Wordle 1472

⬛️🟩⬛️🟩⬛️ FLUNG
⬛️🟩⬛️🟩⬛️ PLANE
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 BLINK

Time 1:40

I like the symmetry of the colors in the grid.

This is the fifth time during my current winning streak that I have finished a 0Y game in 3 guesses. The only winning streak in which I finished more 0Y games in 3 guess was my 10th winning streak (443 games).

This is the tenth time this month that I have finished a game in 3 guesses. This is the eighth time that I have finished at least 10 games in a calendar month in 3 guesses.

Games played: 1224
Winning streak: 61

That’s it for June. My average score for June was 3.77. This is the fourth time in the past five months that my average score for the month has been less than 4.

I finished more games this month in 3 guesses than I did in 4 guesses. This is the sixth time that has happened.

I did not have any 5G games this month. This is just the fifth time that I have gone an entire calendar month without a 5G game.

⬛️⬛️🟨⬛️⬛️ FLICK
⬛️🟩⬛️⬛️⬛️ HIPER
⬛️🟩⬛️⬛️🟩 DINGY
⬛️🟩⬛️🟩🟩 MISTY
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 WITTY

Time 7:00

I wasn’t sure if my second guess was a word but I decided to give it a try.

I had the possible answers narrowed down to WITTY and BITTY after my fourth guess. I considered going with Plan B, at that point, just to play it safe, but I couldn’t come up with any words that I liked that included B and W. I finally decided to try WITTY because I thought of it first.

After the fact it occurred to to me that the answer could also have been TITTY. I checked after the fact and BITTY and TITTY have not been the answer in the past. I kind of doubt that TITTY will ever be the answer.

I liked my third guess so much that I overlooked the fact that it was missing a P.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 4 guesses. This is the sixth consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 4 guesses.

⬛️🟨⬛️🟩🟩 BONER
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 OFFER

Time 2:45

OFFER came to mind pretty quickly after my third guess. I didn’t spend more than 30 seconds trying to come up with other possible answers. I was pretty sure at that point that the answer had to start with O.

⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️🟩 PURTY
⬛️🟩⬛️⬛️🟩 GODLY
⬛️🟩⬛️⬛️🟩 HONEY
🟩🟩🟩⬛️⬛️ COMBO
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 COMFY

Time 5:20

I was really starting to get nervous after my third guess and decided that I had to go with Plan B. Possible answers that occurred to me were MOMMY, BOBBY, COCKY. I decided that I needed a word that would include C, M, and B. COMFY did not occur to me at this time, otherwise I might have tried it.

This is my eighth 0Y game during my current winning streak. I also had eight 0Y games during my eleventh winning streak (93 games) and my 15th winning streak (73 games). The only winning streaks in which I had more than eight 0Y games were my two longest: my eighth winning streak (213 games, 22 0Y) and my tenth winning streak (443 games, 41 0Y).

This is the first time this month that I have started a 0Y game with 1.0.4. This is the first time this month that I have finished a 0Y game in 5 guesses.

This is my fourth 0Y game this month and so far each 0Y game has started with a different combination of letters (0.0.5, 1.0.4, 2.0.3, 3.0.2). This is just the second time that I have started at least one 0Y game with each of those four combinations of letters within a calendar month. The other month this happened was in Jan 2023.

Time 6:45

I wasn’t terribly certain that my fifth guess would be the answer but it seemed like a good guess.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.1.3 and finished it in 5 guesses. This is the 17th time that I have started a game with 1.1.3 and finished it in 5 guesses.
