This
year again I choose an easy way out. Each day I'm going to solve the Wordle
of the day, using as starter a word beginning with the letter of
the day. I hope to post every day at noon my time (GMT +2. Dang you DST!). As the alternative badges, as supplied by Lissa suggest travel I'll prefer travel-related words as starter words, and if at all possible, I'll avoid words containing the same letter more than once.
I'll maybe add a few words about my chosen starter word if fancy takes me and I have time and energy for it, else I'll just post the solution - or not in the case that I did not solve it.
Today my starting word is Emoji. It was unexpectedly difficult, and I only just solved it:
Wordle 1.752 6/6
⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜
⬜🟨🟩⬜⬜
⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜
🟩⬜🟩🟩⬜
🟩⬜🟩🟩⬜
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
Today's Wordle Review tells me it has an "average of 4 guesses out of 6, or moderately challenging." I no longer ap keeping up with the average - maybe because of my forced starter words.
Emoji! What on earth is the connection between travels and Emoji?
Both before and after getting married, hubby and I travelled for a month each summer. We had a strict budget as young and still studying, but we both were good at languages, and we had friends in many places in Europe. We camped in out of the way campsites, and walked long distances by foot to see the sights of many an European town and city.
In many places we found we were not the first to visit -- we met the OG emoji. We met it in Colosseum, Rome, in back alleys in Paris, under the bridges in Venice, in short everywhere in Europe we met a man with a long nose looking at you over a wall -- Killroy was here.
This too was short and rather obscure. Sorry. I hope to have time and energy for more in the coming days.
And now for today's Wordle
EMOJI:
I don't quite understand what OG emoji means. I'm thinking it's the usual or common thing. At least, I got today's wordle.
SvarSletHave a lovely day.
Sorry - this might be gamer lingo - OG (literally Original Gangster) just menas the oldest/the original one.
SletGood for you solving today's Wordle.
I'm visiting from the A to Z Challenge. I just wanted to say thank you for stopping by my blog today. I actually had to use Google Translate, to figure out what language your blog uses, and thus determine where you are. :) Your country is one of my dream destinations! I'll have to admit, even though I am a "words person" I don't do Wordle. Is that bad to admit?!
SvarSletI hope your conclusion was that I am Danish ;) same as my blog, but I keep most of it bilingual Danish/English.
SletIt's not bad to admit not doing Wordle, it's a matter of taste, and I think it's a fun challenge to kickstart my brain in the morning.
Actually Google Translate indicated Norwegian. ;) But Denmark is another dream destination for me. My oldest two children's father's maternal grandmother was Danish. :)
SletNorwegian and Danish are very similar, so I do not blame Google translate for mixing them up.
SletKilroy was everywhere first. You did a great job going from emoji to today's Wordle.
SvarSletThank you, yes Killroy was there - whereever 'there' is ;)
