Time 18:00

I spent most of my time on my fourth and fifth guesses. I considered playing ABOIL or VOILA for my fourth guess, the latter of which would have gotten me pretty close. I chose to play SOLID because it had S and D, which I wanted to include in my fourth guess, even though it was missing A.

This is the first time this year that it has taken me over 15 minutes to finish a game.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 5 guesses. This is the 18th consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 5 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 5 guesses in 36 of the past 38 months.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 FOAMY

Time 1:10

I see it but I don’t believe it. My first thought after my second guess was to try a word that ended in Y and FOAMY was the first word that came to mind that fit.

I love the symmetry in the grid. See also my game on 02/10/25 for an identical looking grid and my games on 07/17/22 and 12/05/24 for similar but not identical looking grids.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.0.4. This is the 17th 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 37 of the past 38 months.

This is the first time this month that I have started a 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 24 of the past 38 months.

This is my first 0Y game this month. This is the 13th consecutive month that I have had at least one 0Y game. I have had at least one 0Y game in 35 of the past 38 months.

This is the first time this month that I have started a 0Y game with 1.0.4. Almost half (47/101) of my 0Y games have started with 1.0.4.

This is the first time this month that I have started a 0Y game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 3 guesses. This is the 13th time that I have started a 0Y game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 3 guesses.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 KRILL

Time 3:00

Yikes! Could I have completed this game in fewer guesses? Maybe, but KRILL did not occur to me until after my fifth guess.

I checked after the fact and I think this is the first time that the answer has ended with RILL. In other words my third, fourth, and fifth guesses were reasonable options because they have not been the answer in the past.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4. I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 in all of the past 38 months.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 6 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 6 guesses in 23 of the past 38 months.

I moved a little too quickly at first and then I really slowed down. It took me more than a couple minutes to decide, after my second guess, that I needed to go with Plan B. It took me another minute or so after that to come up with my third guess.

This is the first time this month (and this year) that I have started a game with 2.0.3. I have started at least one game with 2.0.3 in 27 of the past 38 months.

The first word that popped into my head after my second guess was CURRY but I set that aside for obvious reasons.

I like the symmetry in the grid for today’s game, even if it is a bit cockeyed.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.1.3. This is the twelfth consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 1.1.3. I have started at least one game with 1.1.3 in 37 of the past 38 months.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 JEWEL

Time 11:30

I probably spent more time on my fourth guess than I did on the others combined. I wanted to try LEVEL at that point but I didn’t because it only had three distinct letters. I thought for a minute or more after my fifth guess before JEWEL came to mind.

This is the first time that I have successfully finished a game in 6 guesses during my current winning streak. This game ends my streak of games without successfully finishing a game in 6 guesses at 59 games. This is only the third time I have had such a streak last more than 50 games. My longest streak of games without successfully finishing a game in 6 guesses lasted 77 games and ended 11/12/22.

That’s it for March. Here are some stats.

My average score for March was 3.65. This is my second lowest average for a calendar month. My lowest happened in Mar 2024 when my average score was 3.61.

I managed to complete every game successfully this month after three consecutive months without achieving this feat.

I did not successfully complete a game in six guesses for the second month in a row. This is just the second time I have done this in back-to-back months. In both cases where this has happened I have failed to complete at least one game successfully in the the first of the two months. The other time this happened was in Sep and Oct 2022.

I finished the same number of games in March in 3 guesses as I did in four guesses. This is the first time that has ever happened for me in a calendar month.

I finished at least 10 games in 3 guesses and at least 10 games in 4 guesses in March. This is the third time I have hit double digits for both 3 guess and 4 guess games. The other two times this happened were Jun 2023 and Dec 2023.

My average score this month was 3.96 which is pretty good except for the fact that I failed to complete one game successfully. This is the third consecutive month that I have completed at least one game unsuccessfully. This is the first time that has happened three months in a row.

For the first time since Feb 2024 I went a whole calendar month without successfully completing a game in 6 guesses. This is just the fourth time that has happened.

This is just the second time that I have finished a month without finishing a game in 2 guesses and without successfully finishing a game in 6 guesses. The other time this happened was in Oct 2022.

Disaster averted but I certainly stumbled with my third guesses.

This is the first time this month that I have found two consonants on my first guess. I think this might have made me a little overconfident which may account for my third guess blunder.

This is the second time I have finished a game in 5 guesses and had fewer than 7 black letters. This is the first time I have finished a game in 5 guesses and had fewer than 6 black letters.

This is the first time this month that I have had more yellow letters in a game than either green or black letters. This is just the 20th time this has happened without the yellow letters accounting for the majority of the letters played.

Almost all (8/9) of the games that I have started with 3.0.2 have wound up being 0Y games. This is my fifth 0Y game this month but it is the first one that did not begin with 1.0.4.

I thought of trying CROCK as my fifth guess but I didn’t. That would, in retrospect, have been a better fifth guess. I only saw two possible answers after my fifth guess. I went with the one I thought of first. Oops?

This game ends my streak of finishing games in 3 or 4 guesses at 14, my longest such streak to date.

This is third consecutive month in which I have failed to complete a game successfully. That’s a first for me. Maybe next month I can do better.

This was my 14th winning streak. It took me an average of 3.88 guesses to finish a game during this winning streak. This was my second longest winning streak with an average number of guesses below 4. My longest winning streak with an average number of guesses below 4 lasted 61 games. I’m not sure if I should read anything into that but I am tempted to.

This is the third time that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and failed to finish it successfully.

This is the seventh time that my next to last last guess was 3.0.2 in a game that I failed to complete successfully.

It didn’t take me long to pick my fourth guess after I saw the outcome of my third one.

I have started almost a third (31/96) of my 0Y games with 1.0.4 and finished almost 45 percent (43/96) of my 0Y games in 4 guesses. This is the first time this month that I have started a 0Y game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 4 guesses. This is the most common start and finish combination for my 0Y games even though it only accounts for about 15 percent (14/96) of my 0Y games and I have never had this start finish combination occur in a 0Y game more than once in a calendar month.

ICING didn’t come to mind until after my third guess. I doubt that I would have tried it as my third guess unless BOING had not come to mind at that time.

Time 9:00

So much for that winning streak. I knew I was in trouble after my third guess. There are so many words that end in ER. Also, I forgot to consider that there might be another R in the answer.

This is the first time I have had fails in back to back months since April and May 2023.

This was my 13th winning streak and the seventh winning streak of mine that has not reached 25 games in length.

I started this winning streak with a really high average score. I had just gotten that average back to exactly 4 guesses per game and then this happens. This is the fourth time that I have had a winning streak end with an average score of exactly 4 guesses per game. Two of those winning streaks were shorter than this one. Those would be my sixth (3 games) and seventh (9 games) winning streaks. The other one was my eighth winning streak (213 games).

I could probably have finished this game much faster if I had just gone with the first word that came to mind (VERSE) after my second guess. The problem was then I started to think of all sorts of other possibilities and decided to take a more cautious approach, Plan B.

The last time I had a game that consisted of this combination of green, yellow, and black (13.1.16) was the game that ended my tenth winning streak (443 games).
