Wordle hints today for #1,451: Clues and answer for Monday, June 9
Hey, there! Welcome to the start of a new week. We hope it's a wonderful one for you. Whenever you need a little downtime today, you'll have a new round of Wordle to keep you company, at least for a few moments. In case you need some help to solve it, here's our daily Wordle guide with some hints and the answer for Monday's puzzle (#1,451).
It may be that you're a Wordle newcomer and you're not completely sure how to play the game. We're here to help with that too.
Wordle is a deceptively simple daily word game that first emerged in 2021. The gist is that there is one five-letter word to deduce every day by process of elimination. The daily word is the same for everyone.
Wordle blew up in popularity in late 2021 after creator Josh Wardle made it easy for players to share an emoji-based grid with their friends and followers that detailed how they fared each day. The game's success spurred dozens of clones across a swathe of categories and formats.
The New York Times purchased Wordle in early 2022 for an undisclosed sum. The publication said that players collectively played Wordle 5.3 billion times in 2024. So, it's little surprise that Wordle is one of the best online games and puzzles you can play daily.
To start playing Wordle, you simply need to enter one five-letter word. The game will tell you how close you are to that day's secret word by highlighting letters that are in the correct position in green. Letters that appear in the word but aren't in the right spot will be highlighted in yellow. If you guess any letters that are not in the secret word, the game will gray those out on the virtual keyboard. However, you can still use those letters in subsequent guesses.
You'll only have six guesses to find each day's word, though you still can use grayed-out letters to help narrow things down. It's also worth remembering that letters can appear in the secret word more than once.
Wordle is free to play on the NYT's website and apps, as well as on Meta Quest headsets and Discord. The game refreshes at midnight local time. If you log into a New York Times account, you can track your stats, including the all-important win streak.
If you have a NYT subscription that includes full access to the publication's games, you don't have to stop after a single round of Wordle. You'll have access to an archive of more than 1,400 previous Wordle games. So if you're a relative newcomer, you'll be able to go back and catch up on previous editions.
In addition, paid NYT Games members have access to a tool called the Wordle Bot. This can tell you how well you performed at each day's game.

In case you still haven't quite figured it out by that point, we'll then provide the first letter of the word. Those who are still stumped after that can continue on to find out the answer for today's Wordle.
This should go without saying, but make sure to scroll slowly. Spoilers are ahead.

Cole Escola Sets The Record Straight About Nicole Scherzinger Tonys Joke
Cole Escola is making it clear that a joke they made at this year's Tony Awards was not an intentional dig at Nicole Scherzinger. During Sunday night's ceremony, Cole picked up the award for Best Actor In A Play for their hit show Oh, Mary!. While they were speaking to the press backstage, the winner of Best Actress In A Musical was announced, and when it was revealed that Nicole was the recipient, they quipped: 'The speculating is over… four more years.' Cole Escola reacts to Nicole Scherzinger winning a Tony last night:'Four more years' — Pop Crave (@PopCrave) June 9, 2025 Many interpreted this as shade at Nicole, who last year found herself at the centre of backlash when she interacted with several social media posts that appeared to endorse Donald Trump (she later apologised 'for the hurt caused' by her social media activity, insisting that the 'many presumptions' that were 'being drawn' about her did not 'reflect who I am, what I stand for, or who l voted for'). Posting on their Instagram story on Tuesday night, Cole insisted: 'When I made that joke when I said, 'four more years, four more years', I meant it like, 'well, she won, she's who we've got for the next four years', as if I think winning Best Lead Actress In A Musical is the same as winning a presidential election.' In their signature semi-ironic style, they then remarked: 'But you know, people just want to pit us Broadway gals against each other. And I think it's sad. 'My only sort of beef right now is with Michael Arden [the director of Maybe Happy Ending, the top winner at this year's Tonys]. And I don't want to get into it, actually. But that story's going to break tomorrow.' Cole Escola explains their alleged joke about Nicole Scherzinger winning Best Leading Actress in a Musical at the Tony Awards — Portal Nicole Scherzinger (@PortalNicole) June 10, 2025 In her apology post last year, which came a week after the US presidential election – Nicole said: 'Many of the marginalised communities feeling hurt and concerned by the results of the presidential election are people I care about most. I stand with them, as I always have, throughout my life and career. If you know me, you know that.' The former Pussycat Dolls performer won her first Tony for her work as Norma Desmond in the revival of Sunset Boulevard, having already picked up an Olivier for her performance in the show's West End run last year. Show-Stoppers, Surprises And Sequins: 17 Unmissable Moments From This Year's Tony Awards Nicole Scherzinger Reacts To Backlash After Liking And Commenting On Pro-Trump Posts Nicole Scherzinger's Epic Oliviers Speech Included Tears, A Trip-Up And An Impressive Squat

Hailey Bieber Confirms Her Favorite Animal Print for Summer
When spending the festive and ski seasons in Aspen, you can usually find Hailey Bieber ensconced in cozy coats, usually an animal print, by way of vintage Ralph Lauren or Saint Laurent. Now we've officially hit warmer weather and the knell for summer will soon toll on the fast approaching solstice, Bieber continues to hold onto her leopard print allegiance. Yesterday (June 10), Hailey Bieber made her first public appearance since closing her major deal on her beauty and skincare behemoth brand Rhode. The beauty mogul took to the stage of The Business of Beauty Global Forum to discuss her brand's acquisition for a cool billion. And of course, for the occasion, Bieber wore Saint Laurent—as a close friend of creative director Anthony Vaccarello, even recently presenting him for an award for his own achievements, and as an ambassador for the house. The recent Vogue cover star opted for a leopard print crepe mini-dress with an open back and ruched front, with black open-toed pumps. Bieber wore her hair in a middle part, curled delicately to the ends. Her nails were a soft, pale pink, and her makeup was minimal—maybe a hint of Rhode's pocket blush in Piggy. The mini-dress is a Bieber staple, usually paired with a sleek pump and a set of dark sunglasses. Saint Laurent is an obvious go-to, but Bieber and her stylist Dani Michelle have also surfaced some major mini archive finds, like a Tom Ford-era, icy blue number. It's long been the time of the LBD, the animal print trend is proving itself transeasonal—and the Little Leopard Dress is a statement maker like no other.

In Small-Town Germany, a Reporter Sees the Bigger Picture
Times Insider explains who we are and what we do and delivers behind-the-scenes insights into how our journalism comes together. As a reporter on the Obituaries desk at The New York Times, I write about the lives of famous — and not so famous — people who have left their mark on history. I also speak German, which is why I found myself spending the month of May in Berlin, filling in for a colleague. Before I left, I worked with a tutor to polish my conversational skills. I asked her if she had any fun ideas for articles I could pursue. 'Well, you know,' she said, 'the city of Bielefeld? Everyone says it doesn't exist.' About 300,000 people live in Bielefeld, but I'll admit that I was only vaguely aware it existed. To Germans, Bielefeld is the equivalent of, say, Scranton or Cedar Rapids — cities where the best you can say about them may be that you can't think of anything bad to say. For much the same reason that Scranton was the setting for 'The Office,' Bielefeld had become the butt of a joke. Like many jokes these days, it started online, though this one began back in 1993. It came in the form of a goofy conspiracy theory: that the existence of Bielefeld is a sham, and anyone who says otherwise is in on the plot. Over time, the town became a byword for boring. Songs were written about its utter blandness, including one performed by a talking slice of bread named Bernd — this is Germany, after all. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
