A-Z Challenge 2025 ~ E

This year 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 post every day at 6 pm. my time (GMT +2. Dang you DST!)

As the alternative badge, as supplied by Lissa seems to suggest growing things I'll prefer those 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, else I'll just post the solution - or not in the case that I did not solve it.

E is for Eruca.  Eruca is also known as Rocket, arugula, colewort, roquette, ruchetta or rucola; Here I'll maltreat Shakespeare and say that an Eruca by any other name would taste just as bitter. It does not grow in my garden.
Well, and as Wordle does not accept Eruca. I went for my second word, Erica also known as heather.

5 tries used = Great.

D is for Daisy.  And as I do not think Daisies are in need of an explanation, I'll explain how I solve a Wordle - or in this case not.

How to play: It's like MasterMind, only with words. I can't explain it better than Wordle does:

And one rule, they do not tell here: A letter CAN be used more than once!

Of course my first guess is DAISY. the word for today.
I am told that I is in the right place, and that none of the letters D, A, S, or Y are in the solution.

There's many words with I as the middle letter. I go look for some more letters. TRITE may not have been that smart, it repeats I and R, and have two T's. PRIME is even more stupid, repeating I, R, and E. All I know now is that the solution is of this shape _RI_ _ and not containing T, E, P, or M either.

Then I test the two missing vowels O and U and also a couple of consonants. No luck. I is the sole vowel, and neither C, G, or H are parts of the solution either.

I do not know very many words of this build.  _RI_ _  and not containing any of the excluded letters. I think I know only WRING, FRILL and FRIZZ (that last one I'm not even sure is a word). And as I have only two guesses left, those two are what I'm going to try.

Well as can be seen, none of those were the solution. KRILL was. I know what this is (it's even the same in Danish), but it's not a part of my active vocabulary.

Better luck tomorrow.

Today a new blogroll has joined my right sidebar. It is called A-Z fund - meaning A-Z finds - and here I list the blogs I have found during the A-Z Challenge. Not all are participating in the A-Z as some are serendipitous finds via links in others' blogposts or searches for the A-Z posts. It is sure to grow during April, and as certainly it will shrink and most probably be merged with my "Bloggere fra den store, vide verden" (Bloggers from all over the world) blogroll once A-Z is done.

C is for Chive. 
Normally we meet Chive in its plural form, Chives. My guess is that this happens because one chive is fairly useless. You need a whole bunch. At least I do, and in my garden I have more clusters of chives growing around. Just now they are about five centimetres tall, and I am considering an omelet with bacon and chives tonight.

Today's Wordle earned me the Splendid epithet once again. I do not really agree with the titles:

Genius
Magnificent
Impressive
Splendid
Great
Phew

That is to say, I do not agree with two of them:

• That first one ... If you hit the right answer in your first guess, you're not Genius, you're Lucky. I did once. Only because one of my normal starter words was that day's solution.
• Four: Are four guesses really Splendid? Is Splendid more or less than Impressive? I don't know, it might just be me. And as a non-native, I actually think it's just me.

What do you think?

Månedens farve April Colour of the Month April

Thanks to River who reminded me of my lack, here is the colour of April:

This time I took the photo myslf on April first. Normally the fountain in Helsinge is "dressed up" for this day, but not this year. Hence the name - Missing Green.

B is for Birch.
Another one of those spring trees with nasty pollens. Into the dye pot they go to dye my Revenge-hank!

I think maybe Wordle is a bit over the top calling a solve of 4/6 splendid - but they do.
