Dagens tirsdagstips passer med sidste halvdel af temaet for Z ~ A udfordringen*) som er
Fortitude, Easy tips. (Moralsk eller åndelig styrke, Nemme tips). Den åndelige styrke vil jeg ikke rode mig ud i at skrive iom, så jeg holder mig bare til et tirsdagstips.
Wordle, Ordmastermind og lignende skal løses med papir og blyant. Hvorfor nu det? Jo, ser I, når jeg løser en ordgåde som Wordle,
eller den danske Wørdle online, sker det at jeg tænker, at sådan et ord bare
ikke findes. Eller jeg er bare ved at løbe tør for gæt. Når det sker, er
det tid til at finde papir og blyant frem; det er nemlig ren magi, er
jeg sikker på.
Jeg slår fem streger på papiret, en for hver af de fem
bogstaver i svaret, og nedenunder linjerne skriver jeg så de bogstaver, der kan
stå på den plads. Og så pludselig - KA-BUM - dukker det rette ord frem i
min hjerne. Som sagt, ren magi.
De blå bogstaver på billedet nederst er en kopi af,
hvad jeg skriblede på en lille lap papir, inden jeg udfyldte den sidste
linje med det rigtige ord

The Z ~ A*) prompt for today is
Fortitude, Easy tips. I don't know really what to do about
Fortitude, ... either you have it or not, and if not, you got to fake it till you make it.
An
Easy tip on the other hand. Can do. Try solving Wordle (and it's lookalikes) with pen and paper. It is so much easier.
This needs embellishment, I'm sure. Bear with me for a rambling post, and some Danish - not because I expect you to all of a sudden be able to read it, but because the layout behind all these challenges is more or less the same.
When trying to solve a Wordle - or the Danish Wørdle, notice the ø 😉 - I am sometimes pulling my hair, thinking that no word ever existed using those letters. Then I find pen and paper and write down five lines like this:
_ _ _ _ _
I then write the letters below the lines in the places where it is possible for them to be right, and mostly ... KA-BAM the right word surfaces in my mind. I am sure that writing with pen on paper is a magical process!
Look at this example - the letters in blue is exactly what I wrote on a slip of paper before filling in the correct last line:
