Today's Wordle Hints (and Answer) for Saturday, June 7, 2025
If you're looking for the Wordle answer for June 7, 2025, read on. We'll share some clues, tips, and strategies, and finally the solution. Today's puzzle is easier; I got it in two. Beware, there are spoilers below for June 7, Wordle #1,449! Keep scrolling if you want some hints (and then the answer) to today's Wordle game. How to play Wordle Wordle lives here on the New York Times website. A new puzzle goes live every day at midnight, your local time. Start by guessing a five-letter word. The letters of the word will turn green if they're correct, yellow if you have the right letter in the wrong place, or gray if the letter isn't in the day's secret word at all. For more, check out our guide to playing Wordle here, and my strategy guide here for more advanced tips. (We also have more information at the bottom of this post, after the hints and answers.) Ready for the hints? Let's go! Does today's Wordle have any unusual letters? We'll define common letters as those that appear in the old typesetters' phrase ETAOIN SHRDLU. (Memorize this! Pronounce it 'Edwin Shirdloo,' like a name, and pretend he's a friend of yours.) They're all common letters from our mnemonic today. Can you give me a hint for today's Wordle? Reduce, recycle. Does today's Wordle have any double or repeated letters? There is one repeated letter today. How many vowels are in today's Wordle? There are two vowels, one used twice. What letter does today's Wordle start with? Today's word starts with R. What letter does today's Wordle end with? Today's word ends with E. What is the solution to today's Wordle? Ready? Today's word is REUSE. How I solved today's Wordle I started with RAISE. REUSE was the most common word remaining. Yesterday's Wordle answer Yesterday's Wordle was easier. The hint was "teach, formally' and the answer contained three common letters, one somewhat common letter, and one uncommon letter. The answer to yesterday's Wordle was EDIFY. A primer on Wordle basics The idea of Wordle is to guess the day's secret word. When you first open the Wordle game, you'll see an empty grid of letters. It's up to you to make the first move: type in any five-letter word. Now, you can use the colors that are revealed to get clues about the word: Green means you correctly guessed a letter, and it's in the correct position. (For example, if you guess PARTY, and the word is actually PURSE, the P and R will be green.) Yellow means the letter is somewhere in the word, but not in the position you guessed it. (For example, if you guessed PARTY, but the word is actually ROAST, the R, A and T will all be yellow.) Gray means the letter is not in the solution word at all. (If you guessed PARTY and everything is gray, then the solution cannot be PURSE or ROAST.) With all that in mind, guess another word, and then another, trying to land on the correct word before you run out of chances. You get six guesses, and then it's game over. The best starter words for Wordle What should you play for that first guess? The best starters tend to contain common letters, to increase the chances of getting yellow and green squares to guide your guessing. (And if you get all grays when guessing common letters, that's still excellent information to help you rule out possibilities.) There isn't a single 'best' starting word, but the New York Times's Wordle analysis bot has suggested starting with one of these: CRANE TRACE SLANT CRATE CARTE Meanwhile, an MIT analysis found that you'll eliminate the most possibilities in the first round by starting with one of these: SALET REAST TRACE CRATE SLATE Other good picks might be ARISE or ROUND. Words like ADIEU and AUDIO get more vowels in play, but you could argue that it's better to start with an emphasis on consonants, using a starter like RENTS or CLAMP. Choose your strategy, and see how it plays out. How to win at Wordle We have a few guides to Wordle strategy, which you might like to read over if you're a serious student of the game. This one covers how to use consonants to your advantage, while this one focuses on a strategy that uses the most common letters. In this advanced guide, we detail a three-pronged approach for fishing for hints while maximizing your chances of winning quickly. The biggest thing that separates Wordle winners from Wordle losers is that winners use their guesses to gather information about what letters are in the word. If you know that the word must end in -OUND, don't waste four guesses on MOUND, ROUND, SOUND, and HOUND; combine those consonants and guess MARSH. If the H lights up in yellow, you know the solution. One more note on strategy: the original Wordle used a list of about 2,300 solution words, but after the game was bought by the NYT, the game now has an editor who hand-picks the solutions. Sometimes they are slightly tricky words that wouldn't have made the original list, and sometimes they are topical. For example, FEAST was the solution one Thanksgiving. So keep in mind that there may be a theme. Wordle alternatives If you can't get enough of five-letter guessing games and their kin, the best Wordle alternatives, ranked by difficulty, include: Wheeldle, which lets you play one puzzle after another Dordle and Quordle, which ask you to play two (Dordle) or four (Quordle) puzzles at the same time, with the same guesses. There is also Octordle, with eight puzzles, and Sedecordle, with 16. Waffle, which shows you several five-letter words, scrambled in a grid; you play by swapping the letters around until you solve. Absurdle, which changes the solution after each guess, but needs to stay consistent with its previous feedback. You have to strategically back it into a corner until there is only one possible word left; then you guess it, and win. Squabble, in which you play Wordle against other people with a timer running. You take damage if you spend too much time between guesses; winner is the last one standing. Antiwordle, in which you are trying not to guess the day's solution. You're required to reuse any letters that you (oops) guessed correctly, so the longer it takes you, the better you are at the game.

‘Mario Kart World' Review: Amazing, Enormous And Overwhelming
'Mario Kart World' is a huge game. It's no secret that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was a massive seller on the original Switch, but Mario Kart World could be on a whole other level. To get the numbers out of the way, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the Switch has sold 68.2 million units, which is more than double what Zelda: Breath of the Wild managed, and we all know how that game helped launch the first Switch. So, on paper at least, Mario Kart World seems like a corporate no-brainer: make the game massive and open-world, and wait for the tidal wave of endless sales. Thankfully, Mario Kart World isn't as brain-dead and overly corporate as the above sounds. A lot of very careful and creative work has gone into this enormous game, and it certainly does show. You have an enormous roster of playable characters and vehicles. If you're coming off the back of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and need your regular Mario Kart fix, Mario Kart World has got you covered. The standard Grand Prix mode is present and correct. You have four tracks per cup with varying speed difficulties. Some of the tracks are more point-to-point affairs, as they are using parts of the open world, but it's all clearly messaged, and you can plough through the various cups just fine. 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 One point to mention here is the final Rainbow Road circuit. While most of Mario Kart World looks nice enough, the new Rainbow Road is genuinely astonishing to behold (shown below). The core gameplay has also been reworked and has had its functionality expanded. The number of new 'tricks' you can do along with the traditional boost slide is quite numerous. It almost feels like a skateboarding game at times, as you chain tricks together to get multiple boosts. There are a lot of new "tricks" added to 'Mario Kart World'. The other follow-up from the open world is that, in addition to the Grand Prix mode, you also have a new Knockout Tour mode. This is more akin to a marathon, with multiple tracks and areas stitched together over a really long Outrun-esque race (albeit minus the branching). This new Knockout Mode really helps you to grasp the size of this game, and that brings me to Free Roam. Free Roam is the big new thing for Mario Kart World. You can explore an enormous continent, finding secrets and missions all over the place. It does feel a bit odd initially, as Mario Kart has prided itself on really well-honed and focused track design, but this new open world setup does work. However, I really feel that the open world aspect of Mario Kart World is enhanced by playing with friends. Nintendo has combined the party game element of other games they make with an exploratory driving experience, and it's really quite unlike anything else. This brings me to the credits and the game's increased price tag. 'Mario Kart World' can feel like a skateboarding game at times, what with all the new tricks. Having played Mario Kart World a fair bit and watched the nearly endless credits, it's obvious that this is a massive game, both in terms of content and the backend development that made it possible. With all that in mind, I feel the price tag is justified in this instance, as this will be a console-defining game for years to come for the Switch 2. I've also covered in previous articles that this price increase in games is actually coming from publishers trying to make their money back after all the major AAA games they released tanked, which is also the cause of all the layoffs. That aside, the other online modes are great and, at least from my playthroughs, very stable. Admittedly, I am in Japan, and the internet connection speeds here are extremely high, so obviously bear that in mind. Overall, Mario Kart World is a huge undertaking, but it still offers the classic Mario Kart progression we've all grown up with. Whether this will sell as much as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe remains to be seen, but from the off, Mario Kart World definitely has an enormous amount of content to wrap your head around, and the multiplayer will likely keep it an evergreen release for years to come, much like the other games in the series have been. Mario Kart World Platform: Nintendo Switch 2 Developer: Nintendo EPD Publisher: Nintendo Released: 5th June 2025 Price: $79.99 Score: 9/10 Disclosure: Nintendo sent me a copy of this game for the purposes of this review. Follow me on X, Facebook and YouTube. I also manage Mecha Damashii and am currently featured in the Giant Robots exhibition currently touring Japan.

I just played Street Fighter 6 on Switch 2 — and I can't believe how good it is
Mario Kart World is a fantastic Nintendo Switch 2 game, but the game I'll be playing most on the console is Street Fighter 6. Yes, I've already spent 206 hours on the PS5 edition, but I've been having a blast playing it on Nintendo's latest console/handheld hybrid. Why? Because of the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro controller. That might come as a surprise if you're a fighting game fanatic like me. Hell, writing this is weird for me too! I still prefer using the best fight sticks, but the updated Switch 2 Pro controller isn't bad for playing fighting games. Sure, it doesn't have a six-button layout like the Hori Wireless Fighting Commander Octa Pro, but the Switch 2 Pro controller gets the job done. If you're hesitant about playing Street Fighter 6 on Switch 2, don't be. Not only does it look and perform phenomenally, but it controls like a dream, especially with a Switch 2 Pro controller. I'll explain why. The Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller is practically guaranteed to be the most in-demand Switch 2 accessory, and it packs a suitable upgrade over its predecessor adding a headphone jack, the new "C" button, and customizable back buttons. Additional retailers: Best Buy | GameStop Before moving on, let me break down what Street Fighter 6 on Switch 2 has to offer. Out of the box, you get all of the characters, stages and balance updates released for seasons 1 and 2. You'll have to pay for the inevitable season 3 (which should arrive this summer), but getting seasons 1 and 2 at no extra charge is a nice deal. Content-wise, you'll have access to everything in the game's three core modes: World Tour, Battle Hub, and Fighting Ground. There's also a pair of Switch 2-exclusive offline modes called Gyro Battle and Calorie Contest. The former has you using the Joy-Con's gyro controls to perform attacks, while the latter has you furiously shaking the Joy-Con to burn in-game calories to get a high score. While I appreciate that the Switch 2 has two exclusive modes, I likely won't indulge in them since they seem like too much work. But that's fine since there's so much other content to engage with. Content I can use the Pro controller with! The Switch 2 Pro controller isn't a huge upgrade from the original Switch 1 model, but its minor adjustments make for a better overall peripheral. The most notable update comes in the form of two programmable back buttons, but the slightly slimmer design and matte-like texture are just as nice. Nintendo also says the analog sticks are less likely to suffer from stick drift. The Pro controller doesn't have an ideal button layout for Street Fighter 6 since the controller doesn't have six face buttons. However, since the four face buttons are so large, pressing them is very easy, even when you have to press two simultaneously. The shoulder buttons are simple to reach and also feel nice to press. Overall, the buttons are extremely responsive. I usually struggle with cross-shaped D-pads like the one on the Switch 2 controller, but I had little trouble performing motion inputs for special and super moves during my playtime. The D-pad isn't that large, which allows me to easily cover it with the joint of my thumb. I sometimes misperform inputs, but I'm sure my accuracy will improve as I become more accustomed to this D-pad. The controller is relatively light but still has enough weight to prevent it from feeling cheap. The aforementioned texture feels good against my palms and helps me maintain a solid grip. It's just a well-built peripheral that's a joy to use for hours on end, even for fighting games. Street Fighter 6 1-2 Fighters Edition will features 26 characters and 20 stages. You'll fight your way to the top with all new content and game modes exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2 like Local Wireless One on One and Avatar retailers: GameStop Dedicated fight pads and fight sticks are still best for playing fighting games like Street Fighter 6. However, it might be a while before officially licensed Switch 2 fighting game controllers start arriving. You might have luck pairing a Switch 1 fight stick/pad to the new console, but compatibility isn't guaranteed. Thankfully, the Switch 2 Pro controller is excellent for playing fighting games on Nintendo's new system. I expected to love the Switch 2 Pro controller since I'm a fan of the previous model. What I didn't foresee is how well the new controller would work with Street Fighter 6. Again, I've sunk hundreds of hours into Capcom's fighter, but I'm down to spend even more time beating the snot out of opponents just to continue using the Pro controller. It really is a fantastic peripheral for fighting games on Switch 2.
