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 Wagon.
The average today is 6 guesses out of 6, or very challenging. I am below average again today.

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.
That was an interesting train journey. When a person is very tired, they can sleep on a train's uncomfortable bed.
SvarSletThanks, yes it was interesting, too interesting for sleep, I found. But yes, tired people can sleep almost anywhere.
SletTraveling by train seems okay but I guess not so great if for long travels but at least, you're not walking endlessly.
SvarSletI didn't get today's wordle. However below average, you still got the correct answer.
Have a lovely day.
I love train travels. When we travel for holidays, we mostly go by train. One of the things on my bucket list is the transsiberian railway.
SletBelow average is good when solving a Wordle ;) Average today was 6 guesses - I did better with 5.
As a Wordle enthusiast I love your theme! I almost didn't get today's. Took me 6. You did well. I find the ones where a letter is used more than once can be quite tricky.
SvarSletThank you, it's an easy to use and versatile idea for a theme.
SletA Word with more than one of the same letter is often my nemesis as well.
I like checking out the difficulty after solving. Today it's 6, so you are on par with the professional solvers. Strangely I find the English Wordle easier to solve than the Wørdle in my native Danish. Maybe because we have 9 vowels ;) I mostly use all six tries there.
I enjoy trains but have not had the opportunity to ride one in a long time. This sounds like an interesting adventure, although I don't imagine anyone actually enjoys a sandstorm.
SvarSletSand does get absolutely everywhere! I remember sand storms when working on a sheep station as a teenager. We could see the red dust cloud coming and close up the house even putting rooled towels under door edges and windows, but still had a marathon cleaning session once the storm passed. A lot of it would come down the house chimneys.
