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.

I spent probably more than 5 minutes on my third guess. I only came up with one possible answer.

This is my second 5.5.5 game this month and fifth one overall. This is the first time that I have had more than one 5.5.5 game in a calendar month.

This is my seventh 5G game during my current winning streak. I also had seven 5G games during my third (95 games) and eleventh (93 games) winning streaks.

Time: 3-4 minutes

I spent most of my time on my third guess. At first I was looking for a word that began with G.

This is the second time that I have had a 5.5.5 game (5 green, 5 yellow, 5 black). The last time this happened was Mar 19, 2023. That time around I started with 0.2.3 and my second guess was 0.3.2.

This is the second time I have had an equal number of green, yellow, and black letters. There are two combinations (5.5.5 and 10.10.10) that could yield such a result but I have yet to have a 10.10.10 game.

This is the third time I have had back to back games that started with 0.1.4 and that took me 3 guesses to finish. I’ve never started more than two consecutive games with 0.1.4 that I finished in 3 guesses.

This is my third 5G game this month. I have finished all three of my 5G games this month in 3 guesses. This is the third time that I have finished three 5G games in a calendar month in 3 guesses. The two other times this happened were in Jul 2022 and Jun 2023. Both previous times I had at least one more 5G game during the month, which I didn’t finish in 3 guesses. 

This is the second 5G game this month that I have started with 0.1.4 and finished in 3 guesses. This is the second time that I have had two 5G games in a calendar month that I started with 0.1.4 and finished in 3 guesses. The other time this happened was in Jun 2023. 

Almost 40 percent (21/55) of my 5G games have started with 0.1.4. Two-thirds (14/21) of my 5G games that have begun with 0.1.4 have occurred during my current winning streak. The other third (7/21) of my 5G games that started with 0.1.4 occurred during my eighth winning streak (213 games).

I spent most of my time during this game trying to come up with a word that fit for my third guess.

This is my fifth 5G game this month. This is the second time that I have had that many 5G games in a month. I have never had more than five 5G games in a month.

This is the first time I have finished a game in three guesses with exactly 5 green, 5 yellow, and 5 black letters.
