⬛️🟨🟨🟨🟨 TORAH

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 ABHOR

Time 19:30

My first three guesses took no time at all. The last two were a different story. I knew TORAH couldn’t be the answer but I tried it anyway because I knew it would help me to eliminate or identify two key letters. It still took me more than a few minutes to come up with ABHOR after my fourth guess. Were there any other possible answers at that point? I doubt it which is to say that I couldn’t find any.

This is the second time that I have finished a 5G game in 5 guesses. The previous time this happened was 01/20/23.

That’s it for October. Here are some stats.

My average score for this month was 4.06 guesses per game which is higher than my overall average of 4.03 but doesn’t seem excessively high.

I started 15 games in October with 0.1.4 which is only surpassed by the 17 games I started with 0.1.4 in Apr 2024.

I had two games in which the next to last guess consisted of four yellow letters and one black letter. This is the fourth time that has happened. I’ve never had more than two games in a calendar month in which my next to last guess had four yellow letters and one black letter.

I started and ended the month with 5G games. This is the first time that has happened.

All four times that I have ended the month with a 5G game it has been either June (2023, 2024) or October (2023, 2025).

This doesn’t happen very often but I can’t think of anything to say about this game.

It didn’t last very long.

There, I said something about it.

I feel as though I got very lucky with my fourth guess. There must have been a number of other possible answers at that point.

I checked after the fact, my second guess has not been the answer in the past but my first and third guesses have.

Time 1:55

Finding two consonants within my first two guesses helped immensely. I was almost certain that H had to be the first letter after my second guess which helped to narrow the possible answers quite a bit.

This is the 10th time this month that I have finished a game in 4 guesses. This is the fifth consecutive month that I have finished at least 10 games in 4 guesses. I have finished at least 10 games in 4 guesses in 35 of the past 44 months.

This the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 4 guesses. This is the 19th 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 40 of the past 44 months.

This game completes my bingo card for my seven most common start / finish combinations for this month. This is the 22nd time in 44 months that I have hit all seven of those start / finish combinations at least once in a calendar month.

I spent most of my time on my third guess. I’m not sure how many other possible answers there were at that point but that’s the first one I found that had five different letters.

This is my third 5G game this month, all of which I have finished in 3 guesses. I have finished 80 percent (12/15) of my 5G games during my current winning streak in 3 guesses. Across all games I have played to date, I have finished 50 percent (45/90) of my 5G games in 3 guesses.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 GAUGE

Time 5:25

I think that there was only one possible answer after my fourth guess but I spent a minute or more, after GAUGE occurred to me, toying with the available letters trying to see if there was anything I was overlooking.

This is the first time this month that I have started a 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 29 of the past 44 months.
