A-Z Challenge ~ M for Mango

  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 all through April.

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 Mango.
The average today is 5,6 very challenging -- I am still well below average:

Wordle 1.761 4/6
⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨
⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜
🟩⬜⬜⬜⬜
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Mango fits nicely with travelling in Africa.

On our way through Sudan we once waited for a bus. We were told that the bus would leave at six in the morning from the market. We were at the market a bit early, because having a seat was a free for all. Only there was no bus. We asked as well we could, the people at the market for a bus to Loa. They pointed at the giant mango tree growing next to the river close to the road, And on our question of 'When' they held up six fingers and said Seta which means six in Arabic as well. So we sat ourselves under the giant mango tree and waited, and waited.
We took turns going to the market for food - more triangular breads with beans, ripe fruits and bottled water.
We even pilfered some mangos from the big tree after seeing some local children doing so - one for each.
Slowly more people arrived, all bound for Loa on the six am. bus - which finally arrived a quarter to eleven and left close to noon ;)

And now for today's Wordle:
Anyone comparing will see that my solution to share - those small coloured squares - and this one does not tally. It's because I mistakenly solved it using yesterday's spare word, Latte. Discovering my mistake, I opened Wordle in my other browser - which is not really compatible with NYT's page and "solved" it there. On purpose using the same number of guesses, and the same words except for the starter word.
As the overlay, where you can click on "Share" and have those coloured squares, is an 'underlay' in the other browser, the share-button is hidden by the Privacy policy link.
Here's my original, using Latte:
And how the other browser looks with 'underlay':
I can - sometimes - make the underlay go away by refreshing the page - the X in the corner does not work. But the 'Share'-button is never accessible.

  1. Waiting under a mango tree sounds like a start to a story. I got today's wordle but took too long to solve.

    Have a lovely day.

    1. Waiting for a bus under a mango tree was a part of an adventure.
      If you solved today's Wordle, you did fine. With an average of 5.6 some of the test solvers did not get it ;)

  2. In places like this, when the six o’clock bus arrives, that’s when it’s six o’clock!

  3. I think your theme is fun. I had nothing but a stroke of luck today with Wordle. Two! I start with train, so all I had was the n. My mind went to again, began, begin, none of which would work, then begun just looked like it wasn't a word! Sometimes our brains see a word and just can't "see" it. At least I hope it's not just me!
