A-Z Challenge ~ T for Towel

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 plan to post the A-Z post around noon every day 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 Towel.
The average today is 3,8 or moderately easy - I am below average today.

Towel - The connection between towel and travel is of course Always remember your towel. One of the best advices from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

A Towel is about the most useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth ... you can lie on it ... you can sleep under it ... and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.

More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: non-hitch hiker) discovers that a hitchhiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, face flannel, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet weather gear, space suit etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitch hiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitch hiker might accidentally have "lost."

And now for today's Wordle:

    1. Thanks for visiting. So many have read this book, or seen the movie.

  3. I don't travel much but this sounds like good advice. A towel sounds useful but of course a dirty towel, not so much.

    Have a lovely day.

    1. A dirty towel can be washed ;) Towels are real useful when travelling.
