A-Z Challenge ~ I for Inlet

  Warning! This post contains the answer to today's Wordle
Proceed at your own risk

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 Inlet. This was the solution Wednesday -- Strangely the same thing happened last year with Hazel. But unlike then I did not make a fake 'solve in one' for today. That I solved it today at all was sheer luck. I did not even know the word!
The average today is 5,3 very challenging -- I am still average:

Wordle 1.756 5/6

🟩⬜🟨⬜🟨
🟩🟨⬜🟨⬜

Inlet and travelling fits nicely together.

When travelling to Africa we drove all the way there - meaning that we went through DDR (GDR), Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Greece, Turkey and Syria - I was there with a group of people in a bus, we belonged to a Danish travelling school.

I remember one beautiful morning ... we had been driving through the night, and now it was early morning, somewhere in Czechoslovakia. The dawn broke, and it was like in the song, Morning has broken ... I had to stop the bus and admire the view over the mountains, down to a lake with trees all around and a small, sea green boat just leaving an inlet, bright and clear in the sunrise.
We all went out of the buses and just stood there looking. It was as if the world was created all anew just for us.

And now for today's Wordle:

  1. It must have been beautiful. I always like a sunrise but I usually not awake for that so I saw a lot of sunsets instead.

    I didn't get today's wordle, I didn't know that word - carom - I've never heard about until today.

    Have a lovely day.

    1. It was very beautiful.
      I see lots of sunrises in the winter, from now onwards, not so much, because the sun rises really early - as early as 4.25 at midsummer.

  2. I don't play with Wordle, but Carom is a new word for me. Great job getting it.

    1. Oh, I do not feel as stupid now, so many native speakers delcarinc Carom an unknown or difficult word.

  3. I’ve had times I wanted to stop and get out of a vehicle and just take in a spectacular view. I’m glad you got to do it.

    Carom is a difficult word.

    1. Most of the others were sleeping, so I actually just decided to do so together with the map reader ;)

      Nice to see that I'm not alone in finding carom a strange word.

  4. How nice that you were allowed to stop the buses and admire the view. What is DDR and GDR please?
