Time 6:35

I was starting to get a little nervous after my third guess. I probably spent more time on my fourth guess than on all my other guesses combined.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 5 guesses. This is the fifth consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 5 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 5 guesses in 23 of the past 36 months.

Games played: 1102

Winning streak: 13

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

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.

Time 2:35

I finished today’s game in 2:35 and today’s game is the 235th game that I have finished in 5 guesses.

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 16th 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 34 of the past 36 months.

This game completes my monthly bingo card for my seven most common start / finish combinations. I also hit all seven of my most common start / finish combinations in January. This is the 17th time that I have completed my bingo card of my seven most common start / finish combinations within a calendar month.

I intentionally avoided trying words that ended in ER until my fourth guess.

This is the first time this month that I have started a 5G game with 0.1.4. A little over 40 percent (30/73) of my 5G games have started with 0.1.4. I have started at least one 5G game with 0.1.4 in 18 of the past 36 months.

This is the twelfth time that I have started a 5G game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 4 guesses. This is my second most frequently occurring start / finish combination for 5G games. My most frequently occurring start / finish combination for 5G games is 0.1.4 and 3 guesses.

Time 2:40

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.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.3.2. This is the fourth consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.3.2. I have started at least one game with 0.3.2 in 26 of the past 36 months.

This the fourth time I have started a game with 0.3.2 and finished it in 5 guesses.

This is the first time this month and ninth time overall that I have started a game with 3.0.2.

This is the first time I have started a game with 3.0.2 and finished it in 3 guesses. I have finished over half (5/9) of the games I have started with 3.0.2 in 2 guesses. 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.

This is the third day in a row that I have had a 0Y game, which is a first for me.

SADLY, I discovered after the fact that BADLY had been the answer a few years ago, before I started playing Wordle. I don’t usually check these sorts of things before trying words, especially in a case where I see only two possible answers and I have three guesses left.

This is the first time this month that I have started a 0Y game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 5 guesses. This is the tenth time that I have started a 0Y game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 5 guesses.

Time 10:50

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.

I probably spent about half my time on my second guess.

Three words came to mind after my second guess: MUMMY, GUMMY, RUMMY. I chose to go with RUMMY because R occurs more frequently than M or G.

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.

I have finished 80 percent of my games during my current winning in 3 or 4 guesses.

I spent most of my time, at least five minutes, on my third guess. I thought of a few other words that fit (KNOCK, FOOTY, BOOTY) but then I thought of GOODY and for whatever reason that felt better so I gave it a try.

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