I was quite pleased with my results. 19 out of 19 with eight 3’s and eleven 4’s. But I took a Six on September 26, 2025. No. 1560. ☹ The only consolation was that after 5 guesses I thought of two words it might be, and guessed right. ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜⬜⬜🟩⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟩⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 I suspect I have a strategy flaw that caught up with me.
