I was looking to try include a U in my fourth guess but I couldn’t find any words that fit.

This is the fourth day in a row that I have started with 0.0.5. This is is the first time that I have started 4 consecutive games with 0.0.5.

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 third month in a row 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 29 of the past 43 months.

I have now started more games with 0.0.5 (31) than I have with 0.2.3 (30), during my current winning streak. This is my only winning streak that has lasted more than 25 games where this has happened.

That’s it for September. I finished the month with an average score of exactly 4 guesses per game. That’s worse than last month but better than the month before that. Here are some more stats.

I started eight games in September with 0.0.5. That ties my count for the most games started with 0.0.5 in a calendar month. I also started eight games with 0.0.5 in Dec 2024.

I started eight games with 0.1.4 this month. I also finished last month with a tie between games started with 0.0.5 and those started with 0.1.4 but last month those counts only reached seven per starting combination. These are the only two months that I have started equal numbers of games with 0.0.5 and 0.1.4.

I wasn’t expecting that my first two guesses wouldn’t net me any green or yellow letters. That’s the second time that has happened this month. This is the 13th this has happened in the 43 plus months that I’ve been playing Wordle. It is the first time that I’ve had had that happen more than once in a calendar month.

I spent most of my time on my fourth guess. I was convinced, at first that E had to be the first or second letter but I couldn’t find any words that fit. It took me a good long while to consider other possibilities.

Time 11:40

I tried to screw this one up but my first two attempts at my sixth guess weren’t playable words. It was only after both words had been rejected that FRITZ occurred to me.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and successfully finished it in 6 guesses. This is the 17th time that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and successfully finished it in 6 guesses.

This is the twelfth time that I have had nothing but black letters in my first two guesses. I have yet to stumble and fall when I don’t get any green or yellow letters in my first two guesses. This is just the second time that it has taken me 6 guesses to successfully finish a game that I started with nothing black letters in my first two guesses.

That was a little too easy or I just got very lucky.

I also started yesterday’s game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 3 guesses. This is the first time that I have had back to back games that I started with 1.0.4 and that I finished in 3 guesses.
