Time: 4-5 minutes

I got a little bit nervous towards the end of this game. I don’t think that there were any other possible answers after my fifth guess but I might have overlooked something.

I reached some new highs and new lows this month, as can be seen in the chart below. The good news is that I didn’t end my streak and somehow my average number of guesses (4.23) didn’t come close to setting a new record.

This is the third time in four days that I have started the game with 0.1.4. The last time I started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 5 guesses was on Dec 12.

🟨⬛️🟨⬛️🟩 SLIMY

🟨🟩🟩⬛️🟩 HISSY

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 FISHY

I considered playing WISHY as my fifth guess but instead decided to stick with the first word that occurred to me.

This is the third time this month that I have started a game with 1.0.4. This is the eighth time this month that I have finished a game in 5 guesses. This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 5 guesses.

🟨⬛️🟨🟨⬛️ RETIN

⬛️⬛️🟩🟩🟩 SHIRT

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 FLIRT

Time: 2-3 minutes

I almost tried TRILL as my third guess but I didn’t think the odds were very high that the answer would have a doubled letter on back to back days.

This is the seventh day in a row that I have finished in 3, 4, or 5 guesses. This isn’t even close to being a personal record.

🟩🟩🟩⬛️🟩 WORDY

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 WORRY

Time: 3-4 minutes

I second guessed myself. I could have had this one in three. I considered playing WORRY as my third guess but then WORDY popped into my head. It seemed like a safer play, so I went with it. *sigh*

This is the sixth time this month I have started a game with 0.1.4. It is the fourth time this month I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 4 guesses.

⬛️🟩🟩⬛️🟩 NEEDY

⬛️🟩🟩⬛️🟩 GEEKY

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 BEEFY

Time: 7-8 minutes

I got nervous after my fourth guess and spent a lot of time trying to figure out what my fifth guess could and should be. It didn’t take me long to come up with BEEFY but I spent more than a couple minutes checking to see what other possible words might fit.

Yesterday’s game also began with 0.0.5. This is the first time in 331 games that the game has begun with 0.0.5 on consecutive days.

This is the fifth time that that I have started with 0.0.5 and that it has taken me 5 guesses to finish the game. The previous time that I started with 0.0.5 and finished the game in 5 guesses happened about 6 months ago on Jul 24.

I spent most of my playing this game trying to find a word that fit for my third guess.

This is the second time this month that I started a game with 0.0.5. The last time I started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 3 guesses was on Oct 22.

This is my fifth 0Y game this month and my 12th one this streak.
