Sunday is here, and while it's very lovely out and I encourage everyone to break up their laziness with some outdoor fun, it's also a great day to kick back with a good TV show or movie.
I have a most excellent recommendation this weekend: Ludwig, a new mystery series from the BBC now out on BritBox. It's about a master puzzle-setter who finds himself caught up in a mystery, impersonating a police detective and solving murders the way he'd normally solve complex puzzles. Kind of perfect for Wordle solvers! You can read my review here, and check out my weekend streaming guide here.
Now let's solve this Wordle!
The Hint: One of the seven dwarfs.
The Clue: This Wordle begins with a consonant.
Okay, spoilers below!

My hint today is fitting. It's the reason I guessed the Wordle on my third guess. I'd just recently written a post about the new Snow White film and as I was coming up with possible guesses for my third guess, I came up with DOPEY. With princesses and dwarfs on my mind, this seemed like a fitting guess. I was lucky when it ended up being the Wordle! Very lucky, since SKATE left me with 399 words and LINER only cut that to 49. Hi-ho, hi-ho!

The word "dopey" comes from the slang term "dope," which originally referred to a thick sauce or gravy in Dutch (doop) but later evolved in American English to mean a drug (especially opium or narcotics). By the late 1800s, "dope" was used to describe someone under the influence of drugs, and "dopey" came to mean dazed, sluggish, or slow-witted, like someone affected by drugs. Over time, it also took on a more playful or mild sense, meaning foolish or silly.

Stores open at midnight as fans rush to buy Nintendo Switch 2
The Nintendo Switch 2 has been released worldwide, with stores opening at midnight so fans could get their hands on the long-awaited console the moment it became available. Some shops have the devices available to buy off the shelf - but in most cases customers have been picking up consoles they had ordered in advance, with UK retailer Currys calling it its "biggest gaming pre-order ever." Despite the excitement there have been some setbacks, with one supplier, Game, cancelling some pre-orders. In the US, Nintendo briefly pulled Switch 2 pre-orders in April over concerns around tariffs before starting again a few weeks later. There are also questions over whether the Switch 2 will match the success of its predecessor - the third-best selling console in history - because of its high game prices. A physical copy of its most high-profile game, Mario Kart World, comes in at £74.99 - £15 more expensive than a typical Switch title. The early signs though are that there is considerable customer interest. Currys told the BBC it had sold 30,000 units - which it attributed to the "incredible excitement" associated with the launch. The original Nintendo Switch has shifted more than 150 million units since its 2017 release. A successor has been in the works for years - so perhaps unsurprisingly Tushar Sandarka, the President of the University of York's Mario Kart society, is among those excited about the launch, and the new version of Mario coming with it. "It's coming out with Mario Kart World - which is the first since 2014 - it's a big deal for us," the 19-year-old said. "Securing a pre-order was such a tough decision because it's so expensive. "Even if it's a bit higher than I would have wanted to pay for it, it's going to serve me well for the next 7 or 8 years." But not everyone the BBC spoke to said they would be picking up the console on launch. Mae and Lottie, both students in York, said they would stick to the original Switch because of the cost. "It's quite spenny," Mae said. "What we've got is fine." Lottie agreed, but said she was disappointed not to play on the new Mario Kart game - which she said could cost her as much as "a day's pay". "I'm not spending that on a game," she said. For Nintendo, the Switch 2 represents a change in strategy - in the past its new devices have been given an entirely new name. "This is the first time Nintendo has ever launched a straight sequel," GamesRadar+ brand director Sam Loveridge told the BBC. "It's a clear proposition for consumers - they know exactly what they're getting from this console if they are familiar with the original Switch." She said "everything is pointing to" pre-orders having sold well. "When pre-orders first went live, it was an absolute scramble to find any stock, but Nintendo was clearly prepared and since those early weeks, it's been a lot easier to secure yourself a console for launch day," she said. I was one of the lucky few to get my hands on the Switch 2 at an event in April. Like its predecessor, it is a "hybrid" console - a handheld device which can also be plugged into a TV to play on the big screen. But it has a bigger and brighter screen, along with lots more power and storage. It still has a bit of innovation - you can use the controller like a computer mouse by twisting it on its side, making PC games such as Civilization VII a more enjoyable experience than using joysticks. But many of the showcase Nintendo games on display at that event - including Metroid Prime 4, Donkey Kong: Bananza, and Super Mario Party Jamboree TV - won't be available at launch. I played the £75 Mario Kart World on Switch 2 - was it worth it? Instead the only new Nintendo game on the new console will be Mario Kart World, barring a small title called Welcome Tour which showcases some of the new hardware. "It might seem like an odd bet, but with the original Mario Kart 8 being the best-selling Wii U game and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe being the best-selling Nintendo Switch game, there's a very established audience there," Ms Loveridge said. The gaming giant is also releasing on day one upgraded versions of the Switch's Legend of Zelda games, Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, which take advantage of the console's greater power. Beyond that, gamers will have to look to third-party games for alternatives on launch. The range of games includes Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, Cyberpunk 2077, and Bravely Default. "This more powerful console offers plenty of opportunities for third-party games publishers bringing Nintendo into more direct competition with Sony and Microsoft," said Katie Holt, senior games industry research analyst at Ampere Analysis . And fans can expect more from third-party games as the console develops too - with Nintendo senior director Takuhiro Dohta telling me he expected games to get even better. "When there are software titles set for the launch of the hardware, the developers still don't fully know the capabilities and hardware well enough," he said. "As developers continue to develop, they start to understand how it works and what it's capable of, so I think we can expect improvements not only in graphics but in gameplay too."

BBC confirms date for this year's ‘Trooping the Colour: The King's Birthday Parade'
The BBC has confirmed the date for this year's 'Trooping the Colour: The King's Birthday Parade'. With the monarch due to hit 77 later this year, the show will be broadcast on Saturday 14 June 2025, with highlights airing on BBC Two at 7pm and full coverage following later that evening on BBC One at 10.30pm. More than 1,350 soldiers will take part in the ceremonial event, including more than 300 musicians from the Massed Bands and 250 soldiers from the Foot Guards, who will line the processional route along The Mall. This will mark Charles' third Trooping the Colour since his accession to the throne in 2022. The parade has long commemorated the sovereign's official birthday – regardless of the monarch's actual date of birth – and has been a tradition since the 18th century. King Charles was born on 14 November. The BBC is set to dedicate significant airtime to the royal event. Following highlights on BBC Two, 'Trooping the Colour: The King's Birthday Parade' will be shown in full on BBC One, offering audiences across the UK the opportunity to witness one of the year's major state occasions. The parade is expected to draw crowds to central London and will feature a full military display, processions and a flypast. It comes as Charles mourns the death of Major General Sir Christopher Airy, the former private secretary to him and his late wife Diana, Princess of Wales. He passed away aged 91 on 7 April, just three months after the death of his spouse and leaves behind two daughters and a son. Christopher Airy took on the role of Private Secretary and Treasurer to Charles in 1990, when the King was still Prince of Wales. His appointment came after a distinguished 35-year military career, during which he rose to the rank of Major General and commanded the Household Division. He was well known to both Queen Elizabeth II and Charles. Although it is understood he had a cordial relationship with Diana, his tenure in the royal household lasted less than 12 months. According to The Times, he found the wide-ranging structure of Charles's operations challenging. The paper reported: 'He found it difficult to draw lines between the various charities and advisory groups.' He resigned from the role voluntarily and was formally received by Queen Elizabeth II on his departure.
