⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️🟩 WEIGH

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 BOOTH

Time 4:00

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.

This is the 50th time that I have finished a 0Y game in 4 guesses.

Time 18:15

Maybe if I had tried a word that included the letter P in my second or third guess then I might have finished in less than 5 guesses but I’m not so sure about that. PIZZA was the only word that I could come up with after my fourth guess that fit. I only thought about it for maybe 10-15 seconds (just in case there were any other words that fit) before giving it a try.

This is the first time this month and 53rd consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.1.4.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 5 guesses. This is the fourth consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 5 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 5 guesses in 50 of the past 53 months.

This is the first time this month, second time this week, and 18th time overall that I have found only one letter in the first 3 guesses. This is the second time that I have had this happen twice in 5 days. The previous time it happened twice in five days was in Apr 2025.

That was close but I’m pretty sure that there was just one possible answer after my fifth guess.

This is the 13th time that I have had a game in which there was more than 16 black letters. This is the fourth time this year this has happened. It happened five times in 2025 and four times prior to that. Six of the 14 times it has happened have been games that I did not complete successfully. It has only happened once in a game that didn’t go the distance.

This is the second time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and successfully finished it in 6 guesses. This is the fourth time that I have had this happen twice in a calendar month. I’ve never had it happen more than twice in a calendar month.

This is the first and only time this month that I have only found one letter from the answer in my first three guesses. This is the sixth time this year and 18th time overall that this has happened. The last time it happened was 04/24/26.

Games played: 1589

Winning streak: 47

That’s it for June. My average score for June was 4.43, my third highest monthly average.

I finished ten more games in 5 or 6 guesses than I did in 1 to 3 guesses. That’s only exceeded by Jul 2025 when that count was 13 games. This is the sixth consecutive month that I have finished more games in 5 or 6 guesses than I have in 1 to 3 guesses. Prior to now I had never had this happen more that three months in a row.

I only finished two games in 3 guesses this month. That’s the fewest number of games I have ever finished in 3 guesses in a calendar month. I usually finish seven or eight games per month in 3 guesses.

I finished 90 percent (27/30) of my games this month in less than 10 minutes but none in under a minute. -Here are some more stats.

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.

I really had to work for this one. I played 22 of the 26 letters before it was over. The only letters I didn’t try were F, Q, X, and Z. This is the first time I have tried more than 21 different letters in a game.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 6 guesses. This is the 20th time I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 6 guesses.

This is the fourth time this year and the 16th time overall that I have found just one letter in my first three guesses. This is just the fourth time this has happened and that my first two guesses have been nothing but black letters.

There were more than 16 black letters in this game. This is the 13th time that I have had more than 16 black letters in a game. My game yesterday also had more than 16 black letters. This is the first time that has happened in back to back games.

I spent most of my time on my third guess. I would have preferred to make it a word that ended in Y and only had one vowel but I couldn’t come up with any that fit that criteria.

This is the 19th time that I have started a game with nothing but black letters in my first two guesses and the 15th time that I have found just one letter in my first three guesses but it is only the third time that both things have occurred in the same game. The other two times this happened were 06/08/24 and 04/19/25.

I feel as though I got very lucky with my fourth guess. It did not come to mind until after my third guess.

This is the fifth time that my next to last guess has been 1.0.4 and that I have finished in 4 guesses while playing in hard mode or as if the game was set to hard mode. The four prior times this happened were 07/17/22, 07/24/23, 07/17/24, and 02/13/26.

Time 10:20

GUAVA was one of the possible answers I considered while I was trying to decide what my fourth guess should be.

Walking backwards through my past four games, my first guess today was the same as my first guess yesterday. My second guess today was the same as my first guess two days ago. My third guess today was the same as my first guess three days ago. My fourth guess today was the same as my second guess four days ago. My fifth guess today blah, blah, blah.

This is the fourth anniversary of the day I started playing Wordle. I didn’t start keeping track of every game I played until 03/10/22 so I don’t have a record of my very first game but that’s what I recall. Yesterday would have been my 1461st game except for the fact that I skipped playing one day somewhere between 02/22/22 and 03/10/22. I don’t recall exactly what day it was that I skipped playing but I think it was during February.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 MOOCH

Time 4:10

I thought of MOOCH as a possible answer when I was working on my second guess but I didn’t try it then because it had two Os. It seemed more likely that it could be the answer after my third guess.

This is only the fourth time that my next to last guess has been 1.0.4 and that I have finished the game in 4 guesses. The first of those games happened on 06/22/23 and was a Plan B game so it looked nothing like today’s game. The second happened on 07/24/23 and started with 0.0.5 and looked not too dissimilar from today’s game. The third happened on 07/17/24 and looked fairly similar to today’s game.

Time 4:35

There were probably other directions I could have gone in after my third guess. I’m very happy that my fourth guess paid off but looking back on it now it feels like I was taking a very big risk. I really would have been kicking myself if the result of my fourth guess turned out the same as the results of my second and third guesses.

I checked after the fact and my first four guesses have all been the answer in the past.

This is the 12th time that I have got 3 guesses into a game and only found 1 letter from the answer. This is the third time it has happened this year and the first time it has happened during my current winning streak.

For the first time since Sep 2023 there is a tie (108 games each) between the two second most common start / finish combinations that I have had, 0.1.4 / 5 guesses and 0.2.3 / 4 guesses. The latter had been in the lead since late Sep 2023. The high mark for 0.2.3 / 4 guesses got to as much as 11 games ahead of the competition during that run. Prior to that there was a long stretch where 0.1.4 / 5 guesses was in the lead with the high water mark being 7 games ahead as well as times where it remained very close to or exactly dead even, with 0.2.3 / 4 guesses occasionally taking the lead but not in a big way. I could go into greater detail but I think I’ve spent enough time and words on this.

Time 11:15

I spent most of my time, probably more than nine minutes, on my fifth guess. I didn’t consider that the answer might start with O until just before I stumbled upon OZONE.

The first word that popped into my head after my fourth guess was BOOZE. I was about to try that but then I realized that it didn’t have an N. In retrospect, I probably would have finished this game much faster if BOOZE had been my fifth guess. 

This is the second time this month that I have only found one letter that is in the answer in my first three guesses. This the second time this has happened more than once in a calendar month. The other time this happened twice in a calendar month was in July 2023.

Time 17:25

I didn’t think my fifth guess was a word but I decided to give it a try anyway. I really wasn’t sure about my final guess. I didn’t even consider it as a possibility until I got that far.

This is the second time I have had a game that went the distance and in which the distribution of letters was 9.2.19. The other time this happened was on 12/29/24 in the game that ended my twelfth winning streak (61 games).

This is the tenth time that I have had nothing but black letters in my first two guesses. This is the tenth time that I have only found one of the letters in the answer in my first three guesses. This is just the second time that both of these things have occurred in the same game. The other time this happened was on 06/08/24.

Oddly enough, I have managed to complete every game successfully that has started with all black letters in my first two guesses and every game in which I have only found one of the letters in the answer in my first three guesses.

This is the second time this month and this year that it has taken me more than 15 minutes to finish a game. This is the first time since Nov 2023 that I have had a month in which I had multiple games that lasted over 15 minutes.

This is the eighth time that I have gotten three guesses into a game and only found one letter that was in the answer. So far I have managed to find the answer each and every time that this has happened. All but one of these games have taken me five or six guesses to complete.

Time: 13-14 minutes

My first three guesses went fairly quickly. After that I was stumped for several minutes. I probably would have tried HENCE as my fourth guess if I had thought of it then but it took me forever to get there, even after my fourth guess.

This is the seventh time that I have gotten three guesses into a game and only found one letter. 

This is the sixth time that my first two guesses consisted of nothing but black letters. I successfully completed all six of those games. Three of those games happened during my current winning streak. Three of those games were 0Y games but this is the only one that was a 0Y game during my current winning streak.

This is the first time that my first two guess have consisted of nothing but black letters and my third guess had four black letters. 

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 5 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 5 guesses in 17 of the past 28 months. 

This is the first time this month and fourth time overall that I have started a 0Y game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 5 guesses. Three of the four 0Y games that I have started with 0.0.5 and finished in 5 guesses have happened during my current winning streak. The other one happened during my eighth winning streak (213 games).

This is my third consecutive game that has been either a 5G or 0Y game. The only other time I have had three consecutive games that were some combination of 5G or 0Y games was in Mar 2023.

Time: 14-15 minutes

I paused after my third guess. I saw considerably more than three possible answers. I considered going with Plan B but after thinking about it for a while I came up with MOLDY. I think that saved me. The only possible answers I could envision after that were my fifth and sixth guesses.

JOLLY was one of the possible answers that came to mind after my third guess but there were so many others. I felt as though JOLLY didn’t have the potential to eliminate enough possible answers to go with it at that point.

I almost always find at least two letters in my first three guesses. This is just the sixth time that I have only found one letter in my first three guesses. I finished all six of those games successfully. Five of them happened during my current winning streak.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 6 guesses. This is the tenth time that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 6 guesses.

I have started four of the past five games with 0.0.5. This is the first time that has happened.

This is is the first game this month in which my next-to-last guess was 1.0.4. This is just the sixth time that my next-to-last guess was 1.0.4. All six games in which my next-to-last guess was 1.0.4 have happened in different months.

I also considered playing POPPY or MOMMY as my fourth guess but I went with HOPPY because of the potential to eliminate more letters. I also considered playing POTTY as my fourth guess. It would have gotten me closer to the solution than HOPPY did but it also would have guaranteed that this would not have been a 0Y game for me. 

This is the fourteenth time I have started a game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 5 guesses. The last time I started a game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 5 guesses was on Feb 27. 

This is my second 0Y game this month and third one this streak. I finished the two previous 0Y games in 4 guesses. 

Almost half of my 0Y games (18/38) have started with 1.0.4. I have finished fewer than one-sixth (6/38) of my 0Y games in 5 guesses. This is just the fourth 0Y game that I have started with 1.0.4 and finished in 5 guesses.
