My 15th winning streak (73 games), which ended in late April 2025, contrasts greatly with my current one. My average score was 4.00 versus 4.27 during my current winning streak. My +/- 4 score was -1 versus -16 during my current winning streak. I finished 20 games in 3 guesses versus 8 during my current winning streak. I finished 22 games in 4 guesses versus 35 during my current winning streak.

SHILL probably should have been my fourth guess. I had not tried H yet. I’m not sure wh I waited as long as I did to try it.

This is the fifth time that I have finished back to back games in 6 guesses. I have never finished three games in a row in 6 guesses.

I don’t plan on making a habit of playing words like DRIPS but this time I wanted to and it did help.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and successfully finished it in 6 guesses. This is the second month in a row that I have started at least one game with 0.0.5 and successfully finished it in 6 guesses.

This is the third time during my current winning streak that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and successfully finished it in 6 guesses. My 10th winning streak (443 games) was the only one in which which this happened more times than during my current winning streak. I was 204 games into my 10th winning streak when it happened for the third time.

Time 19:05

It was smart of me to turn off hard mode but I should have done it sooner and also I got lucky.

I probably should have turned off hard mode after my third guess. My fifth guess, in retrospect was not a very good one even though it did get me the D. A better fifth guess would probably have been VIBED. I would have been much more confident about making DIVER my sixth guess if VIBED had been my fifth one.

Getting back to reality, even after my fifth guess I saw at least three possible answers. DIVER was the first one that popped into my head so that’s the one I went with but I agonized over it quite a bit before finally giving it a try. Other possibilities I considered at that point were WIDER and RIDER. According to Wordlebot there was another possible word, EIDER.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and successfully finished it in 6 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and successfully finished it in 6 guesses in 32 of the past 53 games.

Words cannot describe how relieved I am that my first guess didn’t in any way predict my performance in this game.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 2.0.3. This is the third month in a row that I have started at least one game with 2.0.3. I have started at least one game with 2.0.3 in 39 of the past 53 months.

This is the first time this month and second month in a row that I have started at least one game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 4 guesses. This is the 14th time that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 4 guesses.

This is the 11th 0Y game during my current winning streak. This ties the number of 0Y games during my 17th winning streak (133 games). The only winning streaks in which I have had more 0Y games than during my current streak are the three that lasted over 200 games each.

This is the third 0Y game I have had in the past four days. The only other time I have had this happen was in March 2023 (Mar 9, 10, 12). I once  had 0Y games on three consecutive days. It happened in February 2025 (Feb 19-21).

Three of the four words I played today are words that I have never played in the past. WEIGH is the only one that I have played before and this is the seventh time I have tried it. It was the answer the fifth time I played it, earlier this year, on 02/03/26.

This is the second time this month and 21st time overall that I have found just one letter in my first three guesses. This the third time that such a game has also been a 0Y game.

This is the seventh time that my next to last guess has been 1.0.4 and that I finished in 4 guesses. This is the first time that my next to last guess has been 1.0.4 and that I finished in 4 guesses and that it has been a 0Y game.

⬛️⬛️🟨⬛️⬛️ 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.

BUTTE came to mind almost immediately after my third guess but I probably spent more than a minute trying to think of other words before giving it a try.

This is the fourth consecutive game I have started with 0.0.5. This is the second time I have started four consecutive games with 0.0.5. I have never started more than four consecutive games with 0.0.5. The first time I started four consecutive games with 0.0.5 was at the end of Sep 2025.

This is the second time I have had a 0Y game that consisted of 8 green and 12 black letters. The first time this happened was 10/03/22. I also started that game with 0.0.5 but the placement of green and black letters in that game was different.

Games played: 1605

Winning streak: 63

I finally decided to pay for the NYT games subscription.

Wordlebot didn’t like my first guess. It said my second guess was a good one but they favored a word that had two vowels, SLATE. According to them BUTTE was the only possible answer after my third guess.

I have to say that I think their analyses to be a mixed bag. I don’t understand the why they put such weight on figuring out what vowels are in the solution. There are only five vowels. There are 21 consonants to sort through while searching for the solution. I think it makes more sense to focus on the consonants first. The vowels are secondary in my mind.

This is the second time that STOUT has been the answer. The first time that STOUT was the answer was in Jun 2021, before I started playing. This is the second repeat answer this month. I expect that there will be at least one more before the end of July.

This is the first time this month, seventh time this year, and 23rd time overall that I have had nothing but black letters in my first two guesses. The last time it happened was exactly two months ago, the last game of my previous winning streak. I still have yet to lose a game that begins in this manner.

In both of those cases the first game that I started with 1.2.2 and finished with in 2 guesses happened over 100 games into the winning streak.

This is my first 5G game this month that I finished in 3 guesses. I have finished at least one 5G game in 3 guesses in 30 of the past 52 months. This is the 15th time I have started a 5G game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 3 guesses.

I wasn’t sure if my second or third guesses would be playable words as they are both French words but I guess they are also English words. I would have tried something else for my fourth guess but I couldn’t find anything else that fit.

This is the second time this month and 25th time overall that I have started a 0Y game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 4 guesses. This is my most common start / finish combination for 0Y games but this is just the second time that it has occurred twice in 0Y games in a calendar month.

Time 4:50

I was thinking of trying a word that ended with TE for my third guess but nothing came to mind at that time. I’m not sure how many possible answers there were after my third guess. I went with the first one I found that fit.

ACUTE has been the answer once before, in Dec 2021, before I started playing. This is the third time this month and 17th time overall that the answer has been the answer once before.

This is the 19th consecutive game that I have failed to finish in 3 guesses. This is the second time that I have gone 19 consecutive days without finishing a game in 3 guesses. I have never gone longer than this without finishing a game in 3 guesses. The last time (the only other time) this happened was a little over a month ago. That streak reached its height on 05/10/26. Unlike my current streak, that streak included one game I finished in 2 guesses.

This is my second 5G game this month and the first time this month that I have finished a 5G game in 4 guesses.

This is the 10th consecutive game that I have finished in 4 or 5 guesses. This is the second time that I have finished 10 consecutive games in 4 or 5 guesses. The previous time this happened was in Mar 2026. I have never finished more than 10 consecutive games in 4 or 5 guesses.

A year ago, as recently as 06/23/25, I had finished 64 more games in 3 guesses than I had in 5 guesses. That was the high point for this variance. Since then it has been cut in half and now stands at 32 games.

Time 22:30

I considered making my third guess VIDEO but at that point I wanted to play a word with three consonants and two vowels. EMOJI wasn’t on my radar screen until I saw that it was a possibility. I was 4 guesses and over 22 minutes into this game at that point. Given my lack of success in finding any other word that fit, I didn’t think about it very much before giving it a try.

This is my first 5G game in over 6 weeks, 44 days to be precise. My longest streak without a 5G game lasted over 8 weeks, 59 days to be precise. This was my fourth longest streak without a 5G game.

This is my first 5G game this month. This is the 12th consecutive month that I have had at least one 5G game. I have had at least one 5G game in 47 of the past 52 months.

This is my 106th 5G game but this is just the seventh time that it has taken me 5 guesses to complete a 5G game. Six of those seven games have happened in the past 9 months. I have yet to complete a 5G game in 6 guesses.

This is the first game this month that it has taken me over 20 minutes to complete.

I have added the 5G-5G tag to all the 5G games that I have completed in 5 guesses.

This is my second 12345 game this month, third one this year, and 23rd one overall. This is the second time that I have had a 12345 game that had just eight green letters. I’ve never had a 12345 game with fewer than eight green letters.

I probably should have gone with Plan B. I’m kind of incredulous that I got this one.

After my second guess I thought that maybe I should have tried AMPLE instead of ANKLE. It would have got me the M and I might have finished the game in fewer guesses.

I considered making AWARE my second guess.

I’m not sure if there were any other possible answers after my fifth guess.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 2.0.3. This is the second month in a row that I have started at least one game with 2.0.3. I have started at least one game with 2.0.3 in 38 of the past 52 months.

This is the fourth time that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and successfully finished it in 6 guesses. This is the seventh 0Y game that it has taken me 6 guesses to successfully complete. This is the second time that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and that it has been a 0Y game and that it has taken me 6 guesses to complete. The first time it happened was 07/12/22.

One letter can make a big difference. If my second guess had been CRISP then I might have finished this game faster although I doubt that SEPIA would have been been my third guess under those circumstances. 

I tried quite a few words that were not in the list of playable words. I fully expected POPIA to be rejected for that reason.

This is the 25th game of my current winning streak. This is my sixth consecutive winning streak to last at least 25 games. Twelve of my 19 winning streaks have made it to the 25 game mark.

My average score for this streak is 4.13 guesses per game. This is my third highest average score for the first 25 games of winning streaks that have reached at least 25 games.

I have yet to have a 5G game during my current winning streak. This is the second time that I have not had a 5G game during the first 25 games of a winning streak.

I started eight games with 1.0.4 during the first 25 games of my current winning streak. That’s considerably higher than my previous high mark of five. I usually start about 3.6 games per month with 1.0.4 so 8/25 seems much higher than average.

I usually don’t try words with just four different letters on my second guess but considering the placement of the L and the fact that it was green I felt the need to determine if there was a second L in the answer ASAP.

The possibilities seemed kind of limited after my third guess and yet it still took me at least a few minutes to figure out what to play next.

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 second month in a row that I have started at least one game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 4 guesses.

I am five days into the month and so far I have an average score of 5 guesses per game. This is the highest average number of guesses per game for the first five days of the month that I have ever had. The only other time that my average number of guesses per game has been this high (for the first five days of the month) in the past was in Apr 2026.

I thought that BASIC might have been the answer in the past.

Winning streak: 17

That does it for the month of May. I finished the month with an average score 4.29, not my worst ever but that’s pretty high for me. This is the fifth consecutive month that my average score has been over 4 guesses per game.

This is the second time that I have had an average score of 4 or more guesses per game in five consecutive months. The last time this happened was Jul to Nov 2023 but in that stretch I had an average score of exactly 4 one month and 4.03 another month. This time around my lowest monthly average score was 4.19.

No surprise here, given what I just pointed out, but for the fifth month in a row my +/- 4 score is negative. My cumulative score was +6 at the end of 2025. It is now -25.

A week into this month it looked like I was on pace to finish 20 games in 5 guesses. I only made it to 10 games in 5 guesses. Five times in seven days was a fluke. Ten times in 31 days was on the high side but not a fluke. Overall I usually finish about 7 games per month in 5 guesses.

This is the first time this month and 27th time overall that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 3 guesses.

This is the third time time I have started a game with 0.0.5, gotten just one letter with my second guess, and got the answer with my third guess. The other two times this happened were 08/29/24 and 09/06/25.

This is the eleventh time that I have started a 0Y game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 3 guesses. The last time it happened was 01/23/26.

This is the fourth time this month that I have started a game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 4 guesses. This is the second time that I have seen this start/ finish combination occur four times in a calendar month. The last month in which it occurred four times was Jun 2023.

POUCH did not occur to me when I was working on my second guess but I wonder now if my second guess had been POUCH if I would have finished this one in 3 guesses. Probably not because I probably would have tried either TOUCH or VOUCH first.

This is the 10th time this month that I have finished a game in 4 guesses. This is the 11th consecutive month that I have finished at least 10 games in 4 guesses. I have finished at least 10 games in 4 guesses in 42 of the past 51 months.

This is the first 0Y game of my current winning streak. This is the 12th consecutive winning streak in which I have had at least one 0Y game. I have had at least one 0Y game in 18 of my 19 winning streaks. The only winning streak in which I did not have a 0Y game was my seventh (3 games).

There were a lot of possible answers that occurred to me but WAVER was not one of them. Even if WAGER had been my fifth guess there’s a good chance that my sixth guess would have been WADER.

This is the sixth of my winning streak breakers to be a word that ends in ER. That’s one-third (6/18) of my winning streak breakers that ended in ER.

This game will probably end quite a few winning streaks. I thought it might end mine after I saw the results of my fifth guess.

Three of my first five guesses have been the answer in the past. My second, third, and sixth guesses have not been the answer in the past.

The cumulative +/- 4 is now up to 16. That is the total number of games I have finished in over 4 guesses (win or lose) is for the moment 16 higher than the number of games I have finished in under 4 guesses. This is the highest it has ever been and just the second time it has been this high. The last time it was 16 was on 10/22/22.

This is my second 14.2.14 game this month and just my sixth one overall. The previous one occurred just four days ago. They usually don’t cluster together like this. See my game from 04/23/26 for a little more on previous 14.2.14 games.

I feel as though there must have been other possible answers after my third guess but I just went with the first one I found.

This is the 10th time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5. This is the second time that I have started at least 10 games with 0.0.5 with a calendar month. The other month in which this happened was Nov 2025.

This is the 10th time this month that I have finished a game in 4 guesses. This is the 10th consecutive month that I have finished at least 10 games in 4 guesses. I have finished at least 10 games in 4 guesses in 41 of the past 50 months.

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.
