I’m not sure how I could have played this one smarter. My fourth guess is the only one of my first five that has not been the answer in the past. I’m very glad I found the answer before I ran out of guesses.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.1.3. I did not start any games with 1.1.3 last month. I have started at least one game with 1.1.3 in 47 of the past 49 months.

This is the first time this month and sixth time overall that I have started a game with 1.1.3 and successfully finished it in 6 guesses. Two of those six games happened during my current winning streak. Twice in the past I have started a game with 1.1.3 and unsuccessfully finished it in 6 guesses.

Crazy!

This is the 48th time that I have finished a 5G game in 3 guesses, the 24th time that I have started a 5G game with 0.2.3, and the 14th time that I have started a 5G game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 3 guesses.

This is the sixth time that I have had a 5G game in which I went from 0.2.3 to 0.4.1 to 5.0.0. None of the other such games looked identical to this one in terms of the arrangement of the colors.

Time 8:00

I considered making my third guess a word that ended with LL but at that I point I preferred to play something that didn’t repeat any letters.

Three of my first four guesses have been the answer in the past. The only one that has not is my second guess.

Time 8:30

I spent most of my time on my third guess. I would have preferred to make it a word that ended in Y and only had one vowel but I couldn’t come up with any that fit that criteria.

This is the 19th time that I have started a game with nothing but black letters in my first two guesses and the 15th time that I have found just one letter in my first three guesses but it is only the third time that both things have occurred in the same game. The other two times this happened were 06/08/24 and 04/19/25.

Time 1:20

Another fast one.

I found 2 consonants with my first guess today, as I did yesterday. This is the 14th time that this has happened on consecutive days. I’ve never had it happen more than two days in a row.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 3 guesses. This is the fourth consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 3 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 3 guesses in 39 of the past 49 games.

This is the fourth time that it has taken me 3 guesses to finish a game and that it has consisted of 7 green, 4 yellow, and 4 black letters. All three prior games took place in 2023. Only my first game of this kind (see 04/26/23) also started with 0.2.3 although the exact arrangement of yellow, green, and black in my first two guesses of that game was quite different than in today’s game.

Time 1:30

Way too easy. If I had been HASTY then I might have finished this one in under a minute.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 2.0.3. This is the second month in a row that I have started at least one game with 2.0.3. I have started at least one game with 2.0.3 in 36 of the past 49 months.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 3 guesses. This is the second month in a row that I have started at least one game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 3 guesses. This is the 25th time that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 3 guesses.

This is my first 0Y game this month. This is the 24th consecutive month that I have had at least one 0Y game. I have had at least one 0Y game in 46 of the past 49 months.

According to the NYT this is my 124th Sea of Greens game. I think that SoG is the same as 0Y but my count is 135. Possibly my first 11 0Y games occurred before I got a registered account with NYT but I’m not sure because I don’t recall when that was.

Time 3:40

LORRY and LOBBY came to mind after my third guess. I played them in the order that I thought of them. 

This is the 10th consecutive game that I have finished in either 4 or 5 guesses. This is the first time I have finished at least 10 consecutive games in 4 or 5 guesses.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 5 guesses. This is the seventh consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 5 guesses.
