Wordle hints today for #1,446: Clues and answer for Wednesday, June 4
Hey, there! We've reached the midpoint of this week and, for many of us, Nintendo Switch 2 fever is in full force ahead of the console's arrival tomorrow. But for those who don't have a pre-order locked in and don't feel like braving the crowds at retailers on Thursday, there are plenty of other games to play, such as Wordle! In case you need a little assistance with today's game, here's our daily Wordle guide with some hints and the answer for Wednesday's puzzle (#1,446).
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.

Palantir CEO Warns of AI Arms Race With China
Palantir (PLTR, Financials) CEO Alex Karp said Thursday that artificial intelligence poses serious risks and that the ongoing AI arms race will ultimately be won by either the United States or China. There are positive and negative consequences, and either we win or China will win, Karp told CNBC's Squawk on the Street. He emphasized that the U.S. currently holds an advantage due to corporate willingness to embrace new technologies, but said Western allies, particularly in Europe, are lagging behind and must learn from the U.S. approach. In the interview, Karp also addressed a recent New York Times report suggesting Palantir is assisting the Trump administration in gathering data on American citizens. He denied the claim, stating, We are not surveilling Americans. The Denver-based data analytics and AI software firm has gained 74% year to date as investors bet on the company's growing role in U.S. government contracts and defense applications. While the stock continues to outperform broader tech peers, Karp acknowledged investor concerns around its valuation. You don't like the price, exit, he said.

OpenAI Appeals ‘Sweeping, Unprecedented Order' Requiring It Maintain All ChatGPT Logs
Last month, a federal judge ordered OpenAI to indefinitely maintain all of ChatGPT's data as part of an ongoing copyright lawsuit. In response, OpenAI has filed an appeal to overturn the decision stating that the 'sweeping, unprecedented order' violates its users' privacy. The New York Times sued both OpenAI and Microsoft in 2023 claiming that the companies violated copyrights by using its articles to train their language models. However, OpenAI said the Times' case is 'without merit' and argued that the training falls under 'fair use'. Previously, OpenAI only kept chat logs for users of ChatGPT Free, Plus, and Pro who didn't opt out. However, in May, the Times and other news organizations claimed that OpenAI was engaging in a 'substantial, ongoing' destruction of chat logs that could contain evidence of copyright violations. Judge Ona Wang responded by ordering ChatGPT to maintain and segregate all ChatGPT logs that would otherwise be deleted. In a court appeal, OpenAI argued that Wang's order 'prevent[s] OpenAI from respecting its users' privacy decisions.' According to Ars Technica, the company also claimed that the Times' accusations were 'unfounded', writing, 'OpenAI did not 'destroy' any data, and certainly did not delete any data in response to litigation events. The order appears to have incorrectly assumed the contrary.' 'The [Times] and other plaintiffs have made a sweeping and unnecessary demand in their baseless lawsuit against us,' COO Brad Lightcap said in a statement. He added that the demand for OpenAI to retain all data 'abandons long-standing privacy norms and weakens privacy protections.' On X, CEO Sam Altman wrote that the 'inappropriate request…sets a bad precedent.' He also added that the case highlights the need for 'AI privilege' where 'talking to an AI should be like talking to a lawyer or a doctor.' we have been thinking recently about the need for something like "AI privilege"; this really accelerates the need to have the conversation. imo talking to an AI should be like talking to a lawyer or a doctor. i hope society will figure this out soon. — Sam Altman (@sama) June 6, 2025 The court order triggered an initial wave of panic. Per Ars Technica, OpenAI's court filing cited social media posts from LinkedIn and X where users expressed concerns about their privacy. On LinkedIn, one person warned their clients to be 'extra careful' about what information they shared with ChatGPT. In another example, someone tweeted, 'Wang apparently thinks the NY Times' boomer copyright concerns trump the privacy of EVERY @OPENAI USER – insane!!!' On one hand, I couldn't imagine having a ChatGPT log sensitive enough data that I'd care if someone else read it. However, people do use ChatGPT as a therapist, for life advice, and even treat it as a romantic partner. Regardless of whether I'd personally do the same, they deserve the right to keep that content private. At the same time, the Times' case isn't as baseless as OpenAI claims. It is absolutely worth discussing how artificial intelligence is trained. Remember when Clearview AI scraped 30 billion images from Facebook to train its facial recognition? Or reports that the federal government uses images of vulnerable people to test facial recognition software? Yes, those examples exist outside of journalism and copyright law. However, it highlights the need for conversations about whether companies like OpenAI should need explicit consent to utilize content rather than scraping whatever they want from the internet.

Breath of the Wild's Switch 2 enhancements have me exploring Hyrule all over again
Last night, I stayed up way too late playing through the Great Plateau section of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, and I'm falling in love with the game all over again. The opening moments of Breath of the Wild are iconic. The wide shot of Hyrule you see after leaving that first cave is breathtaking, showing you the world of possibilities ahead. Solving the puzzles on the Great Plateau requires some real creativity and experimentation, especially to survive the colder parts of the area. All of that magic is still there with the Switch 2 version of the game, which you can get as a $9.99 upgrade if you already own the Switch version or as a standalone $69.99 purchase, but it all plays better. As far as I could tell, the frame rate stayed at a steady 60fps no matter where I went in my initial explorations, which makes the game feel much smoother and more responsive. That was nice for my skirmishes with the Great Plateau's Bokoblins; they're basic enemies, but I liked sparring with them at the faster frame rate all the same. The game also has a higher resolution on Switch 2, and while the graphics aren't improved too dramatically from the original game, I thought the Switch 2 version looked great on my 4K TV. (I did notice things like grass or rocks popping in as I got close to them, though.) Best of all, the load times are much faster, which could be the improvement that really makes the Switch 2 version worth it. On the original Switch, the load times weren't too bad, but they would regularly force you to pause as you waited for the next area to load. On the Switch 2, it felt like I was loading into shrines or a fast-travel point with only a brief delay, and over the course of an entire playthrough, those shorter loads will add up. In my initial testing, the Zelda Notes companion app's navigation tool (found within the Nintendo Switch app) also seems like it could be a big time-saver. The feature functions like a GPS for all sorts of things you can discover, including shrines, towers, enemies, and even Korok seeds. I opened it up, picked a Korok seed that was apparently near me, and the app guided me toward it by showing my position on the map in the app and telling me what direction to go. It even nudged me to climb upward, which was helpful because I happened to pick the Korok that's found on the highest spire of the Temple of Time. The navigation feature arguably takes away from the self-guided exploration that makes Breath of the Wild so special. Since it's an optional feature, though, I don't think it takes away from the experience too much — especially since it requires booting up an entirely separate app on a separate device, so you have to do some work to get it up and running. If you're playing through the game on the Switch 2 for the first time, I'd recommend that you don't use it. But if you want to find every single Korok seed, it could be a lifesaver. What surprised me most with my first couple hours with the Switch 2 version of Breath of the Wild was that I was getting into its captivating loop all over again. Even though I've played through the game multiple times on the original Switch, I still found myself darting around the Great Plateau to take on random camps of baddies, diving into a pond to get a Korok that I knew was hidden there, and marking shrines and towers on my map. On the Switch 2, it's all much more refined, making it an excellent way to play one of Nintendo's best games.
