NYT Connections Sports Edition today: Hints and answers for June 23, 2026
Today's Connections: Sports Edition will be easier if you know college football.
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.
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 sports 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 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 before 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.

Jon Stewart has a strong reaction to Trump sending JD Vance to negotiate with Iran
Tensions between the U.S. and Iran are ongoing, but fear not: the country has its best man on the case.
In the clip above, Jon Stewart reacts to the news that JD Vance is being sent to the negotiations with a long, drawn out, "Noooooooo!" followed by some commentary on how things are going so far.
"It's a risky move on [Donald] Trump's part, given that the first time he sent JD Vance overseas, JD Vance killed Pope Francis," says Stewart in the Daily Show monologue above. "It happened. 88 years. Pope Francis lived in leper colonies, went through so much in his life, survived. Spent 10 minutes with JD Vance and went, 'Check please, I'm out.'"
Stewart then cuts to footage of Vance appearing to be snubbed by Qatar's prime minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani.
"Well that is awkward," says Stewart. "JD Vance really answers the question, 'What if a middle school dance were a person?'"

How to watch I Love Boosters: Find out when one of our favorite movies of the year is streaming
Writer/director Boots Riley (Sorry to Bother You and I'm A Virgo) made his return to the big screen in 2026 with another clever genre-bender. I Love Boosters is an "unabashedly anti-capitalist satire that's star-studded and outrageously fun," writes Mashable's reviewer. It's only June, but it's already cracked our list of the best films of the year.
When we say star-studded, we really mean it. The cast includes Keke Palmer, Naomi Ackie, Demi Moore, Don Cheadle, Taylour Paige, Poppy Liu, Eiza González, Will Poulter, and LaKeith Stanfield.
As quite the sleeper hit of the season, you might've missed it in theaters. That's alright — now's your chance to catch it on the small screen. Here's everything you need to know to watch I Love Boosters at home.
What is I Love Boosters about?I Love Boosters follows a group of women called the Velvet Gang, led by Corvette (Palmer). The Velvet Gang are what is known as "boosters," a group that steals designer clothes from high-end retailers and resells them at low prices to their community. The Velvet Gang calls it "fashion-forward philanthropy," but fashion designer Christie Smith (Moore) sees it as theft from "low-class urban bitches."
"From there, the Velvet Gang steps up their game with the help of some new allies, who are less interested in reselling designer duds than in kick-starting a workers' rights movement against Smith's sweatshop industry," writes Mashable Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko in her review.
Check out the full trailer:
How to watch I Love Boosters at home Credit: NeonI Love Boosters opened in theaters on May 22, 2026. If you missed out, no biggie; it's now officially available to watch at home in a couple of different ways just a month later. As of June 23, 2026, you can buy it or rent it. You'll also be able to stream it at a later date. See the details below.
Buy or rent on digitalThe Neon film officially makes its at-home debut via video-on-demand retailers on June 23, 2026. You can purchase I Love Boosters for your own digital library or rent it for 30 days.
Here are some quick links to buy the film on digital:
Apple TV — $24.99 to buy, $19.99 to rent
Fandango at Home — $24.99 to buy, $19.99 to rent
Prime Video — $24.99 to buy, $19.99 to rent
While there has been no exact streaming date revealed yet for I Love Boosters, we know that, as a Neon film, it will make its debut on Hulu. It's hard to predict when it will join the Hulu library, as Neon films don't always follow a strict schedule. But we can assume it will be later this summer. Stay tuned.
Hulu subscriptions start at $11.99 per month, but there are a few different ways you can save. We've rounded up the best ongoing Hulu streaming deals below.
The best Hulu streaming dealsBest Hulu deal for most people: Hulu annual subscription Opens in a new window Credit: Hulu Hulu (with ads) annual subscription $119.99 per year (save $23.89) Get DealThe best way to cut back on the cost of a Hulu subscription is to opt for an annual plan instead of a monthly plan. You'll pay for a year up front for $119.99 instead of $143.88, which knocks the monthly cost to $9.99 per month when you break it down. That's about 16% or just shy of $24 in savings. It's not the biggest discount ever, but every dollar counts in this economy.
Best bundle deal: Get Hulu and Disney+ for 50% off Opens in a new window Credit: Hulu / Disney+ Hulu and Disney+ (with ads) $11.99 per month (save $11.99 per month) for six months Get DealOne of the best deals in the streaming world is Disney's bundle plan, and for a limited time, you can sign up for a six-month subscription to both for only $11.99 per month (reg. $12.99 per month). That means you'll get one streaming service completely for free for six months. After the six-month promotional period, the price bumps up to a dollar more per month, which is still a pretty epic deal.
Best for students: Hulu Student Opens in a new window Credit: Hulu Hulu Student (with ads) $1.99 per month (save $10 per month) Get DealCollege students can knock 83% or $10 off per month on a Hulu with ads subscription. Sign up through the Hulu Student promotional page and verify your college email address via SheerID. Then the price will drop from $11.99 to just $1.99 per month. The deal is valid as long as your student status can be verified.
Best for T-Mobile users: Hulu (with ads) free for select customers Opens in a new window Credit: T-Mobile / Hulu Hulu (with ads) free for select T-Mobile customers Get DealAside from the free trial, the only way you can get Hulu for free in 2026 is through T-Mobile's Go5G Next and Experience Beyond plans (you'll also get Netflix for free and Apple TV+ for $3). If you're already on one of these plans, head over to the T-Mobile promo page and choose "redeem now" to claim the offer. Just enter your T-Mobile number and account details to sign up for Hulu.
The interstellar comet was probably way older than scientists thought
An interstellar comet that recently passed through the solar system may have formed as long as 12 billion years ago, making it one of the oldest planet-building materials ever observed.
Comet 3I/ATLAS is only the third confirmed interstellar object detected in our neck of space. As it passed near the sun in late 2025, it released unusually large amounts of gas, giving scientists a rare chance to study its composition in detail.
Observations from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope focused on the comet's isotopes — different versions of hydrogen and carbon that act like long-lasting chemical fingerprints. Those measurements showed values that do not match any known comet from our own solar system or nearby star-forming regions.
Scientists say the results point to something unusual: Comet 3I/ATLAS likely formed in an extremely cold, chemically primitive region of the early Milky Way and may preserve material from a planetary system that formed more than 7 billion years before the sun and Earth. That would make it about 4 billion years older than some initial predictions, and a rare surviving fragment of the galaxy's earliest days.
"This was a unique opportunity to study an ancient object from the distant galaxy," said NASA astro-chemist Martin Cordiner, lead author of the study, in a statement. "On the one hand, we get direct insight into that distant time and place, and on the other, we learn something about how unusual our own solar system may be."
SEE ALSO: Astronomers see a 'galaxy in a bottle' near the Milky Way's coreA comet is a small, icy object left over from the beginning of a star system. It is made mostly of frozen gases, water ice, dust, and rock. When it gets close to a star, like the sun, some of that ice warms up and turns directly into gas, skipping over the liquid phase. The gas forms a glowing cloud and sometimes a tail pointing away from the star.
This foreign comet came from another part of the galaxy and was later ejected — likely by a gravitational scrape from a planet or passing star — before drifting across interstellar space for hundreds of millions of years. Scientists only know about two other interstellar visitors having passed through our neighborhood: 'Oumuamua in 2017, which turned out not to be a comet, and Comet 2I/Borisov in 2019.
Ratios of heavy carbon and heavy hydrogen never seen among comets in our solar system appeared in the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS that passed through in 2025, according to NIRSpec observations from the James Webb Space Telescope. Credit: NASA / ESA / CSA / STScI / M.Cordiner / Alyssa PaganOne of the strongest clues about Comet 3I/ATLAS's age and origins comes from its water, which contains an unusually high amount of deuterium, a heavier form of hydrogen. The level is more than 30 times higher than in typical solar system comets. Its carbon isotope ratios also fall outside the range seen in nearby gas clouds and young planetary systems.
Taken together, the chemistry suggests the comet formed in temperatures below about -400 degrees Fahrenheit and has changed very little since then. The findings from the Webb study appear in the journal Nature.
Researchers also say the carbon data points to a birthplace in a region of the Milky Way that was poor in heavy elements but enriched by earlier generations of massive stars. That matches conditions expected during an early burst of star formation in the galaxy's history.
While the Webb data is enlightening, scientists cannot trace the comet back to a specific star system. Over billions of years, gravitational encounters with other bodies throughout the Milky Way would have scrambled its trajectory beyond reconstruction, so researchers have relied on its chemistry instead of its orbit.
If the age estimate holds, 3I/ATLAS offers a direct glimpse into how some of the first Milky Way planets formed.
"For us as scientists, finding these rare isotopes is fascinating, but the bigger picture here is looking at the possibilities of prebiotic chemistry elsewhere in the galaxy," said Stefanie Milam, a co-author from NASA, in a statement. "So far, we know of only one place in the vast cosmos where chemical ingredients led to life – our solar system, our Earth. Analysis of these interstellar objects is a major step towards learning how common, or uncommon, the conditions for the evolution of life are in the universe."
FIFA World Cup schedule today: Games, kickoff times, livestream info for June 23
Every day is a big one for the 2026 World Cup, but today's action features some particularly exciting group games — fixtures that soccer fans won't want to miss.
Today, June 23, sees Portugal and England take part in two of four scheduled games. Both teams are considered contenders to go far, but Portugal had a tough start while England were on fire.
It all kicks off today at 1 p.m. ET, with action going through the afternoon and evening. Here's everything you need to know to tune in live today.
FIFA World Cup schedule today: June 23Group K: Portugal vs. Uzbekistan (Houston Stadium) — kickoff at 1 p.m. ET
Group L: England vs. Ghana (Boston Stadium) — kickoff at 4 p.m. ET
Group L: Panama vs. Croatia (Toronto Stadium) — kickoff at 7 p.m. ET
Group J: Colombia vs. DR Congo (Guadalajara Stadium) — kickoff at 10 p.m. ET
Portugal entered the World Cup as one of the favorites to win thanks to a superstar squad led by Cristiano Ronaldo. But they faltered in the opening game against lower-ranked DR Congo, a game that ended 1-1. It was a poor start for CR7, who has failed to score in 10 straight international games. The smart money is on Portugal turning things around against Uzbekistan — but the group stage is always full of surprises.
Live coverage will be on FOX and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.
Watch England vs. GhanaEngland overcame a defensively weak first half against Croatia and scored a decisive win, putting to rest any questions over their squad selection. Fans would expect them to beat Ghana and secure a spot in the knockout stage — particularly with goal scorers Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, and Marcus Rashford in good form.
Live coverage will be on FOX and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.
Watch Panama vs. CroatiaCroatia are always a team to watch at big tournaments. Led by Luka Modric, they reached the final and semi-final at the last two World Cups. But they suffered a morale-crushing loss to England in their opening game and need to beat Panama to stand a chance of progressing beyond the group stage. Is this generation of Croatian players past their best? Or will they prove that the England loss was just a blip?
Live coverage will be on FOX and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.
Watch Colombia vs. DR CongoColombia scored big in their opening game, beating Uzbekistan 3-1, while DR Congo surprised fans by holding Portugal to a draw. That makes this a crucial group fixture. Colombia will be the favorites here, but DR Congo have already defied the odds once in this tournament. As Cape Verde have proved against Spain and Uruguay, it's possible for lightning to strike twice.
Live coverage will be on FS1 and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.

Not interested in signing up for a standalone streaming service like Fox One or Peacock? You can sign up for a live TV cable replacement service, like YouTube TV or Hulu + Live TV.
These services carry over 100 live channels, but run off a WiFi connection. You'll get live access to Fox and FS1, plus a whole lot more. Here are some options to consider:
YouTube TV — 10-day trial, then $67.99/month for 3 months
Fubo Sports — 1-day trial, then $45.99/month for 1 month
Hulu + Live TV — 3-day trial, then $89.99/month
It's possible to watch the World Cup for free on international services like ITVX, BBC iPlayer, NOS, or RTÉ. Our global World Cup watch guide can walk you through the process.
You will need a VPN to live stream the World Cup on these free streaming services. We recommend ExpressVPN — a Mashable-tested service and an Official Tournament Supporter of the FIFA World Cup in the U.S., Canada, and Europe — as our VPN of choice for sport. It offers servers in 105 countries, a user-friendly app available on all major devices, a speedy connection, and up to 10 simultaneous connections.

Its Amazon Prime Day again — heres how to use a Visa gift card to shop
Have a Visa gift card that you keep forgetting to use? 'Tis the season to break that bad boy out. You'll be able to squeeze way more out of those free funds if you shop during Amazon's four-day Prime Day sale, which officially runs from June 23-26 in 2026. With major deals on everything from headphones to books and TVs to power stations, you can stretch your Visa gift card and get more bang for your buck. But how do you actually use it to shop on Amazon?
Adding a Visa gift card on Amazon isn't the process that you'd expect. While it is technically a gift card, it can't be registered as a gift card like an official Amazon gift card would. Instead, you'll have to register the gift card like you would register a legit Visa debit or credit card to start using it as a payment method. If you're unsure how to go about it, we've got your back.
SEE ALSO: How to check or reload your Amazon gift card balance How to add a Visa gift card to make purchases on AmazonThe process might seem complicated, but follow these simple steps and you should have no issues:
Go to Amazon on your phone, tablet, or computer and find your Account tab. On the mobile app, your Account lives in the little person icon at the bottom of the screen and in the three horizontal lines at the bottom right side of the screen. On a web browser, hover over Accounts & Lists at the top right corner of the webpage, then select Account from the dropdown menu that appears.
Once there, scroll to find the Your Payments tab. This option will take you to your digital wallet where you can view your added payment methods.
Click on Add a payment method. Because the gift card is a Visa, it functions like a regular debit or credit card, so scroll down to the credit or debit cards category to add the new card.
You'll then be prompted to add the necessary card information like the card number and expiration date.
Then, it'll ask for the Billing Address. Prepaid Visa gift cards aren't tied to a name or address, so you won't actually receive a billing statement. You can add your own address to be quick, or call the customer service number to get the card issuer's address.
There are a few caveats to consider when using a Visa gift card on Amazon. First, not all Visa gift cards may work as debit or credit cards on Amazon. Some may require users to use a CVV to authorize a purchase. Since Amazon doesn't ask for this information while adding payment methods, these Visa gift cards might not go through.
Also, Amazon doesn't allow users to combine multiple cards for a single transaction. This means that you can't cover your total with two Visa gift cards, or use up the remaining gift card balance as a partial payment and cover the rest with another credit or debit card. Be sure to keep an eye on your cart total as you chip away at it during your Prime Day shopping. Your total order cost (including shipping and taxes) can't exceed the gift card balance.
There is, thankfully, a workaround for tracking that Visa gift card balance. You can use the Visa gift card to add or reload funds on an Amazon gift card, which you can then apply toward future Amazon purchases. Once you add a Visa gift card as an Amazon payment method to your account by following the steps above, you can purchase an Amazon gift card for the full amount of the Visa gift card balance (taking into account any fees the Visa card may deduct upon use), or follow the steps in our Amazon gift card explainer to access your existing Amazon gift card balance and reload funds.

VidCon 2026 is nearly here, and it's time for me to pack my bags.
Though I'll be spending June 24 to 27 asking creators all about what's in their bags, naturally, I have to come prepared with some gear of my own.
SEE ALSO: Why VidCon still matters in 2026So what does a reporter bring in preparation for the biggest content creation meetup of the year? Obviously, my work-issued laptop is an essential, but I have a few other tech and lifestyle favorites to round out my packing list as I head to the convention for the second time.
Noise-cancelling headphonesAs a headphones reviewer, I get my pick of the lot when deciding which pair to bring with me to VidCon. The Sony WH-1000XM6s stand out because they have excellent noise cancellation, are comfortable enough to wear during hours of listening back to interviews and locking in for writing, and the ear cups fold up, making them a great portable option.
Opens in a new window Credit: Sony Sony WH-1000XM6 $398 at Amazon$459.99 Save $61.99 Shop Now A portable charger
I could fight for an open outlet in the Anaheim Convention Center. Or I could have a way to charge my laptop, charger, headphones, and a colleague's device all at the same time within arm's reach at any moment. The latter is by far the more appealing option, which is why I'm bringing along the Anker laptop power bank.

Where I go, my Owala FreeSip goes, and VidCon is no exception. Trust me when I say this is not a water bottle that's pure internet hype — in fact, it's a Mashable shopping team favorite. The FreeSip lid that allows you to use it as both a straw and an open-mouth bottle is the exact versatility I look for in a bottle. Though the 32-ounce bottle is a little on the large side for taking on the go, it does mean that I won't have to go looking for a new source of water all that often.

I have one of those brains that requires me to write with pen and paper in order to organize my thoughts. (I literally wrote out this very list in a notebook before I got to typing.) As a lifelong stationery lover, I am picky about which notebooks I use. For VidCon, I'll be bringing along my B6 Stalogy, which lies flat, has ultra-smooth paper, and is compact enough to take on the go, without being too small as to make the writing experience cramped. The light blue version I have is currently sold out at JetPens, but it is available in black and red.

Though not necessarily an essential for covering VidCon, an e-reader is a travel must-have for me. After owning it for nearly two years, I can definitely say the Kobo Libra Colour has bewitched me, body and soul. Don't believe me? I bought this e-reader for myself after reviewing it back in 2024, and my colleague, Samantha Mangino, calls it the best color e-reader on the market. I'm personally a fan of having buttons to change the pages (which none of the Kindle models do), and the shape is the perfect ergonomic fit. And when I'm winding down from a long day and am simply too tired to hold my e-reader, the Kobo remote works perfectly.

The best AirPods deals of Prime Day — AirPods Max 2 are down to a new record-low price
Amazon Prime Day has officially started. Let the fun begin.
Prime Day usually takes place in mid-July, but it got bumped up in the schedule this year: the four-day sale takes place from June 23 to June 26. Now that the sale has started, Apple products are starting to get marked down. Already, a classic $99 deal on Apple AirPods 4 wireless earbuds is available at Amazon, and we're expecting even more discounts to drop as the sale continues.
SEE ALSO: The ultimate Prime Day Apple deals guide: We're tracking prices on AirPods, iPads, and MacBooksAnd if you prefer AirPods with active noise-cancellation, you're in luck. We've seen the Apple AirPods Pro 3 as low as $179.99. Also at Amazon, you can grab a deal on the AirPods 4 with ANC earbuds starting at $148.99, saving you $30. Plus, there’s a good chance more deals will continue to pop up.
Until the sale ends on June 26, the Mashable shopping team will be bringing you the top Prime Day deals on Apple products. For now, you'll find all of the best Prime Day AirPods deals right here on this page.

Upgrade your tech with the best Prime Day Amazon Fire Tablet deals
Everyone knows that Amazon loves to discount its own devices during its Prime Day events. So far, though, the early Prime Day tablet deals are a little thin on the ground, at least where Amazon's Fire Tablet line is concerned. There's one excellent standout right now, and it's the Amazon Fire 7 Kids tablet at 50% off, which is a solid drop on a family-friendly pick anyone could use.
Beyond that, most of what we're seeing on Fire tablets is bundle-based rather than straight markdowns, so the value you'll get per bundle depends on whether you actually want the extras. But you can expect the selection to widen dramatically as we get closer to the main event.
Mashable's team of shopping experts is tracking the best early Prime Day Fire tablet deals as they land. We'll likely see even more pop up in the next week or so, so keep an eye out for additional savings.

The best Prime Day streaming deals are live: 10+ subscriptions for less than $1
Last year, Amazon surprised us by dropping a boatload of Prime Day streaming deals for the first time. In 2026, it's basically rinse and repeat. And that's not a bad thing.
Prime Day isn't just for deals on TVs and headphones anymore — it's also a great time to load up your digital libraries with streaming subscriptions, so long as you're a Prime member. (Not yet a member? Sign up here.) One of the biggest perks of having a Prime account is gaining access to Prime Video, Amazon's own streaming service. While Prime Video itself isn't on sale, tons of subscription add-ons are, including premium options like Apple TV, AMC+, and Paramount+.
In the days leading up to the official Prime Day kickoff (which takes place June 23 through 26 this year), HBO Max also dropped a killer deal. We wouldn't be surprised if even more streamers toss their hats in the ring to compete as we inch closer to the big day.
We'll be keeping an eye out for you, and updating this list as any new streaming deals roll in. While we're not expecting Black Friday-level deals, this will likely be your only chance to snag a steep discount until the end of the year — so, act fast if you see a deal you like.
Best Prime Day long-term streaming deal Opens in a new window Credit: HBO Max HBO Max 40% off annual subscriptions Get Deal Opens in a new window Credit: HBO Max HBO Max (Prime Video add-on) 40% off annual subscriptions Get Deal Why we like itHBO Max always gives us one of the best streaming deals for Black Friday, but this is the first time it's decided to hop aboard the Prime Day express. And it's kicking off its Prime Day deal debut with a bang: new and returning subscribers can get any annual subscription for 40% off. Yes, that means this deal isn't just limited to the ad-supported tier like it is on Black Friday.
Typically, HBO Max annual subscriptions cost $109.99 for the Basic with ads tier, $184.99 for Standard (no ads), and $229.99 for Premium (no ads + 4K). Through July 15, however, you'll only pay $78.99, $132.99, or $164.99, respectively. After your first year, your subscription will revert to full price unless you cancel. Still, that's 12 whole months of streaming for 40% less than usual.
Psst: If you don't want to deal with logging into another streaming service, this deal is also available in the form of a Prime Video add-on.
Best Prime Day streaming add-on deal Paramount+ streaming deals: Standalone deal Paramount+ Premium $0.99/month for 2 months (save $13/month) Get Deal prime video add-on Paramount+ (Prime Video add-on) $0.99/month for 2 months (save $13/month) Get Deal Roku add-on Paramount+ Premium (Roku add-on) $0.99/month for 2 months (save $13/month) Get Deal Why we like itLike clockwork, we can always count on Paramount+ to dish out one of the best streaming deals during major shopping events. The streamer has resurrected the exact same streaming deal from last Prime Day for 2026, only this time it's technically a better offer since Paramount+ raised its prices earlier this year. Typically $13.99 per month for a Premium subscription (that's the ad-free tier with Showtime), you'll get two months for just 99 cents a piece. That saves you $26 total.
The Paramount+ library is surprisingly robust. Premium subscribers can enjoy Paramount+ Originals like Landman and RuPaul Drag Race All Stars, Showtime series like Dexter Resurrection and Yellowjackets, CBS shows like Survivor and Big Brother live, UFC fights, and nostalgic shows from Nickelodeon and MTV. That's not even counting the massive movie lineup (including Paramount Pictures movies straight from the theater).
The discount is only valid through the end of Prime Day on June 26, so be sure to sign up before then. You can grab the deal directly through Paramount+ itself or as a subscription add-on via Prime Video or Roku.
Best Prime Day music streaming deal Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Music Unlimited Amazon Music Unlimited free for 4 months (save $11.99/month) Get Deal Why we like itIf you're not committed to a music streamer, now's a good time to check out Amazon Music Unlimited without spending a cent. Through June 29, new subscribers can secure four free months. Typically $11.99 per month for Prime members, that's a total of $47.96 in savings. Amazon Music Unlimited unlocks a massive music catalog that you can listen to on-demand, ad-free, and in the highest quality possible. Beyond music itself, Unlimited subscriptions also include "the most ad-free podcasts" of any of the major music apps, as well as one free audiobook per month via Audible. Even if you do already subscribe to another music streaming service, it's worth it to take a pause from payments for four months and lock in this deal.
