Time 4:00

I was very happy to see after my first guess that the answer would not end in ER but starting with 2.0.3 wasn’t ideal. I didn’t know it at the time but there were, according to the bot, only eight possible answers after my first guess. My second guess narrowed it down to six and my third to just one possibility.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 2.0.3. This is the sixth consecutive month that I have started at least one game with 2.0.3. I have started at least one game with 2.0.3 in 42 of the past 56 months.

This is the ninth time during my current winning streak that I have started a game with 2.0.3. This ties the number of times this happened during my eighth winning streak (213 games) and is only exceeded by the 11 times during my 16th winning streak (204 games) and the 20 times during my 10th winning streak (443 games).

This is the first time this month and 20th time overall that I have started a game with 2.0.3 and finished it in 4 guesses. Five of those 20 games have happened during my current winning streak. Twelve of those 20 games have been 0Y games.

Time 3:20

I saw two possible answers after my third guess but TRILL wasn’t one of them. There were, according to the bot, four possible answers left after my third guess. TRIAD and TRICK were the other two words that might have been the answer. I thought of TRIAD but TRICK did not occur to me until after the game was over.

Time 3:55

I spent most of my time on my second guess. There were plenty of words that I could have played that ended with R but I wanted something that had an R but didn’t end with R. My first guess, according to the bot, left me with 327 possible solutions but my second narrowed it down to just one.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 3 guesses. This is the fifth consecutive month in which this has happened at least once. This has happened at least once in 34 of the past 56 months.

This is my 21st 0Y game during my current winning streak and (across all games) the 21st time that I have started a 0Y game with 1.0.4 and finished it in 3 guesses.

Time 3:45

I probably spent more than half my time on my third guess. There didn’t seem to be an abundance of possible answers at that point in the game. There was, as it turns out, according to the bot, just one possible answer after my second guess.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.3.2. I also started a game with 0.3.2 last month. I have started at least one game with 0.3.2 in 38 of the past 56 months.

This is the first time this month and 34th time overall that I have started a game with 0.3.2 and finished it in 3 guesses.

Time 3:15

I wasn’t sure what my first guess would get me. There were still 1519 possible answers, according to the bot, after my first guess. My second guess eliminated more than 99% of the possible answers and my third cut it down to just two words.

This is the first time this month that I have started a game with 0.0.5 and finished it in 5 guesses. I also had at least one game of this kind last month. This is the 40th time in the past 56 months that I have had at least one game of this kind.

This is the second time this month that it has taken me 5 guesses to finish a 0Y game. I have had two such games in a calendar month several times in the past but I’ve never gone higher than two.

This is the first and only 0Y game during my current winning streak that I have started with 0.0.5 and finished in 5 guesses. Overall it is just my eighth such game.

Time 3:40

My second and third guesses were lucky ones. My second guess narrowed down the possible answers, according to the bot, to just six words. My third narrowed it down to just one possible answer.

This is the second time that STINK has been the answer. The first time was in Jul 2021, before I started playing. This is the third answer this month that has been a repeat.

Time 8:15

I spent most of my time on my fourth guess. I had a heck of a time finding words that fit. I only came up with one other (ANDRO) but I wasn’t even sure if that was a playable word let alone a possible answer. There were just two possible answers, according to the bot, after my second guess so I guess it was wise of me to keep looking and not try ANDRO.

This is the 28th time during my current winning streak that I have started a game with 0.1.4 and finished it in 4 guesses. This ties the number of times this happened during my 16th winning streak (204 games). It is only exceeded by the 66 times this happened during my 10th winning streak (443 games).
