I’m not sure why this game took me so long.

I started this game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 5 guesses. That is (at the moment) the second most common combination of start and finish. It has occurred 45 times in the 490 games for which I have complete records.

Here are the Top 5 combinations.

Start        Finish        Count
0.1.4        4                60
0.1.4        5                45

Wordle 751

⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ RAPID
⬛️🟩⬛️⬛️⬛️ MOUSE
🟨🟩⬛️⬛️🟩 LOONY
⬛️🟩🟩🟩🟩 GOLLY
⬛️⬛️⬛️🟨⬛️ CHAFE
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 FOLLY

Time: 7 minutes

I could see after my fourth guess that there were at least three possible answers: FOLLY, HOLLY, and JOLLY. I had to take evasive maneuvers which meant that there was no way I would finish the game in 5 guesses. That’s life. 

This is the first time this streak, second time this year, and sixth time overall that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and successfully finished it in 6 guesses. The last time I started a game with 0.0.5 and successfully finished it in 6 guesses was on Apr 18. 

This is the first time in the 488 games for which I have complete records that my next to last guess has been 0.1.4.

Wordle 750

⬛️🟨⬛️🟨⬛️ DEARY
⬛️⬛️⬛️🟩🟩 LOSER
⬛️⬛️⬛️🟩🟩 FIVER
⬛️🟨🟩🟩🟩 PETER
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 ENTER

Time: 7-8 minutes

This game took a little longer in part due to the fact that I experienced technical difficulties with the web site after my third guess. Maybe I should have paused the timer but I didn’t. It probably added 3 or 4 minutes to the length of this game.

I got a little nervous after my third guess when I only knew that the answer ended in ER and I didn’t have any other letters. 

This is the first time this streak that I have started a game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 5 guesses. The last time I started a game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 5 guesses was on Mar 14. 

I started 22 games between Mar 14 and Jul 9 with 0.2.3 and finished all of them in 3 or 4 guesses.
