Wordle 810

🟩⬛️⬛️🟩⬛️ DOULA
🟩⬛️⬛️🟩🟩 DRILL
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 DWELL

Time: 2-3 minutes

The first possibility that occurred to me after my first guess was DRILL but then I also thought of DWELL. I hesitated because neither word used both remaining vowels and because both had two Ls. After thinking about it for a minute or two it occurred to me that I couldn’t think of any words that fit that had both vowels and just one L so I tried both words in the order they occurred to me. 

This is the fifth consecutive month that I have started at least one game begin with 2.0.3. The last time I started a game with 2.0.3 was on Aug 4. The last time I started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 3 guesses was on Jul 30. The game from Aug 4 was a 0Y game but the game from Jul 30 was not. 

This is my second 0Y game this month.

This is the 20th time I have started a game with 2.0.3. This is the eighth time I have started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 3 guesses.

Wordle 809

⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ DEBIT
⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️🟩 POUCH
⬛️🟨⬛️⬛️🟩 RAJAH
⬛️⬛️🟩🟩🟩 FLASH
⬛️⬛️🟩🟩🟩 SMASH
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 GNASH

Time: 5-6 minutes

I was thinking of trying a word that ended in ASH for my third guess but then I thought of RAJAH and decided to go with that. I might have finished the game in 5 guesses if FLASH had been my third guess but maybe not. I think I might have wanted to try AWASH as my fourth guess if I had gone that way so maybe be I wouldn’t have finished the game any faster. I didn’t even think of GNASH until after my fifth guess. 

This is the second time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5. This is the first time this month that it has taken me 6 guesses to finish a game. This is just the seventh time that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 6 guesses. The last time it took me 6 guesses to finish a game that began with 0.0.5 was on Jul 10.

🟩⬛️⬛️⬛️🟩 AMORT
🟩⬛️🟩⬛️🟩 ADAPT
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 AWAIT

Time: 6-7 minutes

This is my first 0Y game this month. This is the 18th consecutive month that I have had at least one 0Y game.

This is my 45th 0Y game. I have started almost half (21/45) of my 0Y games with 1.0.4 which is more than double any other start for 0Y games. I started the only 0Y game that I failed to complete correctly with 1.0.4. 

This is the 14th time I have finished a 0Y game in 4 guesses. The combination of starting with 1.0.4 and finishing in 4 guesses occurs more frequently than any other in my 0Y games and accounts for almost 20 percent (8/45) of my 0Y games.
