Charles, looking good there.

I can only go back 327 games since I lost history before that when I removed cookies (before I signed up for NYTG). Here is my score card which is nearly the same as yours so I assume we are typical of the total Wordle game universe  :

WINS: 323  98.78% success rate.

Connections with no mistakes but got purple by process of elimination.  I expect this was a harder one than usual.

Solved Strands with no hints.  A clever one.

Wordle 1,295 3/6 - got lucky on my second guess

Connections - no mistakes, although Purple was last, I saw the 'connection' when I saw the words. ConnectionsBot rates this a 3 out of 5 on Difficulty, with a 28% failure rate (as of Noon eastern time)

Strands - no hints, once I figured out what they were doing, was easy

Wordle 1,296 5/6

Connections - 2 mistakes before solving - the WordleBot says this one is fairly easy 2 out of 5 - at least at midday. Nearly half the people (43%) made the same error as one of mine

Strands - agree, an easy one today, no hints

Solved Connections with 1 mistake and backed into purple again.  I couldn't figure out the purple even when it told me the connection but enjoyed looking it up on the web to understand the item.  Pretty cool.

Solved Strands with no hints but took a bit to get started.

Wordle 1,301 4/6

Connections - got Blue then futzed around with Green/Yellow busting, did not understand Purple either, that's three Busts in the last five games. My Busts seem to come in clusters, the last group was in November, when I Busted 4 out of 7 days.

Strands - no hints, a bit stuck after the first two, but it came together
