Do you even have good taste in music if you can't share it online?

If you're a Spotify user, of course, that's not really a concern: It's become a yearly tradition to share your music taste with Spotify Wrapped. As we inch toward the end of October, Wrapped should be coming soon. That means you'll be able to share your taste, top songs, favorite albums, and most beloved artists with all of your friends, whether they want to see it or not.

To be clear, the 2025 version of Wrapped hasn't been released yet, but the wait shouldn't be too long. Here's what we know.

When will Spotify Wrapped be released?

The short answer is: We don't know, exactly. The slightly longer answer is: We don't know, but we have an educated guess when it will be.

Last year, Wrapped dropped on Wednesday, Dec. 4. That was the first Wednesday after Thanksgiving. In 2023, it was released on Wednesday, Nov. 29. That was — you guessed it — the first Wednesday after Thanksgiving.

Should the pattern hold, that means 2025 Spotify Wrapped would be released on Wednesday, Dec. 3. That's not a guarantee, by any means, but you can likely expect Wrapped to drop around that time, at the very least.

It shouldn't be difficult to find your Wrapped on the day it releases.

You'll likely get a notification letting you know it's ready. The Spotify app, typically speaking, also places a banner or section within your homepage that is hard to miss. Should all that fail, you can also head to the Wrapped section on Spotify's website.

The internet will certainly love the day Wrapped drops, but for now, we're still left waiting.

2025 is nearly over, and it's the time of the year when music streaming services compete to create the best overview of your yearly music journey.

Today, Apple Music launched its Apple Music Replay '25, and as always, the company is highlighting the facts that it's more personal than ever.

Having seen a demo beforehand, I do have to agree. Yes, it's still a replay of your favorite artists, albums, and songs of the year, with some data sprinkled on top, telling you how many minutes you've spent listening to music, or the number of artists you listened to.

SEE ALSO: Apple was a role model, until it wasn't

However, you'll also find out which were the new artists that you discovered this year; which artists you kept coming back to, and which artists made a comeback into your rotation.

And, of course, you get a playlist with all your favorite songs of the year inside, as well as your monthly Replay highlights. Finally, if you want to listen to all of the songs you've played the most since joining Apple Music, you can do so in the Replay All Time playlist.

That's a lot of minutes played. Credit: Apple

Not everything will show up for every user, making the experience a bit adventure-like. The Replay and all the accompanying playlists and experiences can be accessed in the Home tab in Apple Music.

Alongside the personalized Replay, Apple also revealed its 2025 year-end charts; this time, the chart is topped by ROSÉ and Bruno Mars’ unavoidable hit “APT.”

Finally, Apple added some new experiences for the artists, which also get a replay of their own, showing them new metrics such as listenership growth, and year-over-year performance summaries.

Shingo Yamashita's Cosmic Princess Kaguya! is hitting Netflix in January, and judging by the above trailer, we're in for an absolute treat.

It's the Chainsaw Man and Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1 opening sequence director's feature debut, set in the dazzling, music-fuelled world of Tsukuyomi. According to Netflix's Tudum, the anime film is inspired by Japanese folktale The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter.

In the trailer, former moon resident Kaguya (voiced by Yuko Natsuyoshi) befriends Earthling, songwriter, and student Iroha (Anna Nagase). Not wanting to return to her lunar home, Kaguya instead wants to become a top idol and streamer, specifically in the virtual realm of Tsukuyomi. There, she meets "the diva of Tsukuyomi," Yachiyo (Saori Hayami), who sings Cosmic Princess Kaguya!'s main theme "Ex-Otogibanashi" ("Ex-Fairy Tale"), composed for the movie by Vocaloid producer ryo (supercell).

How will Kaguya reach her dream? By singing one of Iroha's compositions, the HoneyWorks-written "Watashiha Watashinokotoga Suki" ("I like who I am"), which you hear a snippet of in the trailer. And Vocaloid fans, you can also expect songs by kz (livetune), Aqu3ra, yuigot, and 40mP in the movie too.

Cosmic Princess Kaguya! is streaming on Netflix on Jan. 22.

The NYT Connections puzzle today is not too difficult to solve if you don't have a dirty mouth.

Connections is the one of the most popular New York Times word games that's captured the public's attention. 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 today's 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 become a social media hit. The Times credits associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu with helping to create the new word game and bringing it to the publications' Games section. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

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

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.

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

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.

Today's NYT Strands hints are easy if you love bugs.

Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game, 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.

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.

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?

Donald Trump's Thanksgiving rant on Truth Social angered a lot of people, including some Republicans, after the president used the R slur to describe Minnesota governor Tim Walz.

"Walz responded with four words of his own: 'Release the MRI results,'" says Stephen Colbert in the Late Show clip above, responding to the fallout from Trump's post. "In response Trump says he will release MRI results but doesn't know what part of his body was scanned. Ah, here's a theory: Maybe the part that's broken is the part that's supposed to know?"

Colbert goes on to play a recent clip of the president talking about the MRI taken on his heart and abdomen in October, with the president telling reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday, "It wasn't the brain because I took a cognitive test and I aced it."

"No, it's true," says Colbert, in Trump impression mode. "I did so well on the cognitive they put me in the extra credit tube."

Donald Trump's Thanksgiving day message was angry and offensive even for him, with the president ranting on his own Truth Social about how people had allowed the country to be "divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at," before going on to call Minnesota Governor Tim Walz the R slur.

"I hate to be the one to tell you, our country isn't being laughed at — they're laughing at you," says Jimmy Kimmel in the clip above. "I wonder why he didn't get that Nobel Peace Prize. It makes no sense."

Kimmel goes on to play a clip of Trump doubling down on his comments while being interviewed on Air Force One, saying "I think there's something wrong with him" about Walz.

"Another bold statement from the President of the Eighth Grade," says Kimmel.

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.

We're just a few days away from the full moon, so it's looking nice and bright in the sky, with plenty to see when you look up. Keep reading to find out exactly what's happening on the moon's surface tonight.

What is today’s moon phase?

As of Tuesday, Dec. 2, the moon phase is Waxing Gibbous. This means 91% of the moon is lit up tonight, according to NASA's Daily Moon Observation.

It's day 12 of the lunar cycle now, and without any visual aids you should be able to see the Mares Crisium and Fecunditatis. You'll also be able to spot the Copernicus Crater. With binoculars, the Endymion, Alphonsus and Posidonius Craters come into view. And finally, with a telescope, you can catch a glimpse of the Apollo 15 and 16 landing spots, and the Rima Hyginus.

When is the next full moon?

The next full moon will be on Dec. 4, which will be the last of three consecutive supermoons. The last full moon was on Nov. 5.

What are moon phases?

NASA explains that the lunar cycle (which is about 29.5 days long) is made up of the Moon’s phases, which describe how the Moon looks from Earth as it travels around us. We view the same side of the Moon at all times, but the sunlight hitting its surface shifts as it moves through its orbit. That changing illumination is what makes the Moon appear full, half-lit, or not visible at all. The cycle includes eight distinct phases:

New Moon - The moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye).

Waxing Crescent - A small sliver of light appears on the right side (Northern Hemisphere).

First Quarter - Half of the moon is lit on the right side. It looks like a half-moon.

Waxing Gibbous - More than half is lit up, but it’s not quite full yet.

Full Moon - The whole face of the moon is illuminated and fully visible.

Waning Gibbous - The moon starts losing light on the right side. (Northern Hemisphere)

Third Quarter (or Last Quarter) - Another half-moon, but now the left side is lit.

Waning Crescent - A thin sliver of light remains on the left side before going dark again.
