Wordle hints today for #1,459: Clues and answer for Tuesday, June 17
Hey, there! We hope your week is off to a great start. Let's make it even better by extending your Wordle streak. In case you need some help with that, here's our daily Wordle guide with some hints and the answer for Tuesday's puzzle (#1,459). 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 and Discord. 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. Before today's Wordle hints, here are the answers to recent puzzles that you may have missed: Yesterday's Wordle answer for Monday, June 16 — PETTY Sunday, June 15 — QUAIL Saturday, June 14 — GHOST Friday, June 13 — BILGE Thursday, June 12 — VIXEN Every day, we'll try to make Wordle a little easier for you. First, we'll offer a hint that describes the meaning of the word or how it might be used in a phrase or sentence. We'll also tell you if there are any double (or even triple) letters in the word. In case you still haven't quite figured it out by that point, we'll then provide the first letter of the word. Those who are still stumped after that can continue on to find out the answer for today's Wordle. This should go without saying, but make sure to scroll slowly. Spoilers are ahead. Here is a hint for today's Wordle answer: A practical joke. There are no repeated letters in today's Wordle answer. The first letter of today's Wordle answer is P. This is your final warning before we reveal today's Wordle answer. No take-backs. Don't blame us if you happen to scroll too far and accidentally spoil the game for yourself. What is today's Wordle? Today's Wordle answer is... PRANK Not to worry if you didn't figure out today's Wordle word. If you made it this far down the page, hopefully you at least kept your streak going. And, hey: there's always another game tomorrow.

Hailey Bieber Delivers Ultimate 4-Word Comeback To Husband Justin's Anti-Mother's Day Post
After fans accused Justin Bieber of purposely trying to embarrass his wife, Hailey Bieber, with a recent string of online posts, social media users are now praising her for seemingly getting back at her husband. One of the pop star's perplexing posts was a message to his wife on her first Mother's Day last month. The couple, who tied the knot in 2018, welcomed their son, Jack, last August. 'Love u moms but mothers day sucks ass,' the singer wrote May 11 on his Instagram Notes, a post he deleted hours later. Adding insult to injury, Bieber appeared to share a screenshot of his stinging words in his Instagram Story the same day. In a follow-up post, he added, 'Good luck today for anyone navigating Mother's Day.' While social media users criticized the 'Peaches' singer's bizarre tirade against Mother's Day, Bieber did switch up his tone while celebrating his wife. 'Best mommy day gurlie,' he wrote alongside multiple photos of her in what appeared to be the couple's living room. Bieber also posted a video of himself surprising his wife with a mariachi band on the big day. On Father's Day, the Rhodes founder appeared to get back at her husband. Under a black and white selfie of Justin Bieber that he captioned 'I'm a dad that's not to be fucked with,' his wife commented, 'Father's Day sucks ass,' according to screenshots captured by BuzzFeed and otheroutlets. Her comment appears to have since been removed. Reps for the Biebers didn't immediately respond to HuffPost's request for comment. While it's unclear whether the pair were serious about their comments, social media users were delighted over the model's feisty clapback. 'Hailey should've kept her 'Father's Day sucks ass' comment because what a queen she is for that [hand clap emoji and fire emoji],' one person wrote. Another tagged Hailey Bieber and asked her, 'Where's your comment?' adding, '[You] ate.' Meanwhile, Justin Bieber appeared to address his mental health in a post Monday, telling his nearly 300 million Instagram followers that he knows he's 'broken' and has 'anger issues.' 'People keep telling me to heal. Don't you think if I could have fixed myself I would have already. I know I'm broken. I know I have anger issues,' he began in his message. He 'tried to do the work my whole life to be like the people who told me I needed to be fixed like them,' he continued, 'and it just keeps making me more tired and more angry.' Bieber added: 'The harder I try to grow, the more focused on myself I am. Jesus is the only person who keeps me wanting to make my life about others. Because honestly I'm exhausted with thinking about myself lately, aren't you?' Justin Bieber Delivers Spicy 4-Word Reply To Fan Speculating About His Well-Being Justin Bieber Says He's 'Not To Be F—ed With' In Perplexing Father's Day Post Justin Bieber Just Shared One Of The Meanest Things He's Said To His Wife — On Purpose, To The Public
