I was starting to get a little nervous after my third guess. I probably spent more time on my fourth guess than on all my other guesses combined.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 5 guesses. This is the fifth consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 5 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 5 guesses in 23 of the past 36 months.

That’s it for February. Here are some stats.

My average score this month was 3.96 which is pretty good except for the fact that I failed to complete one game successfully. This is the third consecutive month that I have completed at least one game unsuccessfully. This is the first time that has happened three months in a row.

For the first time since Feb 2024 I went a whole calendar month without successfully completing a game in 6 guesses. This is just the fourth time that has happened.

This is just the second time that I have finished a month without finishing a game in 2 guesses and without successfully finishing a game in 6 guesses. The other time this happened was in Oct 2022.

I might have finished this game 20 to 30 seconds faster but I paused after I thought of LODGE to see if I could think of any other words that fit.

I intentionally avoided trying words that ended in ER until my fourth guess.

This is the first time this month that I have started a 5G game with 0.1.4. A little over 40 percent (30/73) of my 5G games have started with 0.1.4. I have started at least one 5G game with 0.1.4 in 18 of the past 36 months.

This is the twelfth time that I have started a 5G game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 4 guesses. This is my second most frequently occurring start / finish combination for 5G games. My most frequently occurring start / finish combination for 5G games is 0.1.4 and 3 guesses.

I almost made GRAND my third guess but then I thought about it, had a change of heart, and decided to go with GLAND instead.

This is the fourth time this month that I have started a game with 1.1.3 and finished it in 3 guesses. This is the first time that I have started more than 3 games with 1.1.3 that I finished in 3 guesses in a calendar month.

Disaster averted but I certainly stumbled with my third guesses.

This is the first time this month that I have found two consonants on my first guess. I think this might have made me a little overconfident which may account for my third guess blunder.

This is the second time I have finished a game in 5 guesses and had fewer than 7 black letters. This is the first time I have finished a game in 5 guesses and had fewer than 6 black letters.

This is the first time this month that I have had more yellow letters in a game than either green or black letters. This is just the 20th time this has happened without the yellow letters accounting for the majority of the letters played.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.3.2. This is the fourth consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.3.2. I have started at least one game with 0.3.2 in 26 of the past 36 months.

This the fourth time I have started a game with 0.3.2 and finished it in 5 guesses.

I had my doubts about making OCEAN my third guess. I was thinking was that I shouldn’t try a word that had three vowels. As it turns out, that was a pretty good guess.
