The good news? Riz Ahmed is hosting SNL UK this weekend. The bad? He's apparently very, very method.

In the promo skit above, cast members Ayoade Bamgboye and George Fouracres enter the Bait star and creator's dressing room to find him dancing to music while holding a small chest of sweets. But the tone abruptly shifts when Fouracres asks him about his performance in Aneil Karia's 2025 version of Hamlet, prompting Ahmed's smile to vanish.

"I wasn't playing Hamlet, I went full method," says Ahmed. "I became Hamlet."

"What, you went on a real life murderous rampage to avenge the death of your father?" asks Fouracres.

Ahmed's response is to lift a finger to his lips, whisper "no" and then break into a slightly unnerving grin.

Welcome to your guide to Pips, the latest game in the New York Times catalogue.

Released in August 2025, the Pips puts a unique spin on dominoes, creating a fun single-player experience that could become your next daily gaming habit.

Currently, if you're stuck, the game only offers to reveal the entire puzzle, forcing you to move onto the next difficulty level and start over. However, we have you covered! Below are piecemeal answers that will serve as hints so that you can find your way through each difficulty level.

How to play Pips

If you've ever played dominoes, you'll have a passing familiarity for how Pips is played. As we've shared in our previous hints stories for Pips, the tiles, like dominoes, are placed vertically or horizontally and connect with each other. The main difference between a traditional game of dominoes and Pips is the color-coded conditions you have to address. The touching tiles don't necessarily have to match.

SEE ALSO: Wordle today: Answer, hints for April 1, 2026

The conditions you have to meet are specific to the color-coded spaces. For example, if it provides a single number, every side of a tile in that space must add up to the number provided. It is possible – and common – for only half a tile to be within a color-coded space.

Here are common examples you'll run into across the difficulty levels:

• Number: All the pips in this space must add up to the number.

• Equal: Every domino half in this space must be the same number of pips.

• Not Equal: Every domino half in this space must have a completely different number of pips.

• Less than: Every domino half in this space must add up to less than the number.

• Greater than: Every domino half in this space must add up to more than the number.

If an area does not have any color coding, it means there are no conditions on the portions of dominoes within those spaces.

Today's Connections: Sports Edition is for people who love skateboarding.

As we've shared in previous hints stories, this is a 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.

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.

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.

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.

Today's NYT Strands hints are easy if you're as quiet as a mouse.

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.

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.

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?

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.

So while the Big Spring Sale has been a great time to save on classic spring-y goodies like spring cleaning essentials, fitness trackers, and outdoor gear, it's just as smart a time to save on hot weather staples before the next heat dome hits.

We've rounded up the best Amazon deals on cooling products still live at the Big Spring Sale. Use the table of contents dropdown menu to skip to a specific category, like assorted fans, cooling pillows, or power stations.

Amazon is often generous with discounts on its own devices during sales like these, and, as you will see from the list below, there were a lot of excellent deals this week. The Amazon Echo Dot stands out among the crowd in particular because it’s almost reduced to half-off and it packs so many features into one purchase. Plus, you can even get a limited-edition Star Wars Tie Fighter stand for it (which is pretty awesome and also on sale for the spring sale).

The Ninja Nutri Blender is one of the best deals we've found under $100 in the kitchen category. The blender comes with three separate cups and lids, which is convenient for taking your blended beverage on the go. The device has not seen a dip below $100 since earlier this year and likely won't until another big sale. The highly reviewed blender is widely beloved by customers for its strength, speed, and durability.

Amazon's Big Spring Sale ends tonight (March 31 at 11:59 p.m. PT), and the deals on Apple AirPods are still hanging around, for the most part. The AirPods Pro 3 are still on sale for under $200, while the first-generation AirPods Max are still marked down to $449.99 — though if you venture beyond Amazon, you can find them for even cheaper.

The standard AirPods 4 (both with and without ANC) have gotten slightly more expensive since dipping by $30 at the start of the Big Spring Sale last week, but they're not back up to full price just yet. And Amazon still has the best prices on them anywhere; they're matched at Walmart and B&H Photo, but more expensive at Target and Best Buy.

If you're not looking to drop a ton of cash on new earbuds, the AirPods 4 without active noise cancellation have dropped to $114.95 at Amazon, saving you $14.05 on list price. (They were $99.99 earlier in the sale, FYI.) We think these are the best budget earbuds for Apple users. They sound nice, fit well in most people's ears, and offer up to five hours of listening per charge.

The AirPods Pro 3 are some of our favorite earbuds for Apple users, earning spots on both our lists of the best headphones and best earbuds. Our review had high praise for them, with writer Adam Doud calling them, "a remarkable upgrade in functionality over their predecessors, with better battery life and ANC, as well as a new heart rate sensor."

Boasting great sound quality and noise-cancelling features, alongside a hefty battery life that can last up to eight hours (with ANC) on a single charge, these AirPods are a nice upgrade indeed. During Amazon's Big Spring Sale, they're marked down to $199.

Premium noise-canceling headphones from brands like Sony and Bose are much better value, but AirPods Max are a popular pick nonetheless. (If nothing else, they're super stylish.) Apple announced the AirPods Max 2 with better ANC and smart features earlier this month, and now the first-gen models with USB-C charging are on sale on Amazon for $449.99, or $100 off. But don't buy them there: We spotted them on sale for just $399.99 at Woot, Amazon's daily deals site. That matches their record-low price on Amazon itself.

Today, March 31, is the final day of Amazon's third annual Big Spring Sale. The Amazon Spring Sale is your best chance to save until Prime Day in July (or maybe June?), so take a second to take one last look at what's still on sale. There's a lot.

Many of the deals featured in this sale do reflect the spirit of the season: Outdoor gear and yard care supplies, spring cleaning supplies, spring fashion, and other household essentials have naturally been in the spotlight. However, there's no shortage of savings on QLED TVs, flagship Sony headphones, Apple devices, Shark and Dyson hair tools, and of course, Amazon devices like Kindles and Echo smart speakers.

Our editors' most recommended deals will be marked with a 🔥 emoji. Deals that are no longer available will be noted with a strikethrough.

According to our review, Apple's AirPods Pro 3 are an "easy buy" if you've been looking for a new pair of AirPods. It's easy to see why: They have excellent ANC, eight hours of listening time per charge, a built-in heart rate monitor, and live translation features. While they hit a lower price of $184 back in February, this markdown is still worth checking out.

The final day of the Big Spring Sale 2026 opened with a surprise: The Sony XM5 noise-cancelling headphones are finally on sale at a price we can recommend. In fact, these wireless headphones are at a new record price for one day only.

While these headphones have since been eclipsed by the XM6 model, they're still some of the best headphones in the world. They have 98% of the same features as the newer, pricier model, and our reviewers have praised them for years for their audio quality and active noise cancellation.

Best vacuum deal Shark PowerDetect Pet Plus Clean & Empty $399.99 at Amazon
$599.99 Save $200   Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it

Spring cleaning deals look like restocking on laundry pods to some, and finally buying a new vacuum to others. If you're in the latter camp, the Shark PowerDetect Pet Plus Clean & Empty is probably the best cordless vacuum value you'll find this season. Senior Shopping Reporter Leah Stodart named it the best stick vacuum for carpets after it completely schooled the layers of cat hair on her rugs at home — not surprising, considering the PowerDetect is Shark's most powerful cordless vacuum. It empties its own dustbin every time you hang it back up to charge.

The Shark Pet IX141 is another good stick vacuum option if you're trying to spend less than 150. Former Mashable reporter (and dog parent) Tim Marcin called this Shark stick vac "life-changing" when he wrote about it for us.

Weighing in at just under 25 pounds, Anker's Solix C1000 Gen 2 portable power station makes an excellent camping companion. The power station can keep your devices juiced up and even has enough oomph to power up some cute fairy lights or whip up a quick meal in the air fryer. It can also recharge in under 50 minutes, which can really come in handy when you're off the grid.

Mashable's reviewer called it "the perfect model for taking on a weekend camping trip or keeping around the house for occasional power outages."

If you're an on-the-go gamer, the Asus ROG Flow Z13 should make your shortlist. It has a 180Hz display (so smooth), a detachable keyboard, and an AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 chip that offers RTX 4060-level graphics performance.

Today is the last day of Amazon's Big Spring Sale, and usually we're urging you to take advantage of last-minute deals. Earlier today, it looked like that'd be impossible, as every single Kindle, exempting the Kindle Kids line, had sold out.

In a dramatic turn, the final hours of the Big Spring Sale brought back every Kindle deal, from the Colorsoft to the standard Kindle. This way, you don't actually have to wait until Prime Day.

$249.99 Save $80   Get Deal

Usually, the Kindle Colorsoft is way too expensive for my liking, but once it goes on sale, all is forgiven. During Amazon's Big Spring Sale, the Kindle Colorsoft is marked down in a big way. Right now, grab the Kindle Colorsoft for just $169.99. That saves you $80 off its $249.99 list price.

The big draw of the Kindle Colorsoft is its color display. The e-reader has a color resolution of 150 ppi and a black-and-white resolution of 300 ppi. Even with the addition of color to the Kindle Colorsoft, it remains a speedy device. Plus, it comes with no ads. Temper your expectations around color with the Colorsoft: the hues tend to be more muted than what you get on a TV or tablet.

For most of Amazon's Big Spring Sale, Sony was the star of headphone deals.

Basically every single model, from the new XM6 headphones and earbuds, to the months-old LinkBuds Clip received major savings. But for March 31, the last day of Amazon's Spring Sale, nearly every single pair of headphones is back up to their list price — except one major one.

The Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones are down to a record-low price of $243. The last-gen flagship earbuds are still a great buy, especially at this price point (which we'll get into more below). The only major catch? The deal is a limited-time offer through the end of the sale. Come April 1, the savings will be gone. Learn more about the savings, along with the one other Sony deal left standing, below.

Note: Deals marked with a strikethrough are no longer available at the time of writing.

Yes, the Sony WH-1000XM5s are older, but the Spring Sale has been a great time to grab last-gen tech for a fraction of the price, and these are no exception, dropping to a record-low price of $243. Plus, these headphones hardly show their age.

When our headphones reviewer, Bethany Allard, tested the new XM6 headphones directly against the XM5 headphones, she found that while the newer headphones performed slightly better, there wasn't a huge gulf of difference. Certainly not one that would justify the current $226.99 price difference between the two headphones (yes, you can almost get two pairs of XM5 headphones for the price of one pair of XM6 headphones).

There are two major catches to opting for the XM5 headphones. One, their ear cups don't fold in, which makes them slightly bulkier and less ideal for travel. Two, you have to make your decision soon — like today. This markdown is only live through March 31.

We've made it to the final hours of Amazon's Big Spring Sale, which means the pressure is on to pick up any last-minute savings.

The weeklong sale officially ends March 31 at 11:59 p.m. PT. How to shop during those remaining hours? You could frantically sort through page after page on Amazon, or go the slightly less overwhelming route of looking up lists of hundreds of the best deals (we're partial to our own). Both are valid approaches — but might we recommend a more curated option, like this list of the 10 best deals worth grabbing before midnight?

To create this list, we not only chose category bests on everything from headphones to beauty tech to robot vacuums. We also considered how frequently these items go on sale. For instance, the Apple AirPods Pro 3 didn't make the cut, because while $199 is a solid price to grab them for, they also drop down to that price with enough regularity that you don't need to worry about grabbing them before midnight. If you're in the market for some noise-cancelling headphones, we recommend checking out the Sony XM5s ahead.

You'll find more info on that, along with nine other of the best last-minute deals available, below.

Best headphones deal

If folding ear cups aren't a must for you on a pair of headphones, the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones are actually a much better value than the Sony WH-1000XM6 (seriously, we put them head-to-head). That's especially the case with the XM5 headphones down to an impressively low $243 (saving you 39%), while the XM6 headphones are back up to their full price.

The Dyson Supersonic Nural is an excellent hair dryer that feels luxe, has temperature-adjusting features, comes with quality magnetic attachments for tailored styling, and dries hair as fast as we've ever seen a dryer do it. That said, it's also expensive as hell. However, with this Amazon deal it's slightly less expensive, clocking in at $350 instead of $450, and bringing it closer to the prices of other premium hair dryers.

The Shokz OpenDots One earbuds are our absolute favorite open earbuds for most people, thanks to their great sound quality, wear, and design that's as tailored to daily use as it is to exercise. Shokz products can be harder to catch on sale, so you'll want to grab these while they're still $40 off.

Amazon sales are the best time to grab Amazon products. We've already seen the regular Kindle jump back up to its full price once during the Big Spring Sale — you'll want to make sure you grab it while it's still down to $95.

Our resident robot vacuum expert, Leah Stodart, called out the Eufy C28 as the best overall robot vacuum deal, especially if you're looking to spend under $1,000. On this robovac, she writes, "It's still a 2026 premium robot vacuum and mop combo that rocked during my testing, and it's likely the most affordable mainstream roller mop robot vacuum you'll find this season."

As I mentioned with the Kindle, Amazon's sales are a great time to grab the brand's own devices on sale. The Echo Spot is an excellent option for anyone who wants their smart speaker to take up minimal space and also function as a great alarm clock. At $50, it's just $5 away from its lowest price ever.

The brand is known for making great rice cookers, making this option a steal if you have somehow managed to get through life without a rice cooker so far.
