I’m pretty sure there was still a world of possible answers after my second guess. I got very lucky with my third guess. 

This is the first time this month and this streak that I have started a game with 0.3.2.

This is the third time I have had 5G games on consecutive days. I also had 5G games on consecutive days in Jul 2022 and Mar 2023.

Time: 2-3 minutes

This is my first 5G game this month and second 5G game this streak. This is the sixth consecutive month and third consecutive streak in which I have had at least one 5G game. There is just one month (for which I have complete records) that I don’t have a single 5G game, Dec 2022. 

This is the first time this month that my next to last guess is lacking any green letters. This tends to coincide with 5G games.

Time: 18-19 minutes

I probably spent 4-5 minutes on my third guess and more than 10 minutes on my fourth guess. I was convinced, after my third guess, that I should be the fourth letter in my next guess but I couldn’t think of anything that fit.

This is the fourth time in the past seven days that there had been a double letter in the answer. It is definitely unusual for this to happen with that sort of regularity.

There was another word that I considered playing for my fifth guess but it is a rude word in the UK so I figured that probably wouldn’t be the answer. 

This is the 100th game that I have finished in 5 guesses. I have started more than 40 percent of these games with 0.1.4. 

This is the 25th game in my current streak. I have finished all 25 games in 3, 4, or 5 guesses. My longest streak of games that I finished in 3, 4, or 5 guesses lasted for 49 games and was ended by a game that I finished in 2 guesses.

The downside to starting with more than one letter in the right place on your first guess is that it really ties your hands in terms of future guesses. I had to look at this one for a few minutes before I saw a possible second guess. It didn’t take me as long to come up with my third guess. 

This is just the seventh time I have started a game with 2.1.2 but it is the second time in the past three days that I have started with 2.1.2. I only started one game with 2.1.2 in my longest streak which lasted almost 9 times longer than my current streak. I still have yet to start more than one game in any calendar month with 2.1.2.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 JAZZY

Time: 6-7 minutes 

I considered trying MAMMY or PAPPY as my fourth guess. JAZZY seemed a bit out there but I liked the idea of the third and fourth letters being the same.

This is my 36th 0Y game but it is the first time I have started a month with a 0Y game. I have started 16 out of 36 of my 0Y games with 1.0.4 (16/36) which is more than any other way I have started a 0Y game. I have finished 10 out of 36 of my 0Y games in 4 guesses which is more than any other number of guesses.
