⬛️🟨⬛️⬛️⬛️ GNASH
🟩⬛️⬛️🟨⬛️ PLINK
🟩🟩⬛️🟨🟨 PRONE
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 PREEN

Time 3:30

I overlooked the fact that I played N in the same place in my third guess (as I did in my second guess) until after it was too late.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4. I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 in all of the past 40 months.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 4 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 4 guesses in all of the past 40 months.

Wordle 1443

⬛️🟨⬛️🟨⬛️ WHIRL
⬛️⬛️🟨⬛️🟩 MARCH
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 ROUGH

Time 4:30

I spent most of my time on my third guess. There were plenty of words I could have played. At first I was thinking of trying one that had R as the second letter but for some reason ROUGH popped into my head and it felt good so I gave it a try.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.2.3. I have started at least one game with 0.2.3 in all of the past 40 months.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 3 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.2.3 and finished it in 3 guesses in 33 of the past 40 months.

⬛️⬛️🟨⬛️🟨 LEASH

I checked after the fact: HARDY and HAUNT have yet to be the answer.

This is the final game of the month. My average score for May was 3.87. This is the third time in the last four months that I have finished the month with an average score below 4.00. I have achieved this feat before but I still have yet to finish three consecutive months with average scores below 4.00 or finish four out of five months with average scores below 4.00.

My overall average, since I started playing in Feb 2022 is currently 4.00. My overall average has been either 4.00 or 4.01 for over six months. The last time it was something other than 4.00 or 4.01 was on 11/13/24 when it was 4.02.

My overall average, since I started playing in Feb 2022 is currently 4.02. My overall average has been 4.02 to 4.04 for over a year. The last time it was something other than 4.02, 4.03, or 4.04 was on 02/27/24 when it was 4.05. (updated 06/06/25 when I realized that there was a problem with my Wordle spreadsheet and that it wasn't including games that I lost in the calculations)

I started more games this month with 0.2.3 (8) than I did with 0.1.4 (7). This is just the fifth time this has happened and the first time it has happened since Oct 2023.

This month is the first time that I have started a winning streak on the first of the month. All month long my stats for the month and the winning streak have been identical. Win or lose, my stats for the month and the winning streak will no longer coincide starting tomorrow.

Wordle 1441

⬛️⬛️🟨⬛️⬛️ SLOTH
⬛️⬛️🟩🟩⬛️ PRION
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 IDIOM

Time 5:15

I spent most of my time on my third guess. It didn’t take me long to decide that my third guess should begin with a vowel followed by consonant-I-O-consonant but it took me a few minutes to find a word that fit.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 3 guesses. This is the fifth consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 3 guesses. I have started at least one game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 3 guesses in 36 of the past 39 months.

This game completes my monthly bingo card for the seven most commonly occurring start / finish combinations.

⬛️🟨🟩🟩⬛️ CHASE
⬛️⬛️🟩🟩🟩 SMASH
⬛️⬛️🟩🟩🟩 GNASH
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 QUASH

Time 7:00

My fourth guess would have been my third guess if I had thought of it before I played by third guess.

I checked after the fact and GNASH was the answer on 09/06/23. My next to last guess in that game was SMASH.

⬛️⬛️⬛️🟨🟨 WHIRL
⬛️🟨🟨⬛️🟩 FLOOR
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 POLAR

Time 8:55

I wasn’t crazy about my third guess but I went with it anyway, after spending a few minutes trying to come up with a word that was more to my liking. I would have played POLAR as my third guess but it didn’t pop into my head until after my third guess.
