Looking for Friday's Wordle hints, clues and answer? You can find them here:
Hooray and huzzah! It's Saturday! The day of Saturn—the one day of the week that celebrates a Roman god instead of Norse/Germanic gods. The rain of early June has departed and now we're in the mid-80s, which is a lot hotter when you're at 7,500 feet above the sea. The sun is brutal. I have to remember to wear sunscreen or I crisp right up.
That won't be an issue while we solve today's Wordle, of course.
The Hint: Spooky.
The Clue: This Wordle has far more consonants than vowels.
Okay, spoilers below! The answer is coming!

Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here.
BLOAT was a great starting word, leaving me with just 18 remaining words and two green boxes. I couldn't think of a perfect word with all new letters, so I went with four new letters in an attempt to rule out the one remaining vowel I thought might be a problem. SHUNT shaved off every possible solution but one: GHOST for the win!

Sadly, the Bot and I tied today so we get 0 points for that. We each get 1 point for guessing in three. Our June totals inch up while the gap remains the same:
Erik: 11 points
Wordle Bot: 8 points
The word ghost comes from Old English gāst, meaning "spirit" or "soul." It is related to Old High German geist (spirit) and is likely from a Proto-Germanic root gaistaz. The deeper origin is uncertain, but it may be linked to the idea of breath or life force.

PlayStation Has Its Head In The Sand About Its Live Service Future
Marathon While fans wait for crumbs of new information about PlayStation games like Intergalactic or Wolverine, Sony is continuing to tout their current and future live service plans, saying that it is "very, very committed to building a diverse and a resilient live-service portfolio,' according to boss Herman Hulst. This is in the wake of promises that PlayStation has learned lessons from the failure of Concord: "We have reviewed our processes in light of this to deeply understand how and why that title failed to meet expectations and to ensure we're not going to make the same mistakes again,' Hulst said. Live Services But looking at Sony's plans in the plain light of day, and despite all this projected confidence, it very much feels like the company is burying its head in the sand when it comes to the reality of its situation. Of the games pictured on its live-service planning sheet, we can break most of them down in different ways: Helldivers 2 FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder Helldivers 2 – An unequivocal success story, one of the only ones Sony has had during this recent push, but something of a limited-time offer. Developer Arrowhead is not a Sony studio, and it has announced that because Helldivers 2 has done so well, that they are able to self-fund and publish their next game without Sony's help at all. While they say it's no shade to Sony, it reinforces that Arrowhead is not some sort of in-house live-service powerhouse they can rely on indefinitely, and they will be moving on. Destiny 2 Frontiers Destiny 2 – The decade-spanning series is something of a miracle in the land of live services, and you can say it actually helped launch the entire trend. But in year 11, things are scaling way down in the post-Light and Darkness era. The game has gone from record highs to record lows as it moves toward a new 'Frontiers' era, which will allow the game to subsist, but it is simply never going to reach previously high water marks from here. Sony will also not allow Bungie to put D2 to bed in order to take time to make a Destiny 3 that may never even get here as D2 shambles on past its expiration date. Marathon Marathon – Herman Hulst made headlines calling the game 'bold and innovative' and slides touting 'strong engagement' about the game, but it's just sandblasting away the enormous issues facing Marathon, a quadruple combo blow of 1) a poor gameplay showcase, 2) mixed-to-poor alpha feedback, 3) a headline-dominating art plagiarism scandal, 4) a post-alpha, post-plagiarism livestream that did little to reassure anyone on any front. Marathon is in deep trouble, and it will take something of a miracle for this game to land the way Sony wants it to as an industry hit. Fairgame$ Fairgames – The head of the studio, Jade Raymond, just left the project. Reports of internal tests say the game is bad. We have not seen or heard anything from it in almost two years. This is either going to be cancelled ahead of release or explode on the launchpad. If any game had a Concord-like future ahead of it, if it did actually come out, it's Fairgames. Those are the listed games. The other major, non-cancelled projects we know about are an upcoming Horizon Zero Dawn multiplayer monster-hunter, where we've seen almost nothing from it, and it will involve the always-risky idea of trying to convert fans of a single player series into something that's a dedicated multiplayer offering. Sony carved out a chunk of Bungie to make a new, in-house studio working on the game codenamed Gummy Bears, which does not have a name or any sort of preview footage, and while internal tests have been positive, it's hardly the first time we've heard that before. Perhaps the most promising item is what we have the least amount of information about, that Jason Blundell has his own studio inside Sony now and may make something cool akin to his Black Ops Zombies experience. But again, zero information here. Sony may be putting on a brave face, but things are going poorly. Its next two live games are probably not even a coinflip of whether they fail or not, and if there are any ones that work past that, they're still years away with literally nothing public shown about any of them. It's not good. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Bluesky and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.

When Is 'How To Train Your Dragon' Coming To Streaming?
How To Train Your Dragon Universal Pictures How to Train Your Dragon soared into theaters on Friday, June 13. The film is a live-action remake of the beloved 2010 animated film that kicked off the franchise. If you're waiting to watch it at home, here's what to know about when How to Train Your Dragon will likely start streaming. Dean DeBlois, who wrote and directed all three animated How to Train Your Dragon films, is once again behind the reins for the 2025 live-action remake. Also returning is Gerard Butler, who played Viking chief Stoick the Vast in each of the animated installments. The remake also stars Julian Dennison, Gabriel Howell, Bronwyn James, Harry Trevaldwyn, Ruth Codd, Peter Serafinowicz and Murray McArthur. 'On the rugged isle of Berk, a Viking boy named Hiccup defies centuries of tradition by befriending a dragon named Toothless. However, when an ancient threat emerges that endangers both species, Hiccup's friendship with Toothless becomes the key to forging a new future,' the official synopsis reads. 'Together, they must navigate the delicate path toward peace, soaring beyond the boundaries of their worlds and redefining what it means to be a hero and a leader.' In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Butler explained how his approach to his character differed this time around compared to the animated films. 'When I watch myself, there's moments where I go, 'That's very like how I did it before,' then there's moments where you just go completely different," he said. "What I did want to do was be fresh, coming in there and starting as a new story and suddenly I'm embodying that all day long — I didn't get to do that when I was just doing the voice. I wore my pajamas every day.' Ready to watch How to Train Your Dragon again or waiting for its streaming debut? Here's how long fans will likely have to wait to see the movie on Peacock and digital streaming. How To Train Your Dragon Courtesy of Universal Pictures How To Train Your Dragon premiered exclusively in theaters on Friday, June 13. Currently, the only way to watch How To Train Your Dragon is in movie theaters. Check your local cinemas for specific showtimes. How To Train Your Dragon Courtesy of Universal Pictures How to Train Your Dragon is distributed by Universal Pictures, so the film is set to land on Peacock in the future. Fans can expect the movie to arrive on the streaming platform about three to four months after its theatrical debut – likely in September or October 2025. In comparison, Wicked began streaming on Peacock on Friday, March 21, 2025, almost four months after its November 2024 debut. Twisters also had a lengthy theater-to-Peacock release timeline at nearly four months.

At Chicago baseball stadium, Pope Leo makes his first pitch to America
CHICAGO — Pope Leo XIV — known here as Bob Prevost from the South Side — will address a packed baseball stadium Saturday, greeting a U.S. audience directly for the first time and offering a glimpse of the potential impact of the first American papacy. More than 30,000 tickets were claimed for the event at Rate Field, the South Side home of the White Sox. The event, organized by the Chicago Archdiocese, is billed as a celebration of Leo and his hometown, and it will include a performance by a local Catholic school boys' choir currently on 'America's Got Talent.' Chicago Bulls announcer Chuck Swirsky will serve as emcee.
