A-Z Challenge 2025 ~ X

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.

X is for Xylem.  Xylem is found in any growing plant. I cite from Wikipedia: The basic function of the xylem is to transport water upward from the roots to parts of the plants such as stems and leaves. It's what we - in trees - know as wood. And it is the only of the 22 X-words in Merriam-Webster having to do with growing things ... as far as I know.

I would have thought Xylem to be a bad starter word, but again today, I solved the Wordle in three tries, earning me an Impressive. It was more luck today, I was just testing out words, looking for more letters.
