Beginning with today's Wordle ... what a word. In the end I guessed it by just plotting in the letters I had and deleting the result when it was not accepted - monkeying I think it's called ;) I never heard this word before, and was convinced it was a not-word until I saw all the squares turn green. Solution in the end of the post.

Vi starter med dagens Wordle. Den var svær. Ved det sidste gæt havde jeg alle bogstaverne, men ingen ide om hvad de kunne blive til, så jeg udfyldte bare felterne tilfældigt, der hvor bogstaverne kunne være, og slettede det hele igen, når jeg fik at vide, at det ord altså ikke fandtes. Jeg var overbevist om, at det ord her heller ikke var et ord, men så var det løsningen. Aldeles aldrig hørt før, og det virkede bare som et fup-ord i den grad. Løsning allernederst.
This past week I took some photos
Jeg har faktisk taget nogle billeder i den forgangne uge.
Tuesday we celebrated Midsummer Actually the birth of John the Baptist - as almost everything in Denmark it's celebrated on the vigil)
Vi fejrede sankthans tirsdag aften (faktisk Johannes Døberens fødselsdag - som næsten alt andet i Danmark fejres det aftenen inden)
The Moon looked at us Thursday night as we went to sleep.
Torsdag, da vi skulle sove, kiggede månen på os.
Saturday we had a heat-record of 37 degrees, the hottest ever in Denmark - too hot for even the Sun-loving MotherOwl.
Lørdag var det rekordvarmt med hele 37 grader, Pyha, for varmt for selv en solskinselskende Uglemor.
And Saturday night/Sunday morning we had thunderstorms with heavy rain. I tried to snap the lightening, I only succeeded in getting some dramatic clouds
Lørdag aften til søndag morgen haved vi nogle fine tordenvejr. Jeg prøvede at fange et lyn, men jeg fik kun nogle meget dramatiske uvejrsskyer.
Let's finish with a few flowers from my garden
Og lad os slutte af med nogle blomster fra haven.
Let us not forget the strange Wordle.
Og lad os ikke glemme den sære Wordle.

Saturday News ~ Lørdagssmåtterier
Yesterday and again today I stood on ladders, first to pick elderberry flowers, later on to paint our new shed, and experienced what I have experienced many times before -- a thing I call The Ladder Mystery.
First I was very afraid of just standing on our 6-step stepladder, but after a while I had no problems standing at the upper rungs of our really tall long ladder stretching to paint all the boards. Why is it like this?

I går og igen i dag stod jeg på stiger, først for at plukke hyldeblomster og senere for at male vores nye skur, og der oplevede jeg en ting, jeg har oplevet mange gange før - jeg kalder det Stigemysteriet.
Først var jeg bange, mens jeg stod på vores seks-trins wienerstige, men senere stod jeg næsten oppe på det øverste trin af vores meget lange stige og rakte mig frygtløst ud for at male diverse krinkelkroge. Hvad er det lige, der sker?
-- 🪜 --
I solved today's Wordle, no Ta-daas or anything, just me being stupid, and the solution being a word I absolutely did not know was even a word ... it's just a name for me!

Jeg løste også dagens Wordle. Efter al fødselsdags-halløjet var det en tam affære. Dels var jeg lidt dum, dels var løsningen et ord, jeg kun kender som navnet på en historisk person ;)

Today I feel either proud, stupid, or just plain stubborn.
In the end I had the first two and the last two letters, but I could not, as in absolutely NOT find such a word, I then just typed in First two - Next not-grey letter from the keyboard - Last two.
And I found the solution this way.
And it was a totally new to me word.

Words for Wednesday ~ May 27
The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually
taken over as a moveable feast with many participants supplying the Words.
When Delores closed her blog forever due to other problems, Elephant's Child (Sue) took over the role of coordinator.
Now, after Sue's demise, River has taken the mantle of coordinator upon her shoulders.
No matter what, how, where or who the aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to our mind.
This month the words are to be found at Mimi's blog: Messymimi's Meanderings.
If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please leave a comment on River's blog, then we can come along and read it and add a few encouraging words.
It is also a challenge, where the old saying "The more the merrier" holds true.
So Please, remember to follow the links, go back and read other peoples' stories. And please leave a comment after reading. Challenges like this one thrives on interaction, feedback and encouragement. And we ALL need encouragement.
And for today we were given:
Hand
Useful
Panic
Horse
Shape
Sharp
And/Or:
Nuisance
Boredom
Quizzical
History
Warfare
Hair
And A Bonus Set Of Words:
Notification
Money
Cotton
Spray
Clock
Mug
Short story using the first two or three words from each batch.
Sometimes, when I do not have to use my hands for something useful, I relax by solving a Rubic's Cube. It is sometimes a nuisance to solve, but boredom is not a word, I connect with the cube.
I learned how to solve it on a long Interrail journey from Copenhagen to Paris, many, many years ago. Recently I have learned a new, faster method.
Once upon a time my quizzical mind wanted to combine The Rubic's Cube and Pentominoes.
Notification for those wanting to try: It's impossible, and you'd lose your money if you held against me betting on this.
I once made a mock up of my dream-cube.
You see the Pentominoes Z and W on the blue/green faces, T and P on the red/orange faces, and F and X on the yellow/white faces.
PS: I'm still haunted by "Bloogers" and still cannot always comment, sometimes I can't even reply to your comments here on my blog.
I suspect many of you have the same problems, as there's even less than the usual number of comments on any post here.
Know that I read and enjoy still, and hope that you do the same.
And today's Wordle was really fun for me ... I was afraid of running out of guesses, but I made it

A-Z Challenge ~ Stats
I did it! I posted an A-Z post every day of April except Sundays
This year again I choose an easy way out. Each day I solved the Wordle of the day, using as starter a word beginning with the letter of the day.
As the alternative badges, as supplied by Lissa suggest travel I chose travel-related words as starter words, and for most of the posts I succeeded in adding a few words pertaining to my chosen starter word and telling a tale from my many travels.
One of the funny things about Wordle is solving it - or not - and the number of guesses you use for this, it lend itself perfectly to statistics.
Stats ~ Wordling
Looking through my earlier Wordle stats tells me that out of 26 Wordles I typically solve it in:
4 guesses 9 times,
5 guesses 6 times,
6 guesses 5 times,
3 guesses 3 times,
and fail 3 times.
Or an average of 4.8 guesses. How was April 2026 compared to this?
I solved 25 of the 26 relevant Wordles at an average of 4,8 guesses. My distribution of guesses can be seen in this grid: I had the same average number of guesses, but fewer fails and fours and more fives and sixes.
I do not know if this means anything other than starter words not belonging to my usual batch pushes the number of guesses upwards, and some luck led to fewer fails. Let's leave well alone.
Stats ~ Blogging and visiting
I know there'll be a dedicated reflections post for this later on, but I'll do a bit now, when my mind is still on the challenge.
Blogs visited:
I visited - or should I say tried to visit - all the 144 participating blogs on the master list. I did not comment on all of them. I repeat, again modified, from former years' Stats post:
In past
year I spent far too much time trying to comment on blogs that
required a log in, wading through posts not touching on the A-Z at all
or where I had to "fight" to get to the posts ... to the detriment of my
visiting blogs that were interesting or were following the guidelines.
This year I was not going to revisit non-participants, those
requiring a large amount of blogging gymnastics, or those where I did not like the graphics or contents.
Why did I then have such a tough time again this year?
Non-participants:
Again too many blogs were not participating. Of the 144 bloggers signed up 20 did either not exist, had supplied broken links, or did not participate. This is 13.8 % of the blog. Even worse than last year.
I do not know what, if anything, can be done about this. We sign a disclaimer where we agree to this:
Blog Link *
Please make sure the link works and leads to your blog, not a specific post or area where you create your posts. Thanks! It must go to a PUBLIC blog where anyone doing the challenge may COMMENT WITHOUT LOGGING IN, SIGNING UP, or SUBSCRIBING.
The team visits
all blogs at least once I know. Could they maybe in some way mark those
"defective" ones on the master list so as not to waste loads of time for
all the rest of us?Please make sure the link works and leads to your blog, not a specific post or area where you create your posts. Thanks! It must go to a PUBLIC blog where anyone doing the challenge may COMMENT WITHOUT LOGGING IN, SIGNING UP, or SUBSCRIBING.
Read and commented:
I expanded on the list I made after the theme-reveals. I visited all the blogs I had not yet visited during the theme reveal, and marked them using the same system either Green for interesting, Yellow for maybe interesting (or interesting with bad graphics), or Red for not interesting.
After a few days I had:
7 in Green
26 in Yellow only a few because of bad graphics
111 in Red of these also the 20 with no A-Z, double entries, or broken links.
Of the Green and Yellow ones and a few Red ones too, I have commented on 35 or maybe some more as my comment would sometimes just disappear. I had this happening mostly on blogs on Substacks, WordPress, and some in an unknown format. Some blogs where I have commented more than once still only count once in my stats.
As STATS is actually a five letter word, I tried to solve today's Wordle with STATS as a starter - same as last year.

A-Z Challenge ~ Z for Zones
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 Zones.
The average today is 5.3 guesses out of 6, or very challenging. I am below average again today.

Zones - When travelling you tend to forget that borders are more than the international ones we normally know and have to show our passport when crossing. Many countries have intern borders, partitioning the country into zones. And you have to have permission to leave or enter these zones, just the same as borders. We ran across this in Sudan. We were seven of us staying in a small village some hours' walk from Loa - which is situated between Juba and Nimule (This is a partia re-tell).
The people in the village had lots of fun putting us to all sorts of jobs we couldn't really manage, like cleaning grain, grinding sesame seeds, weaving baskets, making bricks, or washing clothes. Then, when we were messing around the women, laughing and teasing, pushed us away and, gesticulating and talking loudly, showed how to do it. Even though we did our best, the results were not good to put it mildly, and there was much laughter.
At 6 pm the sun set and it got dark in less than ten minutes. After eating everybody gathered in a big hut and shucked corn off the cobs while people sang, talked and laughed. There was alwaus laughter, and we were annoyed at not being able to understand anything.
One evening, while we were shucking corn, the police arrived. They said that white people were not allowed in the native zones after sunset, and drove us to a "town" nearby. There weren't many more houses than in the village, but they were square and two-storey, They dropped us off at a cheap hotel. We were told to report to the police the next morning. It seemed very deserted. There we had to sleep and stay for a few days before the transport could talke us back to Juba again. We probably should have just given them some money - aka. bribed them, but we weren't that clever.

And now for today's Wordle:The solution was not a word that I imagined to be the solution, it did not enter my mind ... actually no words with U and A in these positions did ... so I did what I do when I have no idea, I just enter the as yet grey letters in the order I see them, This means Q -W E - R and so on. QUA surprisingly have many strange word before reaching the solution ;) And I ran out of guesses.That last one I did not even think was a word.

Wagon - One of the parts a train is composed of. In Egypt took a train along the Nile through desert and ferile lands down to the Aswan dam - that's the train journey with the Nomads from N.
We stayed in the train for a very long time. It was strange to be suddenly analphabetic. But as we did not read much Arabic, we were functionally analphabetics here. Every time the train stopped, we asked, along with quite a few Egyptians actually: "Where are we?" And some smart person looked at the name of the station and told us.
We also drowe through a sandstorm, not a bad one, but we had sand everywhere. Even in the inside bottom end of my sleeping bag, that had been rolled together during the trip. I did not sleep in the train, but many did, and as the train emptied, some of the smarter ones crawled up and laid down in the overhead luggage racks. We even made a song about this, on the tune of Jailhouse Rock which had been made in a Danish version only a few years earlier. We had much fun and sang much during this journey.

Are more Wordles. It's not the exact same green, but close enough. Today I'm not doing A-Z, my Wordle does not count for my stats, I was free to fool around. I did and that may be why I did not solve it today. It should not be that hard, only 4.8 of 6.

A-Z Challenge ~ V for Visas
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 Visas.
The average today is 5.3 guesses out of 6, or very challenging. I am a bit above average here - but I feel a bit cheated. While looking for "how many Wordle solutions" out of curiosity and cited in O for Ocean, I read that Wordle does NOT use plural forms! I see now, searching further, that this was a half truth. Wordle does indeed use plurals, but only irregular ones.

Visas - To travel like we did through the countries behind the Iron Curtain, we needed lots of visas.
We spent at least a week waiting at embassies, consulates and whatnots and speak to often stuffy bureaucrats, only reluctantly giving us the required stampings in our passports. Some of them were beautiful, in multicoloured ink or flourishing fonts often in other alphabets. Later on we also acquired some in Arabic one of these even came with a stamp. I think it was the Egypt one.
No drama here, only quite a bit of train trips to Copenhagen, where all the embassies were - and a lot of time wasted waiting.

Urban - U was an unexpectedly hard starting letter. I really could find no travel related words. Also today I have no story to tell.
Trunk was one of the words I considered for T, so of course it was still upmost in my brain. Lucky dip this was.
