Originally created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, Wordle rapidly spread to become an international phenomenon, with thousands of people around the globe playing every day. Alternate Wordle versions created by fans also sprang up, including battle royale Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that make you guess multiple words at once. 

Wordle eventually became so popular that it was purchased by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even livestream themselves playing.

What's the best Wordle starting word?

The best Wordle starting word is the one that speaks to you. But if you prefer to be strategic in your approach, we have a few ideas to help you pick a word that might help you find the solution faster. One tip is to select a word that includes at least two different vowels, plus some common consonants like S, T, R, or N.

What happened to the Wordle archive?

The entire archive of past Wordle puzzles was originally available for anyone to enjoy whenever they felt like it, but it was later taken down, with the website's creator stating it was done at the request of the New York Times. However, the New York Times then rolled out its own Wordle Archive, available only to NYT Games subscribers.

Is Wordle getting harder?

It might feel like Wordle is getting harder, but it actually isn't any more difficult than when it first began. You can turn on Wordle's Hard Mode if you're after more of a challenge, though.

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 today's Connections.

If you're reading this, you're looking for a little help playing Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game.

Strands requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There's always a theme linking every solution, along with the "spangram," a special, word or phrase that sums up that day's theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.

SEE ALSO: Mahjong, Sudoku, free crossword, and more: Play games on Mashable

By providing an opaque hint and not providing the word list, Strands creates a brain-teasing game that takes a little longer to play than its other games, like Wordle and Connections.

If you're feeling stuck or just don't have 10 or more minutes to figure out today's puzzle, we've got all the NYT Strands hints for today's puzzle you need to progress at your preferred pace.

Lady Gaga used her Best Pop Duo acceptance speech at the 2025 Grammys to lend her voice to the trans community.

"Trans people are not invisible," says Lady Gaga in the clip above, standing on stage alongisde her fellow "Die With a Smile" winner Bruno Mars. "Trans people deserve love, the queer community deserves to be lifted up. Music is love. Thank you."

Lady Gaga's comments come in the wake of President Donald Trump passing an executive order stating that the U.S. government now only recognises two sexes —the wording of which may have inadvertently made everyone in the country female.

VyprVPN has been around for over a decade and has always been a solid choice for almost any user. However, in the last two years, its app has undergone a facelift, and performance has further improved, making it a real contender for your dollars.

FINALLY.

After years of totally transparent snubs, Beyoncé has taken home the Grammy for Album of the Year for Cowboy Carter. If that ain't country, tell me, what is?

At the 67th Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday, Beyoncé's speech was short and meaningful, not only thanking the Los Angeles fire department, who presented the award, for their efforts, but also thanking every songwriter, collaborator and producer who worked on Cowboy Carter.

"I just feel very full and very honoured," said Beyoncé. "It's been many, many years."

Beyoncé also paid to Black country music pioneer Linda Martell, whose presence is deeply felt throughout Cowboy Carter, even appearing on track "Spaghetti."

"I want to dedicate this to Ms. Martell," she said, "and I hope we just keep pushing forward, opening doors."

Beyoncé is the most awarded and nominated artist in Grammys history, with 32 wins and 99 nominations. Despite that, she's never won Album of the Year — though she's been nominated four times (I Am … Sasha Fierce in 2008, Beyoncé in 2013, Lemonade in 2016, and Renaissance in 2023). Even Adele said the quiet part out loud. With her fifth nomination for the award for Cowboy Carter, Beyoncé finally took the stage to accept Album of the Year on Sunday.

Now, go and turn up Cowboy Carter and stare in a loaded fashion at the Grammys.

If you’ve been searching for a solid deal on wireless earbuds, Apple AirPods 4 just hit $99.99 at Amazon, marking a fresh price drop that makes them one of the best-value wireless earbuds for iPhone users. With a 22% discount off the usual $129 price tag, this deal is as good as it gets for Apple’s latest AirPods. The updated H2 chip improved Personalized Spatial Audio and USB-C charging case make them a worthy upgrade, even if you already own an older pair.

The AirPods 4 may not come with Active Noise Cancellation, but they still deliver solid sound quality with Apple’s fine-tuned audio processing. The H2 chip enhances sound clarity and voice isolation, making them a great choice for calls in noisy environments. If you frequently hop on FaceTime, take work calls on the go, or want your podcasts to sound crystal clear, this is a solid pick. Battery life is also a strong suit, with up to 30 hours of listening time when using the USB-C charging case.

Durability has also been improved, with an IP54 rating, making the AirPods 4 resistant to dust, sweat, and light rain. Hit the gym, take them on a jog, or just want peace of mind in unpredictable weather; they’re built to last. The redesigned shape also means a more comfortable fit for longer listening sessions, which is always a plus if you wear earbuds for hours.

Setup is as effortless as ever; open the case near your iPhone, and they’re ready to go. They also work seamlessly across iPads, Macs, and Apple Watches, letting you switch between devices without hassle. If you’re in the Apple ecosystem, these earbuds make sense.

For casual listeners, commuters, or anyone who wants wireless earbuds that work flawlessly, the AirPods 4 at $99.99 are an absolute steal. This deal won’t last forever, though. If history is anything to go by, stock could start disappearing fast. If you’re thinking about upgrading, now’s the time to grab a pair before the price jumps back up.

As the teaser puts it, "this bitch is back."

On Sunday, Universal Pictures dropped the teaser for Gerard Johnstone's M3GAN 2.0, a follow-up to the massively popular original about the dancing AI doll going on a murderous rampage. This time, per the description, M3GAN's creator Gemma (Allison Williams) is forced to resurrect M3GAN after there's a new AI threat in town.

The teaser itself doesn't give too much away, but it does brings back the doll's viral dance, this time to the lyrics of Chappell Roan's iconic "Femininomenon".

M3GAN 2.0 is in theatres from June 27.
