I had to go with Plan B after my third guess. There were at least five possible answers at that point. Plan B was the only possible way to eliminate more than one possible answer with my fourth guess.

⬛️🟩⬛️🟩🟩 SOWER
⬛️⬛️⬛️🟨⬛️ CLIMB
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 MOVER

Time 4:10

I froze after my first guess. Still traumatized by my game from two days ago, I decided that I had to go with Plan B. My first thought, if I hadn’t gone with Plan B, was LOVER, which would have gotten me very close to the answer but I didn’t believe that they would have two words that ended in VER in three days.

This is the 12th time that I have started a game with 3.0.2. This is the second time I have started a game with 3.0.2 and finished it in 3 guesses.

This is the second time that I have started a game with 3.0.2 and that it has not been a 0Y game. The other time this happened was 08/04/24 which was also early in a winning streak. I also started that game knowing that the word fit the pattern of _O_ER and decided to go with Plan B starting with my second guess.

WAVER 🙁

Time 18:30

I had a bad feeling about this game after my second guess. I was pretty sure at that point that the fourth letter was E but that left way too many possible answers. The only way I was going to get this one was if luck was on my side and it wasn’t.

There were a lot of possible answers that occurred to me but WAVER was not one of them. Even if WAGER had been my fifth guess there’s a good chance that my sixth guess would have been WADER.

This is the sixth of my winning streak breakers to be a word that ends in ER. That’s one-third (6/18) of my winning streak breakers that ended in ER.

This is the first time that I have started a losing effort with 2.0.3.

This is my second 0Y game that ended in failure. The first one happened on 04/28/22.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 DOWDY

Time 6:25

I spent at least half my time on my fourth guess. It took me a few minutes to come up with DOWDY. It was the only word that I found that fit. Maybe there were others. I’m not sure.

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 first time this month that I have had nothing but black letters in my first two guesses. This is the fourth consecutive month that I have had at least one game in which I had nothing but black letters in my first two guesses. Prior to 2026 I had never had this happen more than two months in a row.
