Wordle 1674

⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ THREW
⬛️⬛️🟨⬛️⬛️ PLAID
⬛️🟨🟨⬛️⬛️ BACON
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SUMAC

Time 6:25

I spent most of my time on my fourth guess.

This is my first 5G game this month. This is the seventh consecutive month that I have had at least one 5G game. I have had at least one 5G game in 42 of the past 47 months.

This is the 15th time that I have started a 5G game with 0.0.5. This is the ninth time that I have started a 5G game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 4 guesses. I finished the six other 5G games I started with 0.0.5 in 3 guesses.

This game ends my streak of games without a 5G game at 44 games. This is the sixth time that I have had this sort of streak last over six weeks. My longest streak of games without a 5G game lasted 59 games.

Wordle 1673

⬛️⬛️🟨⬛️🟨 PORTE
🟨🟨⬛️⬛️🟩 RELAY
⬛️⬛️🟩🟩🟩 EVERY
⬛️⬛️🟩🟩🟩 QUERY
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 FIERY

Time 4:45

I only saw two possible answers after my third guess. I tried them in the order they occurred to me. I hesitated before trying them because I was worried that I might be overlooking other possible words.

I checked after the fact and only my second and fourth guesses had been the answer in the past.

Wordle 1672

🟩🟨⬛️⬛️⬛️ REDUG
🟩⬛️⬛️🟩⬛️ RIVET
🟩⬛️⬛️🟩🟩 ROWER
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 RACER

Time 4:10

I think that I got pretty lucky with my first guess. If the R in that word has been some place other than in the first position then it would not have helped to narrow down the possibilities quite as much as it did.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.1.3 and finished it in 4 guesses. This is the second month in a row that I have started at least one game with 1.1.3 and finished it in 4 guesses. I have started at least one game with 1.1.3 and finished it in 4 guesses in 29 of the past 47 months.

⬛️🟨⬛️⬛️⬛️ RIGHT
⬛️⬛️🟨🟩🟩 PLAID
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 AVOID

Time 3:35

I spent most of my time on my third guess. At first I thought that A should be the second letter, until AVOID came to mind.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 3 guesses. This is the 13th consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 3 guesses.
