Time 4:40

I was a bit nervous about starting with two green letters and wondered if I should turn off hard mode but I was reassured by the fact I’ve never failed to successfully complete a game in which I found two consonants with my first guess. My third guess narrowed the possible answers down to just one word (according to the bot) although it didn’t immediately come to mind.

This is the first time this month, third time during my current winning streak, and 18th time overall that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 4 guesses. My only other winning streak in which I had more than 2 games with this start / finish combination was my 10th (443 games) in which it happened 6 times.

Time 2:15

My third guess narrowed it down to just two possible answers. I thought about making LIKEN my fourth guess but I thought of LIVEN first so I went with that. The bot seems to think that INLET would have been a more efficient third guess for me but I fail to see the logic in that because LIKEN would still have been a possible answer.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.2.3. This is the 55th 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 4 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 4 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 4 guesses in 49 of the past 55 months.

Starting with 0.2.3 and finishing in 4 guesses used to be the third most common start / finish combination for me. A couple months ago it was surpassed by starting with 0.0.5 and finishing in 4 guesses which has now occurred 126 times versus 122 times for starting with 0.2.3 and finishing in 4 guesses.

Time 1:10

That was fast and might have taken a little less time if I had just been thinking a little more clearly. My first guess (according to the bot) narrowed the possible answers down to 3 possible words and my second to just one.

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 36 of the past 55 months but last month was not one of those months.

This is the first time this month, first time this year, and 27th time overall that I have started a game with 1.2.2 and finished it in 3 guesses.

This is the first time this month that I have found at least two consonants (that are in the answer) in my first guess. This is the 54th consecutive month in which this has happened.

Time 13:50

There were (according to the bot) over 1000 possible answers after my first guess. My third guess narrowed down the list of possibile answers down from 99 to 2 words. My fourth guess was not one of those two words but it did narrow it down to just one possible answer.

This is the eighth time that I have not found any of the consonants in the answer in my first four guesses and then found the answer with my fifth guess.

I used 20 different letters in this game. This is the 19th time I have used 20 or more different letters in a game. I used exactly 20 different letters in 12 of those 19 games.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 5 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 5 guesses in 39 of the past 55 months but last month was not one of those months.

This is the first time this month, ninth time this year, and 25th time overall that I haven’t found any letters in the answer in my first two guesses.

Time 14:50

What a nerve wracking game! So many possibilities after my first guess. I immediately decided that I had to turn off hard mode if I was going to have a realistic shot at getting this one without getting extremely lucky. It felt like there was still a large number of possible answers after my third guess. I probably spent most of my time on my fourth guess.

According to the bot:

After 1st guess 123 possible answers

After 2nd guess 60 possible answers

After 3rd guess 16 possible answers

After 4th guess 2 possible answers

The bot, of course, took issue with my fourth guess by pointing out how it might not have helped if the answer had been something different. I take issue with the bot’s analysis because my fourth guess did help, big time. F the bot and its strategies and its commentary! I found the answer in five guesses. That’s good enough for me.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 2.0.3. This is the fifth consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 2.0.3. I have started at least one game with 2.0.3 in 41 of the past 55 months.

This is the first time this month and 11th time overall that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 5 guesses.

Time 7:55

I might have tried JOIST earlier but I didn’t think of it until after my fifth guess. My fourth guess (according to the bot) narrowed the possible answers down to four words and my fifth to just the one.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.0.4. This is the 34th consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 1.0.4. I have started at least one game with 1.0.4 in 54 of the past 55 months.

This matches the number of times that I started games with 1.0.4 during my 16th winning streak (204 games) and is only exceeded by the 31 such games during my eighth winning streak (213 games) and the 42 such games during my 10th winning streak (443 games).
