Fresca solved Wordle Challenge #1 just by giving it a quick glance. A piece of cake (easy as pie!)!
La Belle et Bonne Bianca Castafiore finds the Wordles a doltish passetemps but is fond of this Citrusy Cyclamate who recently plunked herself down in the middle of one of Retired Educator's many fab pity parties. La Fresca's appreciation of choses tintines and her hearty cries of "blistering barnacles" have endeared her to the shy, retiring diva.
I wondered whether classifying this Wordle Challenge as "easy" was fair -- but the proof was in the pudding (cake and pie). I suppose a person might be able to google his way to the appropriate citation -- Citrusy Cyclamate claims to have done so for Wordle Challenge #2 and to have easily arrived at the solution. "Poobah!" I say. "Poobah!" To her credit, she is keeping the results to herself.
La Fresca has further shown herself to be of an altruistic nature by opting to forward her used copy of the book in question to a starving child, an option designated in the official statement of Wordle Challenge rewards.
As it happens, Little Senasa in Nazareth, Ethiopia, has culinary designs on this delectable chunk o' paper pulp!
The first Wordle was a jumble of the opening of Joyce's Ulysses:
The first Wordle was a jumble of the opening of Joyce's Ulysses:
Stately, plump Buck Mulligan came from the stairhead,
bearing a bowl of lather on which a mirror and a razor lay crossed.
A yellow dressinggown, ungirdled, was sustained gently behind him
by the mild morning air. He held the bowl aloft and intoned:
—Introibo ad altare Dei.
Ten thousand thundering typhoons!
ReplyDeleteThis Citrusy Cyclamate is deeply honored to be dubbed a WorldeMeister just for recognizing Mr. Mulligan's yellow dressingown!
You are a treat, Ma Chere, and I am truly grieved to hear of your ill-behaved shoulder doo-hickey: 10 out of 10 is an achievement one would not wish to claim.
And yet, what amusing jewels you share...
