Wordle 1913

⬛️🟩🟩⬛️⬛️ LINKY
⬛️🟩🟩⬛️⬛️ PINCH
🟩🟩🟩⬛️🟨 RINDS
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 RINSE

Time 3:25

I got a little nervous after my second guess but I just played it safe and my strategy paid off. My third guess (according to the bot) narrowed it down to just one possibile answer.

This is the fourth time this month that I have started a game with 2.0.3. This is the second time that I have started four games in a calendar month with 2.0.3. I have never started more that four games in a calendar month with 2.0.3. The other time I started four games in a calendar month with 2.0.3 was in May 2025.

This is the second time this month that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 4 guesses. This is the third time I have done this twice in a calendar month. I have never done it more than twice in a calendar month.

Wordle 1912

⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ BLAZE
⬛️🟨🟨⬛️⬛️ PUSHY
⬛️⬛️⬛️🟩🟩 MINUS
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 FOCUS

Time 3:20

I also considered making USING my third guess. I’m glad I went with MINUS. It narrowed the possible answers down to just two words, according to the bot. The only other possible answer after my third guess was TORUS.

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 30th 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 51 of the past 55 months.

This is the first time this month that the answer has been a repeat. The first time that FOCUS was the answer was exactly 4.5 years ago on 03/13/22. It also took me four guesses to finish that game but aside from that it looked very different from this one.

Wordle 1911

⬛️🟩⬛️🟩⬛️ SIXTH
⬛️🟩🟨🟩🟩 MINTY
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 NIFTY

Time 2:05

My first guess narrowed it down to 11 possible answers (according to the bot) and my second guess down to one.

The last time I started a game with 2.0.3, followed that with 3.1.1, and finished the game with my third guess was on 11/01/24. The answer that day was SIXTH.

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. I have started at least one game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 3 guesses in 28 of the past 55 months.

Wordle 1910

⬛️🟨🟨⬛️⬛️ DASHY
🟨⬛️🟨🟨🟨 PLATE
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 ASTER

Time 25:00

I played my first two guesses in probably less than a minute. There was just one possible answer after my second guess (according to the bot) but the word wasn’t one with which I was familiar. I tried mixing up the four letters I had in all kinds of ways before I finally gave ASTER a try.

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 3 guesses in 44 of the past 55 months.

This is my first 5G game this month. This is the second month in a row that I have had at least one 5G game. I have had at least one 5G game in 49 of the past 55 months.

This is the fourth time this year and second game this month that it has taken me over 20 minutes to complete a game. The last time this happened multiple times in a calendar month was in 2023. I only had two games that lasted over 20 minutes in 2025 and only one in 2024.

This is the first time this month and second month in a row that I have had a game in which yellow occurred more frequently than either green or black. This has happened at least once in 30 of the past 55 months.

⬛️🟩⬛️⬛️⬛️ WREAK
⬛️🟩⬛️⬛️🟨 PROUD
🟩🟩⬛️⬛️⬛️ DRIFT
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 DRYLY

Time 14:55

I spent most of my time on my fourth guess. It took me a long time, probably over 10 minutes (to go from three to four) even though there was only one possible answer, according to the bot. In all fairness to myself, I didn’t know there was just one possible answer and I have managed to find playable words (in the past) that are not possible answers.

Wordle 1908

⬛️⬛️⬛️🟩🟩 WHIST
⬛️⬛️⬛️🟩🟩 YEAST
⬛️🟨🟨🟩🟩 CRUST
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 BURST

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.

Wordle 1907

⬛️🟨⬛️🟨⬛️ REJIG
⬛️🟨🟨🟩⬛️ PLIES
🟩🟩🟨🟩⬛️ LINED
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 LIVEN

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.
