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 until 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 Palms.
The average today is 4,3 or moderately challenging - I am well below average today with a lucky guess.

Palms ... We saw lots of palm trees on our journey through Egypt and Sudan. I'd like to re-tell a bit from earlier, as it contains palm leaves. We - seven of us - were staying in a small village some hours' walk from Loa - which is fairly close to Nimule on the Uganda border:
The women in the village amused themselves by putting us to all sorts
of jobs we couldn't manage, like washing clothes and grindin sesame seeds. Then when we were
messing around with a tub and a washboard, the women, laughing and
teasing, pushed us away and, gesticulating and talking loudly, showed
how to do it. The boys experienced the same thing, being set to weave
cages from palm leaf stems. It looked easy when one of the men did it.
With a knife, he split the stem into four, drilled a few holes here and
there, split another stem, folded and bent, and poof, he had made a
small box with a lid that could be opened able hold 3-4 kg of tomatoes.
The boys' first attempt was not good, to put it mildly, and there was
much laughter.
And now for today's Wordle:
Weave cage with palms sounds easy to say but sounds a bit complex. I guess once you learn it, it might be easy.
SvarSletStrangely, I got the wordle with two words and got the solve green badge window which never happened to me before.
Have a lovely day.
As Columbus said: Anything is easy when you know how to do it ;)
SletGratz on getting the greenie badge and a "Magnificent". I missed this with one letter today:

Yes, the things we’ve done since we were little are easy to us, what we’ve never done before takes learning.
SvarSletGreat solving today.
As I said to Lissa, everything is easy when you know how ;)
SletIt sounds like you all had fun learning the washboard. I learned that too at a young age, since that's how my mother did our washing in the yard before we got a washing machine when I was seven.
SvarSletNone of us had learned the washboard at home. Washing machines were widespread in Demark - or you went to a laundromat. I had never seen a washboard before that one in Sudan.
