🟩🟩🟩⬛️⬛️ DRINK
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 DRILL

Time 2:20

DRILL was the only word that I could think of (after my third guess) that fit. It came to mind fairly quickly after my third guess but I hesitated before trying it while I looked to see if there were others.

The last time that I started a game with 0.2.3, and in which my next to last guess was 3.0.2, and that I finished in 4 guesses happened exactly two years ago today on 10/23/23.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 4 guesses.

Time 4:40

I hesitated before trying my fourth guess because the only two possible words I came up with would only potentially allow me to eliminate just one letter each. Once I was satisfied that there probably weren’t any other potential guesses, I gave one of them a try.

Time 5:55

My fourth guess felt a little risky but after that I was pretty sure that there were only two possible answers. I played them in the order I thought of them.

I checked after the fact and my third guess is the only one that has been the answer in the past.

I saw three possible answers after my third guess. I decided to go for it rather than switch to Plan B. I would been happier if I had FOUND the answer with my fourth guess but it all worked out in the end. I got lucky enough.

I checked after the fact and FOUND that MOUND has not previously been the answer. The same is not true about my fourth guess.

Time 9:30

I spent most of my time on my fourth guess. The first word I thought of after my third guess was STACK but then I also thought of STAFF and STAGY. I got a little nervous after that and wondered if there weren’t other possible words out there. I decided to go with Plan B but it took me a while to come up with a word that used letters from all three possible answers that had occurred to me.

I checked after the the STACK and STAGY had not been the answer in the past but STAFF has.
