Time 12:00

It took me a minute to choose my third and fourth guesses but not because I saw an abundance of possible answers. According to the bot there were nine possible answers after my second guess and just the one after my third guess.

I have finished exactly half of the games (47/94) in my current winning streak in 4 guesses. I usually finish much closer to thirty percent of my games in 4 guesses.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 LOOSE

Time 3:40

I didn’t realize it at the time but there was only one possible answer after my third guess, according to the bot.

This is the 10th time this month that I have finished a game in 4 guesses. This is the 14th consecutive month in which I have finished at least 10 games in 4 guesses. I have finished at least 10 games in 4 guesses in 45 of the past 54 months.

This is the third time that I have finished 10 of the first 15 games of a calendar month in 4 guesses. The previous times this has happened were in Apr 2023 and Jan 2024. The fastest I have reached this point was in Apr 2023 when my 10th game happened on the 14th of the month.

Winning streak: 93

My current winning streak (19th) is now tied with my 11th winning streak at 93 games, as my sixth longest winning streak. Here’s a comparison of the two streaks at this point.

⬛️🟨⬛️⬛️🟩 COPSE

🟨⬛️🟩⬛️🟩 DRONE

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 GEODE

Time 4:30

GEODE was the only word that came to mind after my third guess but (according to the bot) there was a couple other possible solutions.

My current winning streak is now exactly 3 months long.

Today was another double palindrome day. This is the 646th game I have finished in 4 guesses and the color combo for my game as a whole is 9.2.9 (9 green, 2 yellow, 9 black).

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 CRASH

Time 0:50

Well, I got very lucky with my second guess. It was the first word that came to mind that fit. It seemed like a good play so I didn’t overthink it and try to find other words that fit.

This is the first time this month that I have finished a game in under a minute.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.1.3 and finished it in 3 guesses. I have started at least one game with 1.1.3 and finished it in 3 guesses in 31 of the past 54 months.

There are two numeric palindromes today. It is Wordle 1881 and this is the 404th game I have finished in 3 guesses.

Another numeric coincidence is that my current winning streak is now exactly 13 weeks long and today is Aug 13.

Time 2:55

I thought of WIMPY, after my second guess, but then I then I thought of WISPY and liked it a little better. I didn’t realize it at the time but (according to the bot) there were only four other possible answers after my second guess. None of those words occurred to me as possible solutions.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 4 guesses. This is the fourth consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 4 guesses.

Time 3:20

My fourth guess should have been my third guess. Somehow I overlooked the fact that A had already been eliminated when choosing my third guess. I didn’t notice my mistake until after I had finished the game.

I was a bit nervous after my third guess but according to the bot there were just two possible answers at that point.

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 12th 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 39 of the past 54 months.

This game ends my streak of games that I finished in less than 5 guesses at 11 games. My longest such streak lasted for 15 games.

Time 6:30

I spent most of my time on my second guess. CLINK was one of the words I considered before settling on on CLING. Theres a pretty good chance that I still would have played CLANK before CLUNK even if CLINK had been my second guess.

This is the 10th consecutive game that I have finished in less than 5 guesses. This is the first such streak that I have had that has lasted this long this year. It is the eighth one that I have had that has lasted this long in the past 54 months.

Time 2:20

I spent most of my time on my second guess. My third guess came to mind quickly and (according to the bot) was the only possible solution at that point.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.0.4. This the 33rd 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 53 of the past 54 months.

This is the 17th time I have started a game with 1.0.4 during my current winning streak. I also started 17 games with 1.0.4 during my 17th winning streak (133 games).

Time 6:50

This is the second time that FEIGN has been the answer. The first time it was the answer was in Jul 2021, before I began playing. Yesterday’s answer was also a repeat. I believe this is the first time that the answers on back to back days have both been repeats.

So far this month I have finished all my games in less than 5 guesses. This is only the third time that I have made it a week or more into a month without finishing a game in 5 or more guesses. The two prior months in which this happened were Feb 2025 (14 days) and Sep 2025 (13 days).

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 GRIPE

Time 3:05

While I was working on my third guess it occurred to me that PRICE would probably have been a better second guess.

This is the second time that GRIPE has been the answer. It was also the answer in Apr 2022. This the first time this month and 21st time overall that a word has been reused in this manner.

I also started yesterday’s game with 1.1.3. This is the 11th time I have started back to back games with 1.1.3. I have never started more than 2 games in a row with 1.1.3.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.1.3 and finished it in 4 guesses. I have started at least one game with 1.1.3 and finished it in 4 guesses in 32 of the past 54 months.

Time 15:20

I spent most of my time on my third and fourth guesses. I wasn’t crazy about my third guess but I figured that it would get me something since it had all three vowels that I had yet to play. I also considered making MOXIE my third guess. I was stumped for at least a few minutes as to what if any words were possible answers after my third guess. As it turns out there was just one possible answer left, the one I chose.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5. This is the 42nd consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.0.5. I have started at least one game with 0.0.5 in 52 of the past 54 months.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 4 guesses. This is the 29th consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 4 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 4 guesses in 50 of the past 54 months.

This is the third time that I have had a game that consisted of 8 green and 12 black letters. This is the second such game I have had in the past three weeks. My previous 8.0.12 game occurred on 07/13/26 but the one before that happened almost four years before that on 07/20/22.

This is my first 0Y game this month. This is the fourth consecutive month that I have had at least one 0Y game. I have had at least one 0Y game in 50 of the past 54 months.

This is the first time this month, eighth time this year, and 24th time overall that I have not found any letters from the answer in my first two guesses. This is the fifth time that such a game has also been a 0Y game.

Time 9:25

I probably spent three-quarters of my time on my third guess. It was the only word I came up with that fit. I’m not sure why it took me so long to find it. According to Wordlebot there was only one other possible answer after my second guess (REPAY) but it didn’t occur to me.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 3 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 3 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 3 guesses in 43 of the past 54 months.

This is my seventh 5.5.5 game and my first such game of 2026. I had one 5.5.5 game in 2023, four in 2024, and one in 2025. Click on the 555 tag to see all my 5.5.5 games. 

This is the first time this month that I have found two consonants with my first guess. This is is the 53rd consecutive month that I’ve had at least one such game. This is my first 5.5.5 game in which I have found two consonants with my first guess.

Okay, I think that’s enough. There’s more I could go on about but I think that’s enough.

Time 9:55

I spent most of my time on my third guess. I wanted a word that has five distinct letters for my third guess. I don’t usually play words like HURLS but I was impatient and decided it was worth a go after spending so much time searching. It looks like it was a good call even though I was and still am pretty sure that it hasn’t been and won’t ever be the answer.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4. I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 in all of the past 54 months.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 4 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 4 guesses in all of the past 54 months.

This is the 15th time during my current winning streak that I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 4 guesses. My only winning streaks in which this occurred more often are the four that lasted over 100 games.
