Time 4:00

CLIFF came to mind almost immediately after my third guess but I looked for other possible words that fit before giving it a try. I couldn’t come up with any others so I gave it a try.

Talk about lucky guesses. I was thinking after my second guess I might be in for a bumpy ride. Not exactly.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 3 guesses. This is the 25th time that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 3 guesses.

This is my first 0Y game this month. This is the 30th time that I have started a 0Y game with 0.0.5. This is the 41st time that I have finished a 0Y game in 3 guesses. This is the 10th time that I have started a 0Y game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 3 guesses.

⬛️🟩🟩🟩🟩 BLINK

⬛️🟩🟩🟩🟩 PLINK

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 CLINK

Time 2:05

Maybe I should have finished this one in four instead of five guesses. I thought of CLINK first but chose to make PLINK my fourth guess.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 5 guesses. This is the fifth consecutive month that I have started at least one 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 32 of the past 47 months.

This is the fourth consecutive game in which my next to last guess has been 4.0.1. This is just the third time that I’ve had four consecutive games in which my next to last game has been 4.0.1. It seems a bit odd that this is just the third time this has happened considering that 4.0.1 is my next to last guess in roughly one-fifth (20.6%) of my games. I’ve never had more than four consecutive games in which my next to last guess has been 4.0.1.

Time 6:35

I probably should have gone with MUSIC for my third guess. I’m not sure that I would have finished the game in fewer guesses but it at least would have gotten me closer and had five different letters. Of course, it turned out there was one letter repeated but it wasn’t the one I thought it might be.

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 seventh 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 33 of the past 47 months.

That was close although I’m not sure what other options there were after my fifth guess. WAXEN did not occur to me until after I tried WAKEN.

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

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.0.4. This is the 26th 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 46 of the past 47 months.

This is my first 5G game this month. This is the seventh consecutive month that I have had at least one 5G game. I have had at least one 5G game in 42 of the past 47 months.

This is the 15th time that I have started a 5G game with 0.0.5. This is the ninth time that I have started a 5G game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 4 guesses. I finished the six other 5G games I started with 0.0.5 in 3 guesses.

This game ends my streak of games without a 5G game at 44 games. This is the sixth time that I have had this sort of streak last over six weeks. My longest streak of games without a 5G game lasted 59 games.

I think that I got pretty lucky with my first guess. If the R in that word has been some place other than in the first position then it would not have helped to narrow down the possibilities quite as much as it did.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.1.3 and finished it in 4 guesses.

Time 6:20

There were several possible answers after my third guess. I had to go with Plan B. Some of the possibile answers had almost certainly been been the answer in the past but I don’t like to check that sort of things while I am playing so I didn’t.

I checkecd after the fact and four of the possible answers (MIGHT, LIGHT, NIGHT, SIGHT) had been the answer in the past. Not knowing this, I chose a word that used three of the possible first letters I considered. EIGHT wasn’t even on my radar screen at that point. It was just dumb luck that I chose a word that included an E.
