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.

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.
