Time 6:20

I was taking a bit of a chance starting with a word that included K and V but that was the word I chose to start with today. It all worked out in the end but I feel as though there was an element of luck working in my favor today. I don’t think there were any other possible answers after my fourth guess.

This is the second time that BATON has been the answer. The first time it was the answer was in Dec 2021, before I started playing. This is the first word this month to be a repeat and the 18th repeat overall since they started repeats in Feb 2026.

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 53 months.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 5 guesses. This is the third month in a row that I have started at least one game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 5 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 5 guesses in 35 of the past 53 months.

Games played: 1592

Winning streak: 50

This is my 19th ninth winning streak, my ninth one to reach the 50 game mark. My average score for this winning streak is 4.30 guesses per game. Prior to this my highest average score for winning streaks that reached 50 games (at the 50 game mark) was 4.02 guesses per game.

I have only finished 5 games or 10% of my games in 3 guesses during my current winning streak. This is the first time that I have not reached double digits in games that I finished in 3 guesses in the first 50 games of a winning streak. Across all games I have finished 25% of my games in 3 guesses.

I started 11 or 22% of my games with 1.0.4 during my current winning streak. Prior to this I had never started more than 8 games with 1.0.4 during the first 50 games of any winning streak. Across all games I have started about 12% of my games with 1.0.4.
