My streak of games which begin with 3 or 4 black letters continues.

This is my 500th game. Here are some statistics. 

5G = game in which there are no green letters until the final guess when all 5 letters are green

0Y = game in which there are no yellow letters, only green and black

Maybe I should have picked a word with more than one vowel in it for my second guess? That would have been the safe thing to do but I got lucky so I guess this time I got away with it. 

This is the 14th consecutive game that I have had 3 or 4 black letters in my first guess. That’s a new high mark for me.

This is my first 0Y game this month. This is the 16th consecutive month that I have had at least one 0Y game. 

My last 0Y game occurred on Jun 1. I went 34 days without a 0Y game which ties the high mark that I set in Mar-Apr 2022.

I rushed through my first three guesses. I took my time with the last three guesses.

This is the first time this month and second time this streak that I have finished a game in 6 guesses. I finished 7.9 percent of my games prior to this streak in 6 guesses. I have finished 3.7 percent of my games during this steak in 6 guesses. That seems like a pretty significant difference but past performance (in this streak and overall) may not be an accurate indicator of future returns.
