Wordle 1077

⬛️🟨🟨⬛️⬛️ USHER
🟨🟩🟨⬛️⬛️ SHOGI
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 CHAOS

Time: 5-6 minutes

I spent most of my time on my third guess.

This game ends my current streak of games that I finished in 4 guesses at 7 games.

This is the tenth consecutive game that I have finished in 3 or 4 guesses. This is the second time I have finished 10 consecutive games in 3 or 4 guesses. The other time I finished 10 consecutive games in 3 or 4 guesses was in late Mar to early Apr 2023.

Games played: 829
Winning streak: 388

This the final game of the month. Here are some stats. 

My average score for May was 4.23 which isn’t a record for me but it is up there. I only finished 4 games in 3 guesses in May. This ties a record low for me which I also achieved in Jan 2023.

At one point it looked like I might set a new monthly record for the number of games that I started with 0.2.3. Eight of the first 14 games this month began with 0.2.3 but in the end I started 9 games with 0.2.3 in May. This ties the record that I first set in Sep 2022 and have now achieved 5 more times since then.

Wordle 1076

⬛️⬛️🟨⬛️⬛️ LIGAN
🟩⬛️⬛️🟨⬛️ GROUP
🟩🟩⬛️⬛️⬛️ GUEST

GUMMY was the only possible solution that came to mind after my third guess.

This is the tenth time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4. This is the seventh consecutive month in which I have started at least 10 games with 0.1.4. I have started at least 10 games with 0.1.4 in 17 of the past 27 months.

Wordle 1075

⬛️⬛️⬛️🟩🟩 MURAL
⬛️⬛️⬛️🟩🟩 TONAL
🟩⬛️⬛️🟩🟩 PEDAL
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 PAPAL

Time: 5 minutes

I thought about PAPAL for probably at least a minute before playing it. It is such a specific word plus it has just three different letters.

This is the third time this month that I have started a game with 2.0.3. This ties my personal record for the most number of games started with 2.0.3 in a month. The other time I started 3 games with 2.0.3 in a single month was in Jan 2023. 

This is the 18th time I have started a game with 2.0.3 during my current winning streak. That’s twice the number of times that I started a game with 2.0.3 during my eighth winning streak (213 games).

This is the eighth time that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 4 guesses. This is the fifth time during my current winning streak that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 4 guesses. 

This is the fifth 0Y game that I have started with 2.0.3 and finished in 4 guesses. Four of the five 0Y games that I have started with 2.0.3 and finished in 4 guesses have happened during my current winning streak.

🟨⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ STEAD
⬛️⬛️🟨🟨⬛️ PLUSH
🟩🟨🟨⬛️⬛️ MUSKY
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 MINUS

Time: 4-5 minutes

This seems like a typical game to me. I started with 0.1.4 and finished in 4 guesses. It is not a milestone game and does not tie or set any new records as far as I can tell.
