That’s it for November. I finished the month with an average score of 4.20 which isn’t great but I’ve done worse. My average score for my current streak is 4.07 which is higher than all my previous streaks with the exception of my first two, both of which were considerably shorter than this one.

I did not finish any games in 2 guesses this month. This is the second consecutive month that I have not finished any games in 2 guesses. The only other two consecutive (full) months that I did not finished any games in 2 guesses were Mar and Apr 2022.

This is the sixth consecutive month that I have finished all my games correctly. This ties the record I set during my longest streak. That streak of months ran from Oct 2022 to Mar 2023. 

I didn’t start any games this month with 1.0.4 which is a first for me. This ends a streak of 20 consecutive months in which I had started at least one game with 1.0.4. 

I started more games this month with 0.1.4 than I did any other combination. I finished more games this month in 4 guesses than I did any other number of guesses. I started more games this month with 0.1.4 and finished them in 4 guesses than I did any other combination of start and finish. None of the counts for these stats for the month were new records but they were high counts.

I’m not sure I deserved this one but I got it.

I played the U in the same place in three guesses in a row even though I knew it wasn’t in the right place after the first of those guesses! I think this is a first for me. I’ve done it twice in a row in the past but I can’t recall ever doing this three times in a row. Usually one such mistake is enough for me. 

I knew that my fifth guess couldn’t be the answer but after 35 plus minutes of staring at the game I decided I had to try something. It took me less than a minute to see the answer after I played my fifth guess.

This is the first time this month that it has taken me more than 20 minutes to complete a game.

This is the first time this month and eighth time overall that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 6 guesses. I have never had more than one such game in a single month. I have never started games with 0.0.5 and finished them in 6 guesses in consecutive months.

I started with 0.2.3, my next to last guess was 3.0.2, and this is my 203rd game in this streak.

This is the 43rd time this streak that I have started a game with 0.2.3. I started 43 games with 0.2.3 during my longest streak which was 10 games longer than my current streak.

I didn’t think my third guess was going to be the answer but at the time I couldn’t see what else the answer could be and I had already spent a few minutes trying to come up with a third guess. It only took me about 10 seconds to come up with my fourth guess.

This is the tenth time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4. This is the eleventh time that I have started 10 or more games with 0.1.4 in a single month.

I probably spent 6 or more minutes on my last guess. 

This is the ninth time this month and 67th time this streak that I have started a game with 0.1.4. This is the twelfth time this month and 91st time this streak that I have finished a game in 4 guesses. This is the fifth time this month and 29th time this streak that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 4 guesses. 

This is my 200th game in this streak. Here are some stats.

My average score is lower than my overall average. That's the biggest thing I take away from numbers above.

Next I compare the first 200 games of my current streak to the first 200 games of my eighth streak, the only streak longer than my current streak.

I also did comparisons like this at the 42 game and 95 game mark during my current streak.

What stands out here: 

• I finished almost three times as many games in 2 guesses in my eighth streak as I have in my tenth streak.
• I have finished 10 more games in 4 guesses in my tenth streak than I did in my eighth streak. 
• I have started 10 more games with 0.0.5 in my tenth streak as I did in my eighth steak
• I stared 9 more games with 1.0.4 in my eighth streak as I have in my tenth streak

I finished this game relatively fast and in a relatively few number of guesses but nothing else really stands out about it in my mind.
