The photo is another one from the display which is in our clubhouse. It has nothing to do with the discussion. I am in a group of four who play Wordle each morning and share our results on WhatsApp. One of the group has been on a trip which included a cruise from Sydney to Hawaii. She was able to do her Wordle each day but sometimes she was a good few hours behind but at other times much nearer our local time. Vince was keeping track of her ship with some app that he has and said the vessel seemed to be crossing back and forth over the date line. I'm glad we figured it out. It had us baffled for a while.

It's a long time I do not play Wordle, I should go back and play, it was interesting. Some app to track the aircraft or the ship are interesting to have.

Would you play the English version? That could be a bit difficult for anyone for whom English isn't their first language although I know your English is very good.

@JudyEv - No, you are right it's too difficult to play a version different from my native version, I have to decide if to play the Italian version or the French version. May be I will go with French.

Wonder why the ship was criss-crossing the date line. To confuse the passengers?

I've never played Wordle, but I'm glad your friend who can keep playing while on the cruise. And the good thing about her crossing the International Date Line is that you can advise her what's going to happen tomorrow!!

That would get confusing with crossing the date line

Since the route from Sydney to Hawaii crosses a huge stretch of the Pacific, your friend may have experienced different time zones plus the date line effect. That could definitely explain why sometimes she was hours behind your Wordle group and other times much closer to your local time.
