🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 ABBOT

I spent most of my time on my fifth guess. ABBOT was the first word that occurred to me after my fourth guess but it took me quite a while to find it.

Time 4:30

I spent most of my time on my third guess. I wanted it to have an H but a word ending in ATCH didn’t immediately come to mind.

This is the first time this month that I have finished a 0Y game in 3 guesses. I also finished a 0Y last month in 3 guesses. I have finished at least one 0Y game in 3 guesses in 27 of the past 46 months.

This is the first time this month that I have started a 0Y game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 3 guesses. This is the 17th time that I have started a 0Y game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 3 guesses.

This is the fifth time that I have started a 0Y game with 1.0.4, not found any more letters with my second guess, and then nailed it with my third guess. The dates upon which those other four games happened were 07/17/22, 12/05/24, 02/10/25, 04/05/25. One and only one of them (12/05/24) looked identical to today’s game in term of the color distribution.

🟩🟩🟩🟩⬛️ PRISS

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 PRISM

Time 4:00

I played this game on hard mode just so that I could earn the hard mode badge. It probably doesn’t make a difference if I play hard mode or not, 90 to 95 percent of the time. It didn’t make a difference in this game.

I figured after my third guess that the answer had to be either PRISS or PRISM. I probably should have tried PRISM first but because I only saw two possible answers I decided to try them in the order that I thought of them. I checked after the fact and neither PRISS nor PRISM has been the answer prior to today.

This is the 112th time that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 5 guesses. This is the 112th time that my next to last guess has been 4.0.1 and I have finished the game in 5 guesses.

Time 0:40

I’m not sure if there were any other possible answers after my first guess. I just went with the first and only word that came to mind.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 2.1.2. This is the 20th time that I have started a game with 2.1.2. 

This is the eighth time that I have started a game with 2.1.2 and finished it in 2 guesses. I have finished 85% percent (17/20) of the games I have started with 2.1.2 in 2 or 3 guesses.

🟩🟩⬛️⬛️🟩 COUTH

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 CONCH

Time 3:05

CONCH was the first word that occurred to me after my first guess but I went with COUTH as my second guess because it seemed like a safer guess.
