Placing the letter U in the same place in my second guess as in the first was an oversight on my part. 

I have finished more games in 4 guesses than any other number of guesses and yet this is the first time this month that I have finished a game in 4 guesses.

This game ends a streak of games 8 games without finishing a game in 4 guesses. This ties a mark that I have reached twice before. The other two times I had a streak of 8 games without finishing a game in 4 guesses happened in Jul 2022 and Feb 2023.

Looking back on it now I suppose there are several letters that I could have started my second guess with and probably wound up with the same result. I’m not sure why I chose to start it with E. 

This is the second time this month and third time this streak that I have started a game with 0.3.2. This is the fourth time this month and eighth time this streak that I have finished a game in 3 guesses.

Having two letters locked in place with my first guess gave me less room to maneuver which explains why it took me as long as it did to finish this game. 

This is the second time in the past three days that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 3 guesses without any yellow letters.

This is the 15th time I have started a game with 2.0.3. Most of the games (9/15) that I have started with 2.0.3 wind up being 0Y games.

This is my 35th 0Y game. Games that start with 2.0.3 account for about a quarter (9/35) of my 0Y games to date.

My two longest streaks are the only other streaks in which I have started games with 2.0.3.

Yikes! That was close. Once again I got to a point (after my fourth guess) where I saw more possible answers (3) than there were guesses left (2).

The last time I started a game with 1.0.4 was on Apr 19. The last time it took me 6 guesses to finish a game was on Apr 25. The last time I started a game with 1.0.4 and it took me 6 guesses to finish the game was on Jan 21.

I usually finish games (49/57) that start with 1.0.4 in 3, 4, or 5 guesses.

I didn’t have to think too long and hard to come up with my second guess but it didn’t come to mind immediately. 

The last time I started with 0.3.2 was on Apr 23. The last time I started with 0.3.2 and finished in 2 guesses was on Mar 8. 

This is the first game I have finished in two guesses since Mar 25.

This is just the third time that a 5G game has coincided with a game that I finished in 2 guesses. Usually (22/27) it takes me 3 or 4 guesses to finish games that wind up being 5G games. Usually (14/17) I get at least one green letter on my first guess in games that I finish in 2 guesses. 

This is the first time I have finished a game in 2 guesses on the first of the month. It is also the first time I have gotten a 5G on the first day of the month. Hopefully I haven’t used up all my luck for the month with this one game.
