A-Z Challenge 2025 ~ C

  Warning! This post contains the answer to today's Wordle
Proceed at your own risk

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.


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?

  1. I agree with you that Lucky is a better term than Genius. And the others are very finely shaded hyperbole.

  2. Considering English is a second language for you I think you’re Superstar!

    1. Thank you :blush: The fun thing is that I fail the Danish equivalent, Wørdle, more often than the English.

  4. Lucky is good. I rather be lucky than splendid though that is a lovely word.

    Have a lovely day.
