Connections: Sports Edition is a new version of the popular New York Times word game that seeks to test the knowledge of sports fans.

Like the original Connections, the game is all about finding the "common threads between words." And just like Wordle, Connections resets after midnight and each new set of words gets trickier and trickier—so we've served up some hints and tips to get you over the hurdle.

If you just want to be told today's puzzle, you can jump to the end of this article for the latest Connections solution. But if you'd rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.

The NYT's latest daily word game has launched in association with The Athletic, the New York Times property that provides the publication's sports coverage. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake—players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.

Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.

Not the day you're after? Here's the solution to the latest Mini Crossword.

As a professional critic, one of my deepest, perhaps most deranged delights is to be wrong about a movie. Basically, I've seen so many that I have a pretty good feel for how a film will hit me, based on who's made it, who's in it, or even the logline. But I relish being surprised. And John Early's latest film is a wondrous surprise, not because it's good, but because of how it's good.

Early is known for his offbeat comedic style, on display as a performer in the genre-bending comedy series Search Party, Dropout's improvised talk show parody Very Important People, and actual talk show appearances, where he and frequent collaborator Kate Berlant commit to bits that essentially satirize celebrity. There's a provocation in his approach that came to an angsty climax in Stress Positions, a COVID lockdown comedy where his lead performance acts like a mounting anxiety attack.

SEE ALSO: TIFF 2025 preview: 20 films you'll want to see for yourself (and how)

With all this in mind, I imagined Maddie's Secret, Early's feature directorial debut, would also embrace cringe comedy. Perhaps especially because he stars as the title character, a woman juggling a stressful job opportunity and a trauma-rich secret. However, Maddie’s Secret offers something defiantly sweeter, even as it sends up made-for-TV melodramas from the '90s. The film is silly and strange, but even amid campy bits, sincere. So, you'll laugh at its parody elements, but may well be genuinely moved by Early's commitment to this strange and splendid film.

Maddie's Secret is a campy throwback to '90s "movies of the week." 

Making its world premiere out of the Discovery slate at the Toronto International Film Festival, Maddie's Secret may seem like a straight-up send-up of those earnest TV movies, where a teen star (think Tiffani Amber Thiessen) would face some contemporary evil or social issue. But like A Deadly Adoption, the underappreciated Lifetime movie parody starring Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig, there's a clear and ardent love for this admittedly trashy corner of cinema. Early is mocking elements of these movies, but crucially, his eponymous heroine is not the butt of the joke.

Maddie Ralph (Early) is an aspiring chef who begins Maddie's Secret as a dishwasher at a culinary content studio called Gourmaybe. There, she giggles happily with her bestie (Kate Berlant), a lesbian who hits on her almost as aggressively as she stares down anyone who'd dare mess with Maddie. Specifically, this means Gourmaybe's shining star (Claudia O'Doherty), who shares recipes while snarling at anyone who's not her handsy producer (Conner O'Malley). 

Don’t miss out on our latest stories: Add Mashable as a trusted news source in Google.

At home, things are more peaceful for Maddie. Her husband is a teddy bear of a man (Eric Rahill), who absolutely adores her, insisting she's perfect. But the pressure to be perfect pushes Maddie into self-harm behaviors she developed as a girl. That pressure only amps up once her career at Gourmaybe takes off and she becomes an on-camera talent, with the vicious lens of the internet on her. 

John Early is brilliant and sly with Maddie's Secret.

Remarkably, as a first time feature director and star, Early manages the balance of comedy, drama, and empathy with aplomb. 

The humor in this movie begins subtle. It's in the way Maddie strolls to work, getting lost in thought as she smells a flower, only to have the realization wash over her that she's running late. The performance styles in Maddie's Secret run the gamut from stiff to totally over the top. But that's by design, embracing the traditional range within these vintage treasures of '90s "movies of the week." Where Berlant goes in for goofy leering as a predatory butch, a self-aware gag that has a juicy payoff, Early leans into a much softer performance.

Some might say he's doing drag here, but that suggests a hyper-femininity that's outrageous and potentially even mocking. That's not what Early's doing. Wearing a robust set of boobs and a messy blonde wig, Early isn't being a caricature of womanhood. He's playing a woman. However, because Maddie is desperate to live up to the "good girl" expectations others have for her, the performance is smartly restrained. She is in a cage of her own making, not allowing herself to feel bad in front of anyone else. And so, a tension grows as that pain pulls Maddie into disordered eating, which makes the career that she loves a dangerous place to be. Early manages to play this arc, which veers into a rehab clinic that feels very Girl, Interrupted, with a moving sincerity and a soft silliness that keeps the movie from getting too dark. And his co-stars follow his lead with gusto.

In this space of healing, hurt feels and firm facades abound. For Maddie's endearingly childlike roommate Julie (Vanessa Bayer), that means a cheerful exterior and an obsessive crush on a nurse (Pat Regan), who is unquestionably gay. Then, there's a trio of bad influences (Ruby McCollister, Emily Allan, and Leah Hennessey) who feel plucked from various bad girl movies to create a cool and intimidating coven. This section feels the richest in terms of representing community within girlhood. Well, at first Maddie is reluctant to consider herself anything like the people around her; it is only through sharing herself and her secret with these women that she can break out of the suffocating box she has put herself in.

I left this film in a spin, dizzy about its delicate accomplishments. Not long after, I saw Christy, the Sydney Sweeney-led melodrama, which made me only more impressed with Maddie's Secret. There, an established filmmaker and established dramatic actors fumbled the balance of social issues and accidentally fell into comedic absurdity. Here, Early and his company manage to be funny while never losing touch with the heart of this story.

Basically, John Early is a better ingénue than Sydney Sweeney, which might be the most surprising discovery of the Toronto International Film Festival.

Maddie's Secret premiered at TIFF, with cinematic release TBD.

Donald Trump's alleged birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein has been published by the House Oversight Committee, and — despite the president's denials — Jimmy Kimmel's reaction to it was unequivocal.

"That is not a birthday note, it's a signed confession," the host says in the Jimmy Kimmel Live! clip above. "That letter is so creepy it should have its own documentary series on Netflix. I give it two hours before Trump claims it was written by Joe Biden's autopen. And by the way, can you imagine if that little pubic scribble said Joe Biden instead of Donald Trump? There would have been another storming of the Capitol."

SEE ALSO: Stephen Colbert reacts to Trump's creepy alleged birthday drawing for Epstein

Kimmel then plays a clip of Speaker of the House Mike Johnson trying to defend Trump, claiming he kicked Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago and was "an FBI informant."

Kimmel's response? "Trump was an FBI informant the same way Diddy was a masseuse."

The birthday letter and drawing allegedly penned by Donald Trump for convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's 50th birthday (which the president denies writing) has been published by the House Oversight Committee, after lawyers for Epstein's estate turned it and other documents over to Congress — and it's somehow even creepier than anyone could have imagined.

"Keep in mind Trump didn't just deny doing it, he sued the Wall Street Journal reporters and Rupert Murdoch for $10 billion," says Stephen Colbert in the Late Show clip above, after showing the image. "Well now, Rupert Murdoch must be laughing up in heaven, because — I'm sorry, what? He's what?"

SEE ALSO: Jimmy Kimmel goes scorched earth on Trump's alleged birthday letter to Eptein

Colbert goes on to say that according to the Oversight Committee, Trump was listed under the 'Friends' section in the 2003 book's table of contents. "Right, it's just like the sit-com theme song: 'So no-one told you, you were on a pervert's plane / Oh wait, they told you, and you still got on his plane.'"

I've listed new products releases at their MSRP price, which if you preorder with a retailer you can still get. Pokémon TCG has a very challenging market due to many factors, but it mostly comes down to print runs still not being enough to meet demand. So until the market is flooded with sealed product, you should use this pricing as a guideline to your own spending budgets only.

Collecting strategy — 2025

Keep the following tips in mind when shopping for Pokémon cards in 2025:

• Skip overpriced ETBs unless you collect boxes.

• Buy singles when hype fades and prices drop 30–50%.

• Grade standout SIR/IR cards now while they’re affordable.

• Hunt under-the-radar promos before they disappear.

• Be patient — most sets see restocks within months.

Outlook: Large print runs should cool scalper-driven shortages, but older sealed sets and iconic singles will still dominate long-term value.

If you love to host big gatherings, then the best party speakers are an absolute must.

You’re probably asking, “What’s the difference between standard Bluetooth speakers and party speakers?” There's no hard and fast definition, so let's just say we know it when we hear it.

Party speakers are more robust in size, specs, and bass. They’re engineered with bigger drivers and woofers to bump music at insanely high levels. The batteries in these models are higher capacity, and in some cases, can be swapped out to extend playtime. Some speakers even come with DJ features like instrument compatibility and RGB lights. While there's a lot of overlap between portable speakers and party speakers, we prioritize portability in the former (duh) and big, thumping sound in the latter.

Some of the speakers tested for this review. Credit: Alex Bracetti / Mashable

The Mashable tech and shopping teams stay on top of the latest Bluetooth speaker releases, using our expertise and hands-on experiences to determine the market’s most favorable offerings. I've also personally tested dozens of speakers in the last couple years, focusing on features such as overall audio quality, battery life, portability, sturdiness, and whether they serve best for indoor or outdoor play (or both).

So, what is the best party speaker for summer 2025? Mashable’s top picks include the class-leading JBL PartyBox Stage 320, along with audio powerhouses like the Sony ULT Field 7 and Ultimate Ears Hyperboom.

As scientists continue to study a distant star system with seven rocky exoplanets, the odds of finding a livable world there seem to be getting longer.

Early results on the fourth planet from the TRAPPIST-1 star suggest it lost its original atmosphere to space long ago, and it’s unclear if it ever built a new one. Researchers used NASA's James Webb Space Telescope for their observations.

But the planet, TRAPPIST-1e, could still have enough greenhouse gases surrounding it to allow water to stick — maybe as a global ocean or one that covers the side that always faces its red dwarf star.

Among the seven worlds orbiting the star 40 light-years away, planet E has stood out as one of the best bets for life because it may sit in a so-called habitable zone, where it's neither too hot nor too cold for liquid water, so long as there's an atmosphere.

"TRAPPIST-1 is a very different star from our sun, and so the planetary system around it is also very different, which challenges both our observational and theoretical assumptions," said Nikole Lewis, an astronomy professor at Cornell University involved in the study, in a statement.

Two scientific papers on the initial findings appear in Astrophysical Journal Letters. They come just weeks after the results of its neighboring planet, TRAPPIST-1d, were published, also offering a grim perspective on whether life could be possible there.

The TRAPPIST-1 system was discovered about eight years ago with NASA’s now-retired Spitzer Space Telescope. The planets, all close to Earth’s size, quickly became a top target in the search for worlds that could support life.

Astronomers especially wanted to know if the TRAPPIST planets have atmospheres, because red dwarf stars are the most common type in the Milky Way. If planets in such harsh environments can hold onto air despite blasts of radiation, that would suggest many other worlds might as well.

The planet E results were based on just four of 19 planned observations. Publishing early may let other scientists see the team's approach, build upon it, and contribute to the interpretation of the findings. 

As the scientists continue their study, they also will be testing a new method: comparing signals from TRAPPIST-1e to TRAPPIST-1b, which seems to be little more than an airless, bare rock. 

For the first observations, the team used a technique called transmission spectroscopy. When a planet passes in front of its star, some starlight filters through its atmosphere, if one exists. Different gases absorb different colors of light, so scientists can spot missing chunks in the spectrum to see what chemicals are there. The technique does have its challenges, though, sometimes revealing confusing results because of sunspots and other types of stellar activity.

Based on that original data, the team doesn't think planet E has a hydrogen-helium atmosphere; probably, it was destroyed by strong stellar flares from its feisty star. But planets can develop subsequent atmospheres, just as Earth did billions of years ago. The researchers have wondered whether planet E could have done the same.

To get to the bottom of that, the team has devised a new strategy. They plan to time their observations so that planets B and E cross the star at the same time to compare the two sets of data. In this scenario, planet B becomes the control: Anything seen in both planets' chemical fingerprints is therefore probably coming from the star; anything seen only when planet E crosses is probably from its own air. 

A big question for Webb is whether red dwarfs — also called M-type stars — can host planets with atmospheres. To tackle that, Webb scientists have begun a large survey of rocky planets, first reported by Mashable. But instead of transmission spectroscopy, it will use the "secondary eclipse" method, which also sidesteps some of the problems caused by star activity.

"We are really still in the early stages of learning what kind of amazing science we can do with Webb," said Ana Glidden, one of the lead authors from MIT, in a statement. "We’re in a new age of exploration that’s very exciting to be a part of."

Halloween is right around the corner and the Trick or Trade Booster Bundle is back for another year. If you’re looking for a festive alternative to handing out candy, this box is packed with 35 mini booster packs, each with three cards inside. At just $14.99 on Amazon, it’s currently the better option compared to TCGPlayer’s $19.48 price. That’s a 23% saving you can put toward even more Halloween fun.

I like this bundle because it mixes spooky-themed Pokémon like Mimikyu, Gengar, and Darkrai with the fun of cracking packs. The smaller packs make it easy to hand them out to trick-or-treaters, or you can just keep a few for your own collection.

Top 5 pulls from the Trick or Trade Booster Bundle

Part of the appeal of this product is the unique Halloween-themed holo cards. These are not the priciest pulls in the Pokémon TCG world, but they are highly collectible thanks to their seasonal artwork and limited nature. Gengar and Darkrai fit the spooky vibe perfectly, while Pikachu and Mimikyu add fun options for both collectors and casual players.

I’ve been tracking sealed Pokémon TCG prices and Amazon and TCGPlayer are both offering solid discounts. TCGPlayer is coming out ahead with deeper cuts on sets like Twilight Masquerade, Prismatic Evolutions, and Destined Rivals. That means cheaper packs and a better chance at hitting chase cards like Bloodmoon Ursaluna ex, Umbreon ex SIR, and Team Rocket’s Mewtwo ex SIR.

Amazon still has some of the better buys. A few products are cheaper there, especially booster bundles and tins. In some cases Amazon’s discount is more than 20%, which makes it worth grabbing if you want to avoid marketplace pricing.

Cheapest TCGPlayer Pokémon cards

Amazon has reportedly fired over 150 unionised drivers in New York, prompting protests outside its warehouse in Queens. The union claims these layoffs are retaliation after drivers participated in a large Amazon workers' strike last December.

SEE ALSO: Around 10,000 Amazon workers are striking just before Christmas

Drivers working at Amazon's DBK4 delivery station unionised with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters last September, just a few months before widespread strikes across the online retail giant's U.S. warehouses. Teamsters organised a strike of nearly 10,000 U.S. Amazon workers that December, demanding the company negotiate a fair contract and address concerns such as low wages, workplace safety issues, and claims of "illegal union busting." 

Drivers at DBK4 were among those who took part in the industrial action. As such, Teamsters considers Amazon's decision to lay off over 150 of these delivery drivers retaliatory and thus illegal.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

"Amazon's crime spree has gone on long enough," said Randy Korgan, director of Teamsters' Amazon division. "The Teamsters are fully prepared to put these crooks in their place if they don't reinstate our brothers and sisters at DBK4."

Of course, Amazon sees the situation differently. The company has continually refused to recognise the union, previously alleging that Teamsters has "actively threatened, intimidated, and attempted to coerce" employees and contractors to join them.

According to Teamsters, Amazon claims it didn't "fire" the workers, but merely cancelled contracts with a subcontractor who employed the drivers. Amazon engages third party contractors, in this case Cornucopia, to manage its delivery drivers.

"But it’s all a phony shell game," Teamsters wrote in a statement on Monday. "Drivers wear Amazon uniforms, follow Amazon rules, and work off Amazon’s routing software. Amazon calls the shots. They are the employer and everyone knows it."

"These claims are false and this is just another example of the Teamsters deliberately spreading misinformation to advance their own agenda," Amazon spokesperson Eileen Hards told Mashable. "The truth is that no Amazon employees or delivery partners have ever chosen the Teamsters as their representative in an NLRB [National Labor Relations Board] election, and the NLRB has never directed Amazon to bargain with the Teamsters."

Amazon has previously argued that it doesn't employ its workers, though to little success. Last year, the NLRB determined that Amazon is a joint employer with its subcontractors, wielding enough control over workers' conditions to be considered legally responsible for them. This was a notable victory for Teamsters and its efforts to hold Amazon accountable for the treatment of its workers.

Unsurprisingly, Amazon disagreed with this decision, even going so far as to claim the entire NLRB is an unconstitutional agency in an attempt to block the verdict. This effort was rejected by an appeals court earlier this year.

Pay and working conditions at Amazon have been issues of concern for years, with the company also repeatedly accused of union busting. In 2021, a report by union coalition Strategic Organizing Center found that the rate of serious injuries at Amazon warehouses is almost 80 percent higher than that at other companies' facilities.

If you like playing daily word games like Wordle, then Hurdle is a great game to add to your routine.

There are five rounds to the game. The first round sees you trying to guess the word, with correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters shown in each guess. If you guess the correct answer, it'll take you to the next hurdle, providing the answer to the last hurdle as your first guess. This can give you several clues or none, depending on the words. For the final hurdle, every correct answer from previous hurdles is shown, with correct and misplaced letters clearly shown.

An important note is that the number of times a letter is highlighted from previous guesses does necessarily indicate the number of times that letter appears in the final hurdle.

If you find yourself stuck at any step of today's Hurdle, don't worry! We have you covered.
