A-Z Challenge ~ N for Nomad

  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 dayuntil the end of 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 Nomad.
The average today is 5,5, or very challenging -- I am still at or just below average, and I could have done better, guess number four was not smart, as I knew this could not be the solution. But even after getting it, I was not sure of the meaning of today's solution and had to look it up after.

Nomad ... Yes we met nomads while travelling.

In Egypt, we took a train from Cairo to the Aswan dam - more I hope later.
As we rode the train through the desert, where we experienced a sandstorm, the train stopped in small towns or near villages. Once the train stopped in the middle of the desert. There was a building next to the track - more like a glorified bus stop, open to one side with an overhanging roof. I guess it was for shelter against sun and rain for waiting passengers. Three men, dressed in flowing robes got off here and started walking purposefully away over the endless sand. As far as we were able to see - and we looked at the men for a long time - there was nothing but sand and the ruler straight line of the train tracks with the stop, dwindling in the distance.
Our guess was that those were nomads, due for the nearest oasis.

And now for today's Wordle:

  1. I don't know about nomads but walking the desert for a long while sounds tiring.

    Cubit? Never heard of that word. NYT do seem to pick the oddest words.

    Have a lovely day.
