Wordle 1854

⬛️⬛️🟨⬛️⬛️ SMART
🟩🟨⬛️🟨⬛️ LAUGH
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 LEGAL

Time 6:35

This game took as long as it did for a couple reasons. First, I wanted my second guess to have just one vowel and five distinct letters. I probably spent a couple minutes looking for such a word, without success. I wound up settling for LAUGH.

Second, I thought of LEGAL almost immediately after my second guess but I would have preferred a word that didn’t have any letters repeated. I spent a couple minutes or more looking for such a word but eventually gave up and gave LEGAL a try. According to Wordlebot it was the only possible word left that I could play.

This game ends my streak of games that I started with 0.0.5 at four games. No new record. I will just have to settle for having put together two such streaks.

This is the first time this month that I have started a 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 48 of the past 53 months.

According to my records, which I know are incomplete because I am missing the data from my first 15 games, I have now played exactly 2500 different words. A little over 92% of those words have been played 5 times or less.

Games played: 1606
Winning streak: 64
