Wordle hints today for #1,445: Clues and answer for Tuesday, June 3
Hey, there! We hope your week's off to a great start. If you're looking for some help with today's Wordle, you've come to the right place. Here's our daily Wordle guide with some hints and the answer for Tuesday's puzzle (#1,445).
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. 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.

This should go without saying, but make sure to scroll slowly. Spoilers are ahead.

Strands NYT Looking for Wednesday's Strands hints, spangram and answers? You can find them here: The New York Times' Strands puzzle is a play on the classic word search. It's in beta for now, which means it'll only stick around if enough people play it every day. There's a new game of Strands to play every day. The game will present you with a six by eight grid of letters. The aim is to find a group of words that have something in common, and you'll get a clue as to what that theme is. When you find a theme word, it will remain highlighted in blue. You'll also need to find a special word called a spangram. This tells you what the words have in common. The spangram links two opposite sides of the board. While the theme words will not be a proper name, the spangram can be a proper name. When you find the spangram, it will remain highlighted in yellow. Be warned: You'll need to be on your toes. 'Some themes are fill-in-the-blank phrases. They may also be steps in a process, items that all belong to the same category, synonyms or homophones,' The New York Times notes. 'Just as she varies the difficulty of Wordle puzzles within a week, [Wordle and Strands editor Tracy] Bennett plans to throw Strands solvers curveballs every once in a while.' Time to do the NYT hint and then my own hint after that: Mary, Mary, quite… And mine is: Rhyme words Now we begin the answer portion of the program which is the spangram and the full list of the other answers, the spangram is: GARDEN Here it is on the page, and read on: Strands NYT And the answers are: Strands NYT Well, I hope you're up on your nursery rhymes that first originated in the year 1744, because that's what we're doing today.

Harvey Weinstein's Team Wants the Jury to Believe He's a Scapegoat of #MeToo
Closing arguments in Harvey Weinstein's rape trial concluded Wednesday with the defense team claiming the former mogul is being scapegoated as the face of the #MeToo movement. 'If this guy wasn't Harvey Weinstein, would we even be here?' Weinstein attorney Arthur Aidala asked the jury. More from The Hollywood Reporter Harvey Weinstein Will Not Testify In New York Retrial Harvey Weinstein "Seriously Contemplating" Testifying in Trial on Rape and Sexual Charges Harvey Weinstein Survivors Speak Out to Support Three Women Testifying Against Him In New Trial 'It's not because the defendant is Harvey Weinstein, it's because he raped three people,' Assistant District Attorney Nicole Blumberg said at the start of her summations. Weinstein is being retried on a criminal sexual charge and a rape charge related to respective claims from a former production assistant on Project Runway, Miriam Haley, who alleges he forced oral sex on her at his Manhattan apartment in 2006, as well as from aspiring actress Jessica Mann, who alleges she was raped by Weinstein in 2013 in a Manhattan hotel. Those charges were part of the 2020 trial, but Weinstein's conviction was overturned in April 2024. Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg said he would retry the former mogul shortly thereafter. Former model Kaja Sokola is the new accuser to this trial and has alleged Weinstein forcibly had oral sex with her in a hotel in 2006, resulting in another criminal sexual charge. The #MeToo movement has been in the background of this trial, in part, because witnesses referenced the 2017 New York Times article as the reason they came forward. But this trial has also had less fanfare and fewer protests than in 2020 and comes as some attitudes around #MeToo have been shifting. A number of women who say they had also been sexually assaulted by Weinstein put forward statements in support of the three witnesses in this trial, but added that there's now more 'cynicism' about the movement and that 'MeToo has fallen under the 'anti-woke' hammer.' Judge Curtis Farber is set to give charging instructions to the 12-person jury Thursday morning, after which time they'll begin deliberations. This comes after about six weeks of testimony and more than 20 witnesses from the prosecution as well as a few from the defense team. If he is found guilty on any of the charges, Weinstein will likely spend the rest of his life in prison. But even if he is not found guilty, Weinstein would remain in person for his 2022 conviction in California. His legal team has appealed that conviction. In his closing arguments, Aidala continued to position the encounters between Weinstein and the women as part of consensual and transactional relationships that would help them jumpstart their careers without them having to undergo formal education. 'They don't want to do the schooling, they want to cut the line,' Aidala said. 'They want to take the shortcut. And they think Harvey Weinstein's the shortcut.' Haley testified that Weinstein had helped her get the job on Project Runway, and that she had continued to pitch him about a television project after the alleged incident. Weinstein had helped Sokola work as an extra on the Nanny Diaries (though her scene was cut from the film) and he got Mann an audition for Vampire Academy (though the casting director testified that she was too old for the part). None of these projects got off the ground or turned into careers, and Aidala posited that if they had, the woman would not have taken part in the criminal trial. The alleged incident with Sokola happened after Weinstein said he had a script for Sokola to read in his hotel room, and after Haley accepted an invitation from Weinstein to attend the Clerks 2 premiere in Los Angeles and met him at his apartment before leaving. Mann, who testified she entered into a consensual relationship with Weinstein at one point, but did not consent to the sexual encounter in the Manhattan hotel, initially saw meeting with Weinstein as furthering her career. 'He never had any interest in their careers. He had interest in their bodies,' Blumberg said. Aidala also pointed to the fact that the three women had previously participated in a settlement fund for sexual assault claimants established after Weinstein's company went bankrupt, and received close to $500,000 each. 'They couldn't get what they wanted when Harvey was on top, so they figured out a way to get what they wanted when he was on the bottom,' Aidala said. In his closing argument, and throughout the trial, Aidala and the defense team have sought to undermine the credibility of the three women's testimony by pointing out what they say are discrepancies in their stories. Additionally, the three women remained in contact with Weinstein to some degree after the alleged incident, with some reaching out on business inquiries in warm messages, and with Mann continuing to meet with Weinstein, per emails Aidala showed to the jury again Tuesday. Blumberg has countered that the women 'knew it was necessary to stay on his good side.' She also pointed to Weinstein's power within the industry, showing photos of the former mogul with the Clintons and Michael Bloomberg, as reasons for why the women had stayed in contact and not immediately reported the alleged crimes. 'It's not the person who's sitting here in court today, in a wheelchair, it's that man who had influence over all of Hollywood,' Blumberg said, in one of the first direct references to Weinstein's health during trial. One of the large issues hanging over the retrial has been the Molineux rule, which led to the overturning of Weinsteins' conviction when the court of appeals ruled that the trial judge improperly allowed testimony from other women about uncharged allegations against Weinstein. In this trial, no women other than the complaining witnesses testified about sexual assault from Weinstien, but the three women did mention other sexual encounters with Weinstein that were not charged in the case and that they said were unwanted. This included Sokola, who testified that Weinstein had touched her vagina and put her hand on his penis to masturbate when she was 16. 'It explains the nature of the relationship. It explains the power dynamic that was going on,' Blumberg said about the other encounters. In addition to heated back and forths between the two sides, Aidala exhibited a large amount of showmanship during his closing arguments, which included references to his own sex life, imitations of the witnesses and a metaphor involving his grandmother's red sauce. Blumberg, in turn, began by saying 'I'd like to stay away from all the jokes, and bring you back to reality.' A large photo of a younger Weinstein and his then-partner Georgina Chapman was placed in front of the witness box, facing the jury, with Aidala repeating his statements from opening arguments in which he admitted that Weinstein had repeatedly cheated on his wife, but then said: 'There's a lot of real estate between immorality and criminality.' Before Blumberg's summations continued Wednesday, Aidala had moved for another mistrial, which he has been calling for several times across the past several weeks. 'This is number 11,' Farber told Aidala, denying the request, before he then denied Aidala's 12th, 13th and 14th mistrial motions related to the DA's closing argument.

Groundbreaking gay author Edmund White dies at 85
NEW YORK — Edmund White, the groundbreaking man of letters who documented and imagined the gay revolution through journalism, essays, plays and such novels as 'A Boy's Own Story' and 'The Beautiful Room is Empty,' has died. He was 85. White's death was confirmed Wednesday by his agent, Bill Clegg, who did not immediately provide additional details. Along with Larry Kramer, Armistead Maupin and others, White was among a generation of gay writers who in the 1970s became bards for a community no longer afraid to declare its existence. He was present at the Stonewall raids of 1969, when arrests at a club in Greenwich Village led to the birth of the modern gay movement, and for decades was a participant and observer through the tragedy of AIDS, the advance of gay rights and culture and the backlash of recent years. A resident of New York and Paris for much of his adult life, he was a novelist, journalist, biographer, playwright, activist, teacher and memoirist. 'A Boy's Own Story' was a bestseller and classic coming-of-age novel that demonstrated gay literature's commercial appeal. He wrote a prizewinning biography of playwright Jean Genet and books on Marcel Proust and Arthur Rimbaud. He was a professor of creative writing at Princeton University, where colleagues included Toni Morrison and his close friend, Joyce Carol Oates. He was an encyclopedic reader who absorbed literature worldwide while returning yearly to such favorites as Tolstoy's 'Anna Karenina' and Henry Green's 'Nothing.' 'Among gay writers of his generation, Edmund White has emerged as the most versatile man of letters,' cultural critic Morris Dickstein wrote in The New York Times in 1995. 'A cosmopolitan writer with a deep sense of tradition, he has bridged the gap between gay subcultures and a broader literary audience.' In early 1982, just as the public was learning about AIDS, White was among the founders of Gay Men's Health Crisis, which advocated AIDS prevention and education. The author himself would learn that he was HIV-positive in 1985, and would remember friends afraid to be kissed by him, even on the cheek, and parents who didn't want him to touch their babies. White survived, but watched countless peers and loved ones suffer agonizing deaths. Out of the seven gay men, including White, who formed the influential writing group the Violet Quill, four died of complications from AIDS. As White wrote in his elegiac novel 'The Farewell Symphony,' the story followed a shocking arc: 'Oppressed in the fifties, freed in the sixties, exalted in the seventies and wiped out in the eighties.' But in the 1990s and after he lived to see gay people granted the right to marry and serve in the military, to see gay-themed books taught in schools and to see gay writers so widely published that they no longer needed to write about gay lives. 'We're in this post-gay period where you can announce to everybody that you yourself are gay, and you can write books in which there are gay characters, but you don't need to write exclusively about that,' he said in a Salon interview in 2009. 'Your characters don't need to inhabit a ghetto any more than you do. A straight writer can write a gay novel and not worry about it, and a gay novelist can write about straight people.' In 2019, White received a National Book Award medal for lifetime achievement, an honor previously given to Morrison and Philip Roth among others. 'To go from the most maligned to a highly lauded writer in a half-century is astonishing,' White said during his acceptance speech. White was born in Cincinnati in 1940, but age at 7 moved with his mother to the Chicago area after his parents divorced. His father was a civil engineer 'who reigned in silence over dinner as he studied his paper.' His mother a psychologist 'given to rages or fits of weeping.' Trapped in 'the closed, sniveling, resentful world of childhood,' at times suicidal, White was at the same time a 'fierce little autodidact' who sought escape through the stories of others, whether Thomas Mann's 'Death in Venice' or a biography of the dancer Vaslav Nijinsky. 'As a young teenager I looked desperately for things to read that might excite me or assure me I wasn't the only one, that might confirm my identity I was unhappily piecing together,' he wrote in the essay 'Out of the Closet, On to the Bookshelf,' published in 1991. As he wrote in 'A Boy's Own Story,' he knew as a child that he was attracted to boys, but for years was convinced he must change — out of a desire to please his father (whom he otherwise despised) and a wish to be 'normal.' Even as he secretly wrote a 'coming out' novel while a teenager, he insisted on seeing a therapist and begged to be sent to boarding school. One of the funniest and saddest episodes from 'A Boy's Own Story' told of a brief crush he had on a teenage girl, ended by a polite and devastating note of rejection. 'For the next few months I grieved,' White writes. 'I would stay up all night crying and playing records and writing sonnets to Helen. What was I crying for?' He had a whirling, airborne imagination and New York and Paris had been in his dreams well before he lived in either place. After graduating from the University of Michigan, where he majored in Chinese, he moved to New York in the early 1960s and worked for years as a writer for Time-Life Books and an editor for The Saturday Review. He would interview Tennessee Williams and Truman Capote among others, and, for some assignments, was joined by photographer Robert Mapplethorpe. Socially, he met Burroughs, Jasper Johns, Christopher Isherwood and John Ashbery. He remembered drinking espresso with an ambitious singer named Naomi Cohen, whom the world would soon know as 'Mama Cass' of the Mamas and Papas. He feuded with Kramer, Gore Vidal and Susan Sontag, an early supporter who withdrew a blurb for 'A Boy's Own Story' after he caricatured her in the novel 'Caracole.' 'In all my years of therapy I never got to the bottom of my impulse toward treachery, especially toward people who'd helped me and befriended me,' he later wrote. Through much of the 1960s, he was writing novels that were rejected or never finished. Late at night, he would 'dress as a hippie, and head out for the bars.' A favorite stop was the Stonewall, where he would down vodka tonics and try to find the nerve to ask a man he had crush on to dance. He was in the neighborhood on the night of June 28, 1969, when police raided the Stonewall and 'all hell broke loose.' 'Up until that moment we had all thought homosexuality was a medical term,' wrote White, who soon joined the protests. 'Suddenly we saw that we could be a minority group — with rights, a culture, an agenda.' Before the 1970s, few novels about openly gay characters existed beyond Vidal's 'The City and the Pillar' and James Baldwin's 'Giovanni's Room.' Classics such as William Burroughs' 'Naked Lunch' had 'rendered gay life as exotic, marginal, even monstrous,' according to White. But the world was changing, and publishing was catching up, releasing fiction by White, Kramer, Andrew Holleran and others. White's debut novel, the surreal and suggestive 'Forgetting Elena,' was published in 1973. He collaborated with Charles Silverstein on 'The Joy of Gay Sex,' a follow-up to the bestselling 'The Joy of Sex' that was updated after the emergence of AIDS. In 1978, his first openly gay novel, 'Nocturnes for the King of Naples,' was released and he followed with the nonfiction 'States of Desire,' his attempt to show 'the varieties of gay experience and also to suggest the enormous range of gay life to straight and gay people — to show that gays aren't just hairdressers, they're also petroleum engineers and ranchers and short-order cooks.' With 'A Boy's Own Story,' published in 1982, he began an autobiographical trilogy that continued with 'The Beautiful Room is Empty' and 'The Farewell Symphony,' some of the most sexually direct and explicit fiction to land on literary shelves. Heterosexuals, he wrote in 'The Farewell Symphony,' could 'afford elusiveness.' But gays, 'easily spooked,' could not 'risk feigning rejection.' His other works included 'Skinned Alive: Stories' and the novel 'A Previous Life,' in which he turns himself into a fictional character and imagines himself long forgotten after his death. In 2009, he published 'City Boy,' a memoir of New York in the 1960s and '70s in which he told of his friendships and rivalries and gave the real names of fictional characters from his earlier novels. Other recent books included the novels 'Jack Holmes & His Friend' and 'Our Young Man' and the memoir 'Inside a Pearl: My Years in Paris.' 'From an early age I had the idea that writing was truth-telling,' he told The Guardian around the time 'Jack Holmes' was released. 'It's on the record. Everybody can see it. Maybe it goes back to the sacred origins of literature — the holy book. There's nothing holy about it for me, but it should be serious and it should be totally transparent.'
