‘7 Little Words' Hints, Clues And Answers For Sunday, July 13th
I've added the fun, and fairly challenging, 7 Little Words to my rotation of word puzzle games recently. I thought it might be fun to try out something new and different, and it also struck me as a good game to write guides for since some of these little words can be rather tricky to cobble together.
If you haven't played the game yet, you can play 7 Little Words right here.
The game is simple. You have a five-by-five grid of boxes, each containing a group of letters. Above this grid are seven phrases, each giving you a clue to seven words. The number of letters is listed next to each phrase. There is no time limit and no penalty for wrong answers. Solve each one in any order you please.
The example given by the game is 'deep fried treats' (6 letters) and the boxes that would create the word are DO + NU + TS for DONUTS. The game is played in UK English, so this could throw a little wrench into things for non-Brits.

Before we get to the answers, below you'll find the starting 'box' for each word in today's puzzle. Spoilers ahead!
Here are the first letters of each corresponding word:
1. malodorous, to a Brit = NIF
2. dolphin of Flipper's species = BOT
3. become stinky with decay = PU
4. giving off a fragrant odor = RED
5. long, flexible snout = PRO
6. stinky cheese from Germany = LIM
7. smell of earth after rain = PET
Now here are the full answers.
1. soft toys = NIFFY
2. irritation in one's side = BOTTLENOSE
3. British actor Hugo = PUTREFY
4. celeb owned Welsh FC = REDOLENT
5. bowler by another name = PROBOSCIS
6. sea off Papua New Guinea = LIMBURGER
7. Japanese style of painting = PETRICHOR
Today's 7 Little Words answers
Today's 7 Little Words is all about our olfactory system. Smells. Words for different smells, or things that are smelly. Or words for noses. I got BOTTLENOSE first, since it's one of the only types of dolphins I actually could think of, and then PETRICHOR since I've always thought it was cool that there's a word for the smell of earth after rain. From here, I had to think a bit harder. I thought of PUTRED which got me to PUTREFY. With few two-letter boxes left, I was able to take a wild swing at NIFFY as some random British slang I'd never heard before. I found BURGER and figured that had to be part of something. Tacking LIM to the front got me the stinky German cheese, which I don't think I've ever tried. Nothing so simple as TRUNK was out there for a long, flexible snout so I worked on fragrant odors and eventually found REDOLENT (another great word). Only PROBOSCIS remained. This one was tricky!

Sources Say Charli XCX and George Daniel Are Having a Party Wedding in Italy This Summer
Charli XCX and her fiance, The 1975 drummer George Daniel, are gearing up to make it official this summer! According to The Sun, the couple are planning to exchange vows in Sicily and are sparing no expense with a "six figure" budget. "Charli and George fell in love with Sicily and knew they wanted to get married there," a source says. "It's incredibly secluded and romantic. There will be no expense spared. It's costing tens of thousands of pounds and visually it will be mesmerizing. Charli and George said they wanted a massive party and there are no restrictions on when the bar has to close, so it can go on all night." The source adds that "They have both had such a busy summer with massive shows, but from mid-August they're able to slow down and focus on their big day. It's going to be pretty star-studded too, with plenty of their celeb mates making the journey over to Sicily to watch them say 'I do.' Charli and George are so excited to become man and wife." An insider previously told the outlet back in June that "They've found a venue that they think is perfect for their unique style of wedding, which won't exactly be traditional. The main aim is to have everyone they love come together, and obviously, there are plenty of people who are desperate for an invite." FYI, Charli spoke about her wedding plans to The Howard Stern Show in October of last year, saying (via Just Jared) "We are kind of like planning it slowly. I don't know. It's like, we're both very like chill and we kind of just wanna have a party. It's our vibe. Like neither of us are particularly formal about like marriage, I guess, or care about the formalities of like the ceremony or whatever. We just like wanna be together forever and have a party with our friends, is our vibe. So that's kind of like what we're aiming for wedding wise."

The Couture Challenge—It Was a Face-Off of Extremes on the Streets at the Fall 2025 Shows
Do opposites attract? Couture might be all about glamour and glitz on the runway, but that's not the whole story. Take Pierpaolo Piccioli, who showed up at Demna's final Balenciaga show on the back of a motorcycle in dad sneakers. Or consider Sofia Coppola, who proves that you can in fact wear a pair of simple white jeans to sit front-row at Chanel. But of course couture isn't couture without some opulence, of the kind that Cardi B. delivered at Schiaparelli and Lisa Rinna gave at Balenciaga. Below we've rounded up the extremes of street style at the fall 2025 couture shows in Paris. Round 1: Jeans or Couture? Are you more Sofia C or Cardi B?

Nicole Kidman reveals her natural hair texture and the shaggy curls have us in awe
Nicole Kidman has been having a good great hair day since May. (Could never be me.) After the time she shocked the nation with a pixie cut at the 2025 Met Gala, the actor has served look after look; from a hacked ear-length bob, to a striking ice white lob, there's no stopping Nic! Most recently, however, she's pared it all back and instead, debuted a more natural look. Enter: An abundance of shaggy curls. In a recent 16-part Instagram carousel post, Nicole is shown to be enjoying a summer holiday away with her family. And as much as we enjoy a sneak peek into the group's the wholesome activity, it was a snap of Nicole's hair, in a picture alongside her sister Antonia Kidman and niece Lucia Hawley, that had us in awe. Gone are the star's signature straight lengths and in replacement, she's giving voluminous stretched curls for days. For context, here's a look at the before and afters... Before: A rare yet gorgeous sight! For definition, a curly girl gel or cream is going to be your go-to. Our favourite's at the moment? The Bouclème Curl Cream which helps to style, soften and define all curl types, with the result of bouncy, velvety curls and the Noughty Wave Hello Curl Taming Cream which is an uber-light weight but moisturising formula, great for those with finer hair types. So, prepare to make like Nic with choppy, layered curls to rival those of a mermaid. You heard it here first, it's a curly girl summer! Follow Lia on Instagram.
