Time 4:40

I thought of TOAST before I thought of BOAST but I decided to try BOAST ahead of TOAST. Oops?

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 6 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 that I finished in 6 guesses in 22 of the past 35 months.

That’s it for January. My average score for the month was 4.10. I’ve done better but I’ve also done worse.

I started and ended the month with games that I finished in 6 guesses. Those were the only two games this month that it took me six guesses to successfully complete.

I did not have any 5G games this month. This is the fourth time that I have not had any 5G games within a calendar month. The last time this happened was July 2023.

I hit all seven of the most common start finish combinations (for me). This is the 16th time I have hit this mark in the past 35 months. The last time I hit all seven in a calendar month was in October 2024. 

Here are some stats.

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 FALSE

Time 7:45

I started to get worried after my third guess because I hadn’t found any consonants that were in the answer. It took me a while to decide what my fourth guess should be. Once I saw the outcome of my fourth guess it didn’t take me long to find the answer.

This is the eighth time this month that I have started a game with 1.0.4. This is the first time I have started more than seven games in a calendar month with 1.0.4.

It didn’t occur to me to try Plan B. Everything worked out in the end but maybe I should have tried Plan B.

Time 5:25

I switched to Plan B after my third guess. Words that end in ER are no joke, especially when you don’t have any of the other letters.

This is the eighth time that my next to last guess has been 0.1.4. I also had a game last month in which the next to last guess was 0.1.4. This is the first that this has happened in consecutive months.

SUNNY came to mind almost immediately after I saw the results of my third guess. I hesitated for 20 to 30 seconds while I tried to find other words that fit before trying SUNNY.
