🟨⬛️🟨⬛️🟨 MADGE

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 EMBED

Time 10:25

MADGE and EMBED are both words that I had never tried before in almost 4 years of playing Wordle.

I spent most of my time on my fourth and fifth guesses. I more or less dismissed the idea that the answer would end with ED until I was playing around with the letters and stumbled across EMBED.

This is the 19th time during my current winning streak that I have started a game with 0.0.5. This matches the number of games I started with 0.0.5 during my eighth winning streak (213 games). I have only started more games with 0.0.5 during my 10th (443 games) and 16th (204 games) winning streaks.

Prior to two days ago I had only had two 5G games that took me 5 guesses to complete but now it has happened twice in three days. Prior to days ago I had never started a 5G game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 5 guesses but now it has happened twice in three days.

⬛️🟨🟨🟨⬛️ CLEAN

⬛️🟨🟨🟨⬛️ MEALY

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 GAVEL

Time 5:55

I thought, after my fourth guess, that one of the three yellow letters must be the first letter in the answer. I then looked to see what possible answers there were if something other than one of the yellow letters was the first letter. That led me to GAVEL. I thought it was worth a try. I hoped it would get me closer to the answer but I didn’t expect it to be the answer.

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

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5. This is the 36th 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 46 of the past 48 months.

Time 6:05

I froze after my second guess because I saw a lot of possible answers. SWOOP was one of those words. It took me a few minutes to decide which way to go.
