This is the third time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 5 guesses. I have finished all my games this month that I have started with 0.0.5 in 5 guesses. I have started all my games this month with 0.0.5 that I have finished in 5 guesses.

My average number of guesses this month is currently 4.57, well above my worst overall average.

🟨🟩⬛️⬛️🟨 LOOKY
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 POLYP

Time: 10-11 minutes

This game took a little while but I didn’t spend too much on my final guess. I think I spent most of my time formulating my third and fourth guesses.

This is the first time this month that my next to last guess has included yellow letters.

This is the second time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5. This is the second time this month that I have finished a game in 5 guesses. This is the second time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 5 guesses.

Wordle 777

⬛️🟨⬛️⬛️🟨 PATIO
⬛️🟨🟨⬛️⬛️ ROACH
⬛️⬛️🟩🟨⬛️ GLOAM
🟩⬛️🟩⬛️🟩 AWOKE
🟩⬛️🟩🟩🟩 ABODE
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 ANODE

Time: 5-6 minutes

I thought about playing ANODE as my fifth guess but because I was running out of guesses I thought about it a little more. I came up with ABODE which seemed like a better guess to me so I went with that instead.

This is the first time this month that it has taken me 6 guesses to finish a game. This is the 10th consecutive month that I have finished at least one game in 6 guesses. The last time it took me 6 guesses to finish a game I also started that game with 0.2.3. 

I have started 98 games with 0.2.3. It is the second most common way for me to start a game but this is just the sixth time I have started a game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 6 guesses.

6-777-88: I finished this game in 6 guesses. This is Wordle 777. This the 88th game in my current streak.

Wordle 776

⬛️⬛️🟩🟩⬛️ BLARE
🟩🟩🟩🟩⬛️ CHARD
🟩🟩🟩🟩⬛️ CHARM
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 CHART

Time: 1-2 minutes

My fourth guess should have been my third guess. I thought of CHART but then I thought of CHARM. Usually I go with words in the order that I think of them.

This is my first game this month that has started with 2.0.3. This is the fourth consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 2.0.3. 

The last time I started a game with 2.0.3 and finished in 4 guesses was on Mar 9. I have finished more games in 4 guesses than either 3 or 5 guesses by quite a wide margin but I have finished more games that began with 2.0.3 in 3 guesses (7) and 5 guesses (5) than I have in 4 guesses (4). 

This is my first 0Y game this month. This is the 17th month in a row that I have had at least one 0Y game. 

This is my tenth 0Y game that began with 2.0.3 and my twelfth 0Y game that I finished in 4 guesses. This is the second 0Y game that began with 2.0.3 and that I finished in 4 guesses. The other 0Y game that I began with 2.0.3 and finished in 4 guesses happened on Mar 9. The answer that day was WHERE, which seems appropriate considering that the answer today was CHART.

⬛️🟨⬛️⬛️⬛️ STENO
⬛️🟩⬛️🟩⬛️ FAITH
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 PARTY

Time: 2-3 minutes

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4. I have yet to have a month in which I do not start at least five games with 0.1.4. There are three other starts (0.2.3, 1.0.4, 1.1.3) that have happened every month since I started playing but none of them has happened quite as frequently as 0.1.4.

Wordle 774

⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ FISHO
🟨⬛️⬛️⬛️🟨 TAUPE
⬛️🟩🟨⬛️⬛️ RETRY
🟩🟩⬛️🟩🟩 BENET
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 BEGET

Time: 19-20 minutes

It felt like this game took forever. I spent a fair amount of time on my third guess. I wanted a word that had five distinct letters but I couldn’t think of one so I went with the first word that came to mind. I think it took me even longer to come up with my fourth guess. I didn’t think my fourth guess was a word but I was very happy with how close it got me to the answer. 

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5. This is the sixth consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.0.5.

This is the second time in the past seven days that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 5 guesses.

This seems like a fairly standard way to start the month. Starting with 0.2.3 and finishing in 4 guesses is currently my second most commonly occurring combination of start and finish. I have finished an average of 2.88 games per month in 4 guesses that I started with 0.2.3 in the past 16 months.
