Wordle 1876

⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️🟩 LACKY
🟩🟨⬛️⬛️🟩 PITHY
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 PRIVY

Time 2:20

I spent most of my time on my second guess. My third guess came to mind quickly and (according to the bot) was the only possible solution at that point.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.0.4. This the 33rd 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 53 of the past 54 months.

This is the 17th time I have started a game with 1.0.4 during my current winning streak. I also started 17 games with 1.0.4 during my 17th winning streak (133 games).

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 3 guesses. This is the third month in a row that I have started at least one game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 3 guesses. I have started at least one game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 3 guesses in 33 of the past 54 months.

Wordle 1875

⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️🟨 SCALE
⬛️⬛️⬛️🟨⬛️ THREW
⬛️🟩🟨⬛️🟩 BEGUN
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 FEIGN

Time 6:50

This is the second time that FEIGN has been the answer. The first time it was the answer was in Jul 2021, before I began playing. Yesterday’s answer was also a repeat. I believe this is the first time that the answers on back to back days have both been repeats.

So far this month I have finished all my games in less than 5 guesses. This is only the third time that I have made it a week or more into a month without finishing a game in 5 or more guesses. The two prior months in which this happened were Feb 2025 (14 days) and Sep 2025 (13 days).

Wordle 1874

⬛️⬛️🟨⬛️🟩 FORTE
🟨🟨⬛️⬛️🟩 RICHE
🟨🟩🟩⬛️🟩 PRIME
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 GRIPE

Time 3:05

While I was working on my third guess it occurred to me that PRICE would probably have been a better second guess.

This is the second time that GRIPE has been the answer. It was also the answer in Apr 2022. This the first time this month and 21st time overall that a word has been reused in this manner.

I also started yesterday’s game with 1.1.3. This is the 11th time I have started back to back games with 1.1.3. I have never started more than 2 games in a row with 1.1.3.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.1.3 and finished it in 4 guesses. I have started at least one game with 1.1.3 and finished it in 4 guesses in 32 of the past 54 months.

⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ HURLS
⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ CANDY
🟩🟩⬛️🟩⬛️ MOVIE
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 MOTIF

Time 15:20

I spent most of my time on my third and fourth guesses. I wasn’t crazy about my third guess but I figured that it would get me something since it had all three vowels that I had yet to play. I also considered making MOXIE my third guess. I was stumped for at least a few minutes as to what if any words were possible answers after my third guess. As it turns out there was just one possible answer left, the one I chose.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5. This is the 42nd 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 52 of the past 54 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 29th consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 4 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 4 guesses in 50 of the past 54 months.

This is the third time that I have had a game that consisted of 8 green and 12 black letters. This is the second such game I have had in the past three weeks. My previous 8.0.12 game occurred on 07/13/26 but the one before that happened almost four years before that on 07/20/22.

This is my first 0Y game this month. This is the fourth consecutive month that I have had at least one 0Y game. I have had at least one 0Y game in 50 of the past 54 months.

This is the first time this month, eighth time this year, and 24th time overall that I have not found any letters from the answer in my first two guesses. This is the fifth time that such a game has also been a 0Y game.

Wordle 1871

⬛️🟨⬛️⬛️🟨 CRISP
🟨⬛️⬛️🟨🟨 POWER
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 REPLY

Time 9:25

I probably spent three-quarters of my time on my third guess. It was the only word I came up with that fit. I’m not sure why it took me so long to find it. According to Wordlebot there was only one other possible answer after my second guess (REPAY) but it didn’t occur to me.

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 third month in a row 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 43 of the past 54 months.

This is my seventh 5.5.5 game and my first such game of 2026. I had one 5.5.5 game in 2023, four in 2024, and one in 2025. Click on the 555 tag to see all my 5.5.5 games. 

This is the first time this month that I have found two consonants with my first guess. This is is the 53rd consecutive month that I’ve had at least one such game. This is my first 5.5.5 game in which I have found two consonants with my first guess.

Okay, I think that’s enough. There’s more I could go on about but I think that’s enough.

I spent most of my time on my second guess. I only saw two possibilities after my second guess. I played them in the order I thought of them.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.2.3. This is the 54th consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.2.3.
