We’re just three days away from the beginning of Amazon’s annual Prime Day event, and the retailer’s been throwing little deal nuggets our way all week.

But one of the best deals we've spotted so far is on a pair of wireless earbuds that cost less than lunch.

Apple products are having a moment this weekend. We’re seeing price cuts across a range of Apple devices, including the 11-inch Apple iPad and Apple Watch Series 10. Whether these deals are due to the Fourth of July holiday or Amazon’s just pumping us up for Prime Day, we’re here for it. (A deal’s a deal.)

As of July 5, you can get a four-pack of Apple AirTags for just $74.99, down from $99. That's a 24% discount and a $24.01 savings. At that price, each AirTag costs only $18.75.

AirTags are ideal for anyone who is notorious for misplacing things, travels a lot, or has pets. An Apple AirTag weighs about 0.39 ounces and can be attached to keys, wallets, backpacks, luggage, and even a pet’s collar. (I put one AirTag on each of my beagles’ harnesses — and I had them engraved with their names, of course.) They’re also super resilient because they’re IP67 water and dust resistant.

Whenever you lose the item you’ve tagged, you can use Apple’s Find My app to see its location on a map. You can also ask it to play a little sound, so you can find it if it's nearby. If you still can’t find the lost item, you can put the AirTag in Lost Mode, which will notify you when it’s detected in the Find My network.

We're just a few short days away from the official launch of Amazon Prime Day 2025. This year, the retailer has blessed us with four shopping days instead of the normal two and we're not mad. Prime Day offers some of the year's best sale prices so it's a great time to score that tablet you've been considering or making some much-needed kitchen upgrades. However, there's already an excellent sale price on a super portable tablet from Apple if you don't want to wait until Tuesday.

As of July 6, the Apple iPad mini (A17 Pro, 128GB) is on sale for at Amazon for $399, marked down from the standard price of $499. That's a 20% discount that takes $100 off the price. It also matches the all-time low price at Amazon.

On Mashable's list of the best iPads, the Apple iPad mini earns the top spot as the best option for reading. In part, that's thanks to its smaller size, measuring 8.3 inches. Plus, you'll get 128GB for storing all your book downloads. This compact size will be great for packing along on upcoming summer travel.

In Mashable Shopping Reporter Samantha Mangino's review, she states, "iPad Mini isn't just a glorified e-reader, it's still a versatile tablet. Like any iPad, you can read on it, but you can also stream your favorite shows — a level of flexibility that a Kindle simply can't match."

Consider the iPad mini to be a multi-purpose device, great for streaming your favorite summer shows from bed and compact enough to come along on your next vacation.

While it's still $100 off, snag the iPad mini before the chaos of Prime Day kicks in this coming week. Order soon and you can even shop the Prime Day event from your new iPad.

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.

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.

Moon phase today: What the moon will look like on July 6, 2025

Mashable - Sun, 07/06/2025 - 06:00

Ever wonder why the moon looks different every night? Well, that's because of a thing called the lunar cycle.

This is a recurring series of eight unique phases of the moon's visibility. The whole cycle takes about 29.5 days (according to NASA), and these different phases happen as the Sun lights up different parts of the moon whilst it orbits Earth. The moon is always there, but what we see on Earth changes depending on how much it is lit up.

See what's happening with the moon tonight, July 6.

What is today’s moon phase?

As of Sunday, July 6, the moon phase is Waxing Gibbous. According to NASA's Daily Moon Observation, 83% of the moon will be lit up and visible to us on Earth.

This is day 11 of the lunar cycle, and we're only one phase away from the Full Moon. So, what can we see tonight?

With just the naked eye, you'll see plenty, the most notable being the Mare Vaporum, the Mare Imbrium, and the Mare Crisium. With binoculars, you'll also spot the Alps Mountains, Archimedes Crater, and the Alphonsus Crater.

Add a telescope to your lineup and you'll see even more, including the Rima Ariadaeus, Apollo 14, and Apollo 16.

When is the next full moon?

This month's full moon will take place on July 10. The last full moon was on June 11.

What are moon phases?

Moon phases are caused by the 29.5-day cycle of the moon’s orbit, which changes the angles between the Sun, Moon, and Earth. Moon phases are how the moon looks from Earth as it goes around us. We always see the same side of the moon, but how much of it is lit up by the Sun changes depending on where it is in its orbit. This is how we get full moons, half moons, and moons that appear completely invisible. There are eight main moon phases, and they follow a repeating cycle:

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.

Last Quarter (or Third 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.

Hurdle hints and answers for July 6, 2025

Mashable - Sun, 07/06/2025 - 06:00

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.

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.

NYT Strands hints, answers for July 6

Mashable - Sun, 07/06/2025 - 04:00

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.

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.
