🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 AWAKE

Time 8:15

I really feel like I dodged a bullet with this game. I intended for my first guess to be BULKY but I hit enter before I checked what I had typed. I didn’t consider putting the letter K into my second or fourth guesses. My third guess could have been SHAKE but I decided that I liked SHAME better given my stupid mistake earlier in the game. I saw three possible answers after my fourth guess. AWAKE was one of those words and the other was WEAZE.

I played this game in Hard mode. I considered turning that off after my fourth guess but once I narrowed my options down to three words, all of which contained the letter W, I decided to play on in Hard mode.

I checked after the fact and neither WEAVE nor WEAZE has been the answer in the past.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 6 guesses. I also started one game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 6 guesses last month. This is the first time I have had this happen in back to back months. This is the 19th time that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 6 guesses.

Time 3:15

I thought about making STANK my fourth guess but STUNG came to mind first so I went with that instead.

This is the 13th consecutive game in which my first guess has had either 4 or 5 black letters. I have only once in the past had this kind of streak last this long. That streak lasted from 07/16/22 to 07/28/22.

Time 9:20

I spent most of my time on my third guess. I wasn’t sure that my third guess was a word but I gave it a try anyway. Maybe if I had thought about it a little longer then I might have finished this game in three guesses.

This the 300th time that my next to last guess has been 4.0.1. I have finished 104 of those 300 games in 4 guesses.

Time 19:55

I probably spent at least half my time on my fifth guess but I wasn’t exactly flying through the game up to that point.

This is the sixth time during my current winning streak that I have started a game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 5 guesses. This matches the number of games that I started with 1.0.4 and finished in 5 guesses during my eighth winning streak (213 games) and is only exceeded by the numbers of times (14) I managed to do this during my 10th winning streak (443 games).

This is the first time since early December 2025 that it has taken me over 15 minutes to finish a game.

I spent most of my time on my fourth guess.

This is the 32nd consecutive game that I have had only one or two of the three possible colors represented in my first guess. This is the third time I have had such a streak last this long. I have never had a longer streak of this sort. The other two streaks of this kind that reached 32 games ended on 07/28/22 and 04/21/24.

This is my third 10.5.10 game. The two other two games both began with 0.2.3 and happened on 10/01/22 and 07/14/25.

This is the 30th time that I have started a game with 0.1.4 during my current winning streak. I also started 30 games with 0.1.4 during my third (95 games) and eleventh (93 games) winning streaks.
