After getting rid of green and yellow, blue became clear. This was another case of I would have eventually got purple, but went ahead and submitted without understanding cause it's a busy day.
I feel like I dropped about a half a guess when I started sticking with ASTER to start.
What I thought was hilarious is that this article came out Sunday and if you used SLATE as your opener on Monday (or obviously Stale, Tales, Steal, Least, Tesla... ), zero letter matches. I am sure that was deliberate by the puzzle master.
Re: travle, thanks for the find CH. It’s a nice compliment to Worldle and Globle, my other two geography dailies.
I was semi-clueless on the execution of the first two, but I think I’ve got the gist now.
Glad to share it! I like it best when it forces you to navigate around countries on the most direct route.
I’d like to do one of the other countries’ constituent region maps, but there isn’t a travle for Germany, the only country for which I know all the top-level constituencies outside the US & Canada. I guess my junior high German teacher can claim my knowing Mecklenburg-Vorpommern from Baden-Württemberg in my forties as a victory.

Only one theme clicked and the rest was a grind. I accidentally finished because I tried to end it to get the final two and lucked into being right.
this was one of those stare at it for an hour and then suddenly the floodgates open ones for me. yellow came quickly but it was drag until i finally looked at DESERT the right way.

This is a pretty interesting article and made me change my opening word. Should be a gift link so can still read without a NYT subscription.

Part of the 4.3%. Guess I have a backup word, if STARE is used before the backup word.
