I paused after my third guess because I wasn’t sure how many possible answers there were at that point. I counted three so I took a chance tried the first one that occurred to me. 

This is the first game this month that started with 0.1.4. This is the first game this month that I have finished in 4 guesses. This is (duh!) the first game this month that I started with 0.1.4 and finished in 4 guesses.

This is the 20th consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 4 guesses.

I saw two possible answers after my fourth guess. I decided to go with the first one that came to mind. 

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5. This is the first time this month that I have finished a game in 5 guesses. This is my first 0Y game this month.

This is the 19th consecutive month that I have had at least one 0Y game. This is my 50th 0Y game. This is my ninth 0Y game that began with 0.0.5. This is my tenth 0Y game that I finished in 5 guesses. This is my third 0Y game that I started with 0.0.5 and finished in 5 guesses.

I didn’t scrutinize my third guess carefully enough. I should not have selected a word that had E in the same place as in my first guess.

After my fourth guess I saw three possibilities but I had just two guesses left so I had to take evasive maneuvers. 

This game ended a streak of 16 games in which I didn’t finish any games in 6 guesses.

This is just the seventh time that I have started a game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 6 guesses. I have finished the overwhelming majority (99/110) of the games I started with 0.2.3 in 3, 4, or 5 guesses. I have failed to successfully complete more games (4) that started with 0.2.3 than with any other combination of green, yellow, and black. I have yet to start a game with 0.2.3 and finish it in 2 guesses.
