Time 5:25

I think that there was only one possible answer after my fourth guess but I spent a minute or more, after GAUGE occurred to me, toying with the available letters trying to see if there was anything I was overlooking.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 5 guesses. I have started at least one game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 5 guesses in 29 of the past 44 months.

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.

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.

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.

I started eight games with 0.1.4 this month.

NOISY was one of a few possible answers I considered after my fourth guess. I decided to play it safe with my fifth guess, which oddly enough is the only one of my first five guesses that had not been the answer in the past.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 2.0.3. This is the sixth consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 2.0.3. I have started at least one game with 2.0.3 in 32 of the past 43 months.

This is the third time that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 6 guesses. This is the second time during my current winning streak that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 6 guesses.

This is the sort of game that very likely could have ended my winning streak if I was playing in hard mode.

GRIFT was the answer on 05/25/25. GRAFT was the answer seven days ago. That might have been what I kind of sort of recalled.

What is undeniably true is that my third guess was a big leap forward from my second guess.

I got very lucky with my first two guesses, especially the first one.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.2.2. This is the third month in a row that I have started at least one game with 1.2.2. I have started at least one game with 1.2.2 in 28 of the past 42 months.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.2.2 and finished it in 3 guesses. This is the 25th time that I have started a game with 1.2.2 and finished it in 3 guesses.

I thought of GROWN and then I thought of GROAN so that’s the order in which I played them. I had a feeling that GROWN might have been the answer in the past. I checked after the fact and found that my hunch was correct.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.2.3. I have started at least one game with 0.2.3 in all of the past 42 months.

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

STORK was the first word that I came up with after my second guess. I also considered trying SNORT but I decided to go with STORK because I thought of it first. I checked after the fact and SNORT has been the answer in the past.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 2.0.3. This is the fifth consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 2.0.3. I have started at least one game with 2.0.3 in 31 of the past 42 months.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 3 guesses. This is the 21st time that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 3 guesses. This is the fifth time during my current winning streak that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 3 guesses. The only winning streak in which I have started more games with 2.0.3 that I finished in 3 guesses was my 10th winning streak (443 games and 9 games).

This is the 50th time that I have started a game with 2.0.3. I have finished more games that I have started with 2.0.3 in 3 guess than I have any other number of guesses.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 3 guesses. This the eighth consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 3 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 3 guesses in 39 of the past 42 months.

This is the 333rd game that I have finished in 3 guesses. 

This is my first 5G game this month. I have had at least one 5G game in 37 of the past 42 months. I have started slightly more than a quarter (21/83) of my 5G games with 0.1.4 and finished them in 3 guesses.

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

My current winning streak has now lasted exactly 3 months. My average score for July was 4.55. This is just the second time that my average score for a calendar month has been higher than 4.35. The other time that I had an average monthly score higher than 4.35 was in Mar 2022 (4.48).

I did not finish any games in 2 guesses in July. This is the second time in the past 12 months that I have finished a month without finishing any games in 2 guesses.

I finished 12 games in 5 guesses in July. This is just the second time that I have reached double digits in terms of the number of games that I have finished in 5 guesses in a calendar month it is also a new monthly high for me in that category.

I finished 12 games in 4 guesses and 12 games in 5 guesses in July. This is the first time that I have hit double digits in both those categories in the same month.

I finished 18 games in which black was the dominant color, that’s a new monthly high for me. My previous monthly high in this category was 16 games. I finished 8 games in which green was the dominant color, that’s a new monthly low for me. My previous monthly record low in this category was 11 games.

Time 20:10

To say that I agonized over my third, fourth, and fifth guesses would be putting it mildly. It seemed like there was a very large pool of possible answers after my second guess. I used my next three guesses to eliminate letters until I finally found one that fit. It occurred to me that there might be a second R in the answer but I didn’t see how I could test that theory without possibly wasting a guess.

GOFER was one of a myriad of possible answers that occurred to me after my second guess but I didn’t feel comfortable giving it a go until my sixth guess.

This is the third time that I have had a game that lasted six guesses and in which the grid consisted of 12 green, 1 yellow, and 17 black letters. Both of the previous times this happened was in games that ended winning streaks. Those games happened on 04/22/23 and 01/19/25.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 2.0.3. This is the fourth consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 2.0.3. I have started at least one game with 2.0.3 in 30 of the past 41 months.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it successfully in 6 guesses. This is just the second time that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it successfully in 6 guesses. The previous time this happened was on 07/14/22. I have successfully finished all 49 games that I have started with 2.0.3.
