 14th of the month.

My current winning streak (19th) is now tied with my 11th winning streak at 93 games, as my sixth longest winning streak. Here’s a comparison of the two streaks at this point.

Wordle 1882

⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️🟩 LITHE

⬛️🟨⬛️⬛️🟩 COPSE

🟨⬛️🟩⬛️🟩 DRONE

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 GEODE

Time 4:30

GEODE was the only word that came to mind after my third guess but (according to the bot) there was a couple other possible solutions.

My current winning streak is now exactly 3 months long.

Today was another double palindrome day. This is the 646th game I have finished in 4 guesses and the color combo for my game as a whole is 9.2.9 (9 green, 2 yellow, 9 black).

🟨⬛️🟩⬛️⬛️ STAKE

🟩⬛️🟩🟩🟩 CLASH

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 CRASH

Time 0:50

Well, I got very lucky with my second guess. It was the first word that came to mind that fit. It seemed like a good play so I didn’t overthink it and try to find other words that fit.

This is the first time this month that I have finished a game in under a minute.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.1.3 and finished it in 3 guesses. I have started at least one game with 1.1.3 and finished it in 3 guesses in 31 of the past 54 months.

There are two numeric palindromes today. It is Wordle 1881 and this is the 404th game I have finished in 3 guesses.

Another numeric coincidence is that my current winning streak is now exactly 13 weeks long and today is Aug 13.
