sonyc 5,519 Posted March 15, 2022 Thanks Wings. I named that tune in 11 secs.😐 I needed to hear the first musical notes because I couldn't place the drums. I've been doing the French and Welsh versions over the last couple of months. I'm very new to the latter which makes me work very hard. Another way of learning new words for me anyway whether I get them or not. I reckon @TheGunnShow is the language king around this place as it's his forte, so there may be a German or Swedish Wordle one out there (plus many others for him). Will add Heardle to my list! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aw, thanks. 😉 Only speak German and English though. The advantage of that language combo if travelling in the other Scandinavian countries (except Finland) is that the other languages are somewhat related so a Swedish, Norwegian, Danish word might be guessable if it's close enough to its German equivalent. That's even more true for Dutch. Less so for Icelandic and Faroese as they've not changed as much over the centuries. Icelanders, as far as I'm led to believe, can still read the sagas of the likes of Snorri Sturlason reasonably clearly even though he died in 1241. Considerably harder for us to read Chaucer's originals, in comparison. As for Faroese, for a region with such a small population, the language isn't very standardised. I don't think it's changed radically since Viking times so would be similar to Icelandic in that regard, but I really do not claim to be a scholar on that topic.

I'm not sure Childish Gambino or Lizzo are well enough entrenched into the psyche just yet to feature (despite liking both I'd have never got them). I think their track selection is perhaps a little bit off. Edited March 17, 2022 by Thumbbass 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PurpleCanary 5,562 Posted March 21, 2022 "Adieu" works well as a starter word in English and French, giving four of the five vowels, although the French, being different of course, count Y as a vowel... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was pretty pleased I hit Bouvet Island in three. Although I had to admit, I had to guess off the second one (St. Helena) and couldn't think of anything else that might have been due south.
