Wordle 1666

⬛️⬛️🟨⬛️⬛️ LUCKY
🟨⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ CHOSE
⬛️🟩🟩🟩🟩 PANIC
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 MANIC

Time 2:35

There was no need to PANIC after my third guess because there was only one possible answer at that point.

My first three guesses have all been the answer in the past.

Games played: 1418
Winning streak: 50

This is my eighth winning streak to last at least 50 games. Here are some stats about my current and previous winning streaks that lasted this long. The only thing that really stands out is that this is the first time that I have had a winning streak reach 50 games with an average score of 4 guesses per game or higher.

⬛️🟩🟨🟩⬛️ PITHY
⬛️🟩🟩🟩🟩 FIGHT
⬛️⬛️🟨⬛️🟨 SLIME
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 EIGHT

Time 6:20

There were several possible answers after my third guess. I had to go with Plan B. Some of the possibile answers had almost certainly been been the answer in the past but I don’t like to check that sort of things while I am playing so I didn’t.

I checkecd after the fact and four of the possible answers (MIGHT, LIGHT, NIGHT, SIGHT) had been the answer in the past. Not knowing this, I chose a word that used three of the possible first letters I considered. EIGHT wasn’t even on my radar screen at that point. It was just dumb luck that I chose a word that included an E.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.1.3. This is the 21st consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 1.1.3. I have started at least one game with 1.1.3 in 46 of the past 47 months.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.1.3 and finished it in 5 guesses. This is the 22nd time that I have started a game with 1.1.3 and finished it in 5 guesses.

I’m not sure how many possible answers there were after my second guess. I just played the first one that came to mind.

This is the second month in a row that I have started at least one game with 0.2.3 and finished it 3 guesses.

⬛️🟨⬛️⬛️⬛️ SHARD
⬛️⬛️🟨⬛️🟩 CLOTH
⬛️🟩⬛️⬛️🟩 BOUGH
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 OOMPH

Time 6:55

I was pretty sure, after my third guess, that the solution had to end with PH but I had trouble finding any words that fit. I hesitated before trying OOMPH because I wasn’t sure that it was spelled that way or that it was a real word. I finally did try because I couldn’t find any other words that fit.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 4 guesses. This the 47th consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 4 guesses.

⬛️🟩🟩⬛️🟩 MILKY
⬛️🟨⬛️🟨⬛️ BLUFF
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 FILLY

Time 8:00

I went with Plan B with my fifth guess. I was considering playing either FILLY or LILLY but I was worried that there might be some other possible word that I wasn’t considering. I was pretty sure that it ended with ILLY. I thought maybe that BILLY could possibly be the answer. I checked after the fact and LILLY has not been the answer in the past.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5. This is the 35th 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 45 of the past 47 months.
