A-Z Challenge ~ E for Emoji

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 hope to post every day at noon my time (GMT +2. Dang you DST!).

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 Emoji. It was unexpectedly difficult, and I only just solved it:

Wordle 1.752 6/6

Today's Wordle Review tells me it has an "average of 4 guesses out of 6, or moderately challenging." I no longer ap keeping up with the average - maybe because of my forced starter words.

Emoji! What on eartih is the connection between travels and Emoji? 

Buth befroe and after getting married, hubby and I traveled for a month each summer. We had a strict budget as young and still studyung, but we bothe were good at languages, and we had friends in many places in Europe. We camped in out of the wasy campsites, and walked long distances by foot to see the sights of many an European town and city.

In many plcaces we found we were not the first to visit -- we met the OG emoji. We met it in Colosseum, Rome, in back alleys in Paris, under the bridges in Venice, in short everywhere in Europe we met a man with a long nose looking at you over a wall -- Killroy was here.

This too was short and rather obscure. Sorry. I hope to have time and energy for more in the coming days.

And now for today's Wordle
