Talk about luck!

This is the 200th time that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished in 4 guesses. This start / finish combination accounts for more than 31 percent of the games I have played.

This is the 10th time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4. This is the first time since Dec 2025 that I have started at least 10 games with 0.1.4 in a calendar month. I have started at least 10 games with 0.1.4 in 24 of the past 50 months.

This is the fourth time that I have only found one letter in my first three guesses and found the answer with my fourth guess. The other three games happened on 07/24/23, 07/17/24, and 02/13/26. My next to last guess in all of those games was 1.0.4.

Time 7:30

I spent most of my time on my fourth guess. I thought of TWEEN but then I tried to think of other words that had five different letters. I spent a few minutes of looking for alternatives before I decided to give it a try.

This is my fifth 14.2.14 game or game that consisted of 14 green, 2 yellow, and 14 black letters. It is the first such game to start with 0.0.5 or in which my next to last guess was 4.0.1.

Time 4:00

It finally happened. I didn’t have to but I decided that it made sense to go with Plan B because I saw at least four possible answers after my third guess. I had been playing in hard mode for a couple months but I decided that enough was enough. I would rather preserve my winning streak, which I did, than lose because I was too proud to turn off hard mode.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.2.2. I have started at least one game with 1.2.2 in 33 of the past 50 months.

This is the first time this month and fifth time overall that I have started a game with 1.2.2 and finished it in 5 guesses. I have yet to lose a game that I have started with 1.2.2. I have finished less than 12.5% (6/49) of the games I have started with 1.2.2 in more than 4 guesses.

I’m not sure how many possible answers there were after my second guess. CLUMP was the first one I stumbled across.

This is the first time this month and 26th time overall that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 3 guesses.

This is the fifth time that I have gone from 0.0.5 to 1.1.3 with my first two guesses to nailing it with my third guess. The four prior times this happened all occurred in either 2022 (03/11/22, 07/28/22) or 2025 (01/18/25, 03/08/25).

Time 11:35

That was kind of scary. I really wasn’t sure about my sixth guess. For some reason it didn’t occur to me until then that the second letter might be E.

I thought about making WEAZE my sixth guess but I thought of WEAVE first so that’s what I went with.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and successfully finished it in 6 guesses. This is the second month in a row that I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and successfully finished it in 6 guesses.

This is the second time that I have successfully finished a game in 6 guesses and found less than three letters in my first 5 guesses. The previous time this happened was 03/24/26.

This is the third time that I have started a 5G game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 5 guesses. This is the fourth time that I have started a 5G game with double 0.0.5 but it’s the first time that I have started a 5G game with double 0.0.5 and finished it in 5 guesses.

This is the 11th time that I have had a YB game, a game which there is an equal number of yellow and black letters and a lesser number of green letters. In this case the count is 6.7.7. Ten of the 11 games have been 6.7.7 games. The other one was my one and only 7.9.9 game.

This is the fourth time that I have had a YB game start with 0.1.4. The seven other YB games all started with 0.2.3.

I really took my time with this one. I wanted my second guess to have both H and L and just one vowel but I couldn’t think of any words that fit that criteria. I was pretty sure after my third guess that the first letter had to be A. I didn’t think of ALLEY until just before I gave it a try.

This my fifth green and yellow pyramid and my second one this year. This is the first time I’ve had two this close together. My last one happened on 03/27/26.

There were more than 16 black letters in this game. This is the 13th time that I have had more than 16 black letters in a game. My game yesterday also had more than 16 black letters. This is the first time that has happened in back to back games.

My average for this winning streak was 4.17 guesses per game. This ties the mark set during my second winning streak (42 games). I’ve never had a higher average. -My +/- 4 factor was -17 for my 17th winning streak, considerably higher than it was for any other winning streak. It was -4 for my 16th winning streak (203 games), +6 for my eighth winning streak (213 games), and +12 for my 10th winning streak (443 games).

This is the fifth time that I have started a losing game with 0.0.5. This is the eighth time that my next to last guess in a losing game has been 3.0.2.

I started 35 games during my 17th winning streak with 0.0.5. That’s a much higher average (26.3%) than any of my other winning streaks that lasted over 100 games. The only other winning streak of any length that had an average over 20% was my 16th (20.2%). My averages for my eighth and 10th winning streaks were both below 12.5%.

Hopefully tomorrow will be the start of a new winning streak. Hopefully it will last at least as long as my 17th did.
