Wordle 1509

⬛️🟨🟨⬛️⬛️ LORES
⬛️🟩🟩🟨🟨 PRONG
🟩🟩🟩⬛️🟩 GROWN
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 GROAN

Time 1:40

I thought of GROWN and then I thought of GROAN so that’s the order in which I played them. I had a feeling that GROWN might have been the answer in the past. I checked after the fact and found that my hunch was correct.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.2.3. I have started at least one game with 0.2.3 in all of the past 42 months.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 4 guesses. This is the ninth consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 4 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 4 guesses in 40 of the past 42 months.

Wordle 1508

⬛️⬛️🟩🟩⬛️ WHORL
🟩⬛️⬛️🟨⬛️ SPATE
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 STORK

Time 3:15

STORK was the first word that I came up with after my second guess. I also considered trying SNORT but I decided to go with STORK because I thought of it first. I checked after the fact and SNORT has been the answer in the past.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 2.0.3. This is the fifth consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 2.0.3. I have started at least one game with 2.0.3 in 31 of the past 42 months.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 3 guesses. This is the 21st time that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 3 guesses. This is the fifth time during my current winning streak that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 3 guesses. The only winning streak in which I have started more games with 2.0.3 that I finished in 3 guesses was my 10th winning streak (443 games and 9 games).

This is the 50th time that I have started a game with 2.0.3. I have finished more games that I have started with 2.0.3 in 3 guess than I have any other number of guesses.

⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ CLASP
⬛️⬛️🟨🟨🟩 THIRD
🟨⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ GNOME
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 RIGID

Time 4:15

I thought of RIGID after my second guess but decided to play it safe and try a word that included five untested letters.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5. This is the 30th consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.0.5. I have started at least one game with 0.0.5 in 40 of the past 42 months.

Wordle 1506

⬛️⬛️🟨⬛️⬛️ REPIN
🟨🟨🟨⬛️⬛️ PLUSH
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 LUMPY

Time 7:15

I spent most of my time on my third guess. I stared at what I had (after my second guess) for quite a while before thinking of LUMPY. 

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 3 guesses. This the eighth consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 3 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 3 guesses in 39 of the past 42 months.

This is the 333rd game that I have finished in 3 guesses. 

This is my first 5G game this month. I have had at least one 5G game in 37 of the past 42 months. I have started slightly more than a quarter (21/83) of my 5G games with 0.1.4 and finished them in 3 guesses.

Games played: 1258
Winning streak: 95

My current (16th) winning streak is now exactly as long as my third winning streak. The two winning streaks are by no means identical in many other respects. I have only had two winning streaks that have lasted longer, my 8th (213 games) and my 10th (443 games).

🟨🟨⬛️⬛️🟨 UNBID
🟩🟨🟨⬛️⬛️ DUNGY
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 DAUNT

Time 1:05

Talk about luck. This felt like it went way too fast and was way too easy. I don’t feel like I earned this one. 

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.3.2. I have started at least one game with 0.3.2 in 29 of the past 42 months. This is the second time during my current winning streak and first time since May that I have started a game with 0.3.2.

⬛️⬛️🟩⬛️⬛️ PUNCH
⬛️🟩🟩⬛️⬛️ MANGY

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 BANJO

Time 10:15

I spent most of my time on my last two guesses. It seemed to take me forever to find anything that fit after my fourth guess.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4. I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 in 42 of the past 42 months.

I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 5 guesses in 40 of the past 42 months.

This is the 100th game that I have started with 0.1.4 and finished in 5 guesses. This is the 250th game in which my next to last guess has been 3.0.2.

Games played: 1256
Winning streak: 93

My current winnng streak is now exactly the same length as my 11th winning streak. The two winning streaks have a few things in common but they are by no means mirror images of one another.
