Wordle 1947

⬛️⬛️🟨⬛️⬛️ STREP
⬛️⬛️🟨🟩🟨 CHARD
🟨🟨⬛️🟩⬛️ DAIRY
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 ADORN

Time 8:15

I spent most of my time on my fourth guess. I had a heck of a time finding words that fit. I only came up with one other (ANDRO) but I wasn’t even sure if that was a playable word let alone a possible answer. There were just two possible answers, according to the bot, after my second guess so I guess it was wise of me to keep looking and not try ANDRO.

This is the 28th time during my current winning streak that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 4 guesses. This ties the number of times this happened during my 16th winning streak (204 games). It is only exceeded by the 66 times this happened during my 10th winning streak (443 games).

⬛️⬛️⬛️🟨⬛️ DOPEY
🟨⬛️🟨⬛️⬛️ FLESH
⬛️🟨🟩⬛️⬛️ REFIT
⬛️🟩🟩🟩🟩 CAFFE
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 GAFFE

Time 12:05

There was just one possible answer, according to the bot, and yet, after my third guess but despite spending most of my time on my fourth guess I managed to choose a word that was not it. At least it helped me to see the word I overlooked.

This is the 16th time during my current winning streak that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 5 guesses. This ties the number of times that I did this during eighth winning streak (213 games) and is only exceeded by the 39 times that I did it during my 10th winning streak (443 games).

🟩🟩🟩⬛️⬛️ SHARP
🟩🟩🟩⬛️⬛️ SHAFT
🟩🟩🟩⬛️⬛️ SHANK
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SHADY

Time 5:35

I might have tried SHADY earlier than I did if I had thought of it before my fourth guess but it didn’t occur to me until after my fourth guess. My second guess, according to the bot, narrowed the possible answers down to 5 words. The two words that I didn’t try were SHACK and SHAKY.

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 seventh consecutive month in which this has happened at least once. This has happened at least once in 53 of the past 56 months.

🟨🟨⬛️⬛️⬛️ SPARK
🟩⬛️🟨🟨🟨 PUSHY
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 PSYCH

Time 1:45

My third guess did not immediately come to mind after my second guess. I had to play with the letters a little bit before I saw what turned out to be the answer. There was only one possible answer, according to the bot, after my second guess.

🟨🟩🟩⬛️🟨 RIDGE
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 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.
