Time 9:55

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.

I have now tagged all my 0Y games that I finished successfully or unsuccessfully in 6 guesses with the 0Y-6G tag.

Time 18:30

I had a bad feeling about this game after my second guess. I was pretty sure at that point that the fourth letter was E but that left way too many possible answers. The only way I was going to get this one was if luck was on my side and it wasn’t.

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 is the first time that I have started a losing effort with 2.0.3.

This is my second 0Y game that ended in failure. The first one happened on 04/28/22.

Time 2:25

That was nuts! So close so many times. I probably should have gone with Plan B. I almost blew it but I don’t think that there were any other possibilities left by the time I got to my sixth guess. 

I checked after finishing the game and among my incorrect guesses only NINER and PINER have not been the solution in the past.

This is the first time I have had 25 letters of any one color in a game and the third time I have had 20 or more letters of any one color in a game. This is the second time that I have had 20 or more green letters in a game. The previous time this happened was on 03/28/22 when I had 21 green letters. The only other time I had 20 or more letters of a single color in a game was in the game that ended my ninth wining streak (16 games). I had 20 black letters in that game which happened on 05/09/23. The most yellow letters I have had in a game is 12 and that happened just once on 04/02/22.

This is the first time I have started a game with 4.0.1. This is the eighth time I have started a game with just one black letter. Five of the previous seven times that I have started a game with just one black letter the combination was 0.4.1. Once I have started a game with 2.2.1 and once with 1.3.1. I finished all seven of those games in 2 to 4 guesses.  

This is the second time during my current winning streak and sixth time overall that I have finished a 0Y game in 6 guesses. The only other winning streak in which I finished more than one 0Y game in 6 guesses was my third winning streak (95 games). My second winning streak (42 games) was ended by a 0Y game but that game is not included in my count of 0Y games that I finished in 6 guesses because I did not complete it successfully.

Time 6:45

I saw all sorts of possible answers were still out there after my third guess and decided to go with Plan B. It worked but I think I also got lucky.

I guessed correctly, after my third guess, that the third and fourth letters were probably the same but knew that it would be very likely wasteful to make them the same in my fourth guess.

My fourth guess seemed to narrow the possible answers down to two words. I thought of GULLY first so I tried that first. The rest is history.

This is the first time this month and tenth time overall that I have started a game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 6 guesses. 

This is the fifth time that I have finished a 0Y game in 6 guesses. This is the first time that I have finished a 0Y game in 6 guesses with an equal number of green and black letters. 

This is the first time this month and third time overall that I have started a 0Y game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 6 guesses. The last time I started a 0Y game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 6 guesses was 03/10/23.

This felt like the antithesis of yesterday’s game.

In retrospect it’s pretty cool that there was were no yellow letters but that fact also made it a little nerve wracking.

I considered trying Plan B but I didn’t really consider it for very long. It might have shortened the game by a guess and more than a couple minutes if I had gone that route. 

It didn’t occur to me until after my fifth guess that the answer might be ROVER. I was very close to trying JOKER as my final guess.

This is just the eleventh time I have started a game with 0.0.5 and successfully finished it in 6 guesses but it is the second time this has happened in three days. This is the first time I have started more than one game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 6 guesses in a single month.

This is my 65th 0Y game and my 30th 0Y game during my current winning streak. This is just the fifth time I have started a 0Y game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 6 guesses. This is the first time during my current winning streak that I have started a 0Y game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 6 guesses. 

The last time I started a 0Y game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 6 guesses was in Mar 2023.

This is the third consecutive game without finishing a game in 3, 4, or 5 guesses. This is the first time I have gone more than two consecutive games without finishing a game in 3, 4, or 5 guesses.

I had a little bit of trouble figuring out what my next guess should be early on. I wanted to try some other vowels, and I did, but I’m not sure how much that helped.

This is third 0Y game that it has taken me 6 guesses to complete. Both of the previous games happened in July 2022 and both of those games (like this one) started with at least one green letter.

This is my third 0Y game this month. This is the sixth time in the past nine months that I have managed to do that.

This is the second game in a row that has been a 0Y game. That’s the first time that has happened to me. This is the third 0Y game in the past four days. That is also a first for me.

Six of the past seven games have been 5G or 0Y games.

This is the third time I have had at least three 5G games and three 0Y games in the same month.

LIVER in 6

Started with 2 green and 3 grey. I went the distance without any yellow. The last and only other time I that happened was a fail. This is just my sixth game out of the past 128 games with no yellow. I was down to two possible words on the sixth guess. It was a real nail biter but I was pretty sure I was picking the right word.
