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 except Sundays. 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 Lands.
The average today is 6 or very challenging -- I am absolutely below average today, which is a good thing to be when playing Wordle ;)

Lands as in dry lands describe the opposite of oceans, but it's also a synonym for country, as in foreign lands. And when travelling, this is what you do; visit foreign lands.
Today I'll bring a boring list of the foreign lands I have already visited. This was my first choice for this years A-Z, but as I have not visited countries for all the letters, I had to find a new theme.
A
Andorra
Austria
B
Belgium
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Bulgaria
C
Croatia
Czechoslovakia- now split into: Czech Republic and Slovakia
Czech Republic
D
Denmark
E
Egypt
F
Finland
France
G
Germany
German Democratic Republic - now united with Germany.
Greece
H

I

J

K

Luxembourg
M

Montenegro
N

This makes for three continents:
Europa, where I visited 33 out of the 43 now existing countries.
Asia, where I visited only three countries.
Africa, two (now three) countries visited.
Cheaters:
San Marino: We sat on the wall surrounding this small state, and hearing that we actually sat on the border, I stretched out my right arm, and leaned as far as possible without taking a tumble, so at least a part of me has been in San Marino.
Saudi Arabia: I was in transit in the airport of Medina for four hours ;)
South Sudan: Sudan and South Sudan was still one country when I visited. But I went to Khartoum and to Juba - both of the capitals.
And now for today's Wordle:
What a blessing to be so well traveled! Great job on the Wordle, too.
SvarSletI envy you a bit but I'm not much of a traveler. I prefer traveling nearby and those not involved with planes or uncomfortable rides.
SvarSletI totally failed at today's wordle. I'm not too much awake today.
Have a lovely day.
