If you are having trouble with Sunday's Wordle puzzle, we have a few helpful clues for you.
Wordle, created by Brooklyn-based software engineer Josh Wardle in January 2021, quickly gained global popularity. The game skyrocketed from just 91 players in November 2021 to more than 2 million by January 2022. This surge of interest caught the attention of The New York Times, which acquired the game for an undisclosed seven-figure sum in early 2022.
In Wordle, players must guess a secret five-letter word within six tries. The game offers color-coded feedback: green tiles indicate the correct letter in the right position; yellow means the letter is in the word but in the wrong place; and gray signals that the letter is not in the word.
In a January 2022 interview, Wardle explained why he settled on five-letter words and six attempts. "I tested different word lengths and the number of tries players were allowed," he said. "Through that process, I found that five letters and six tries created the perfect balance. It's challenging but still solvable, giving players a real sense of accomplishment."
Erhan Aslan, an expert in applied linguistics who teaches at the University of Reading in the United Kingdom, previously provided some useful advice for Wordle players in an interview with Newsweek.
"One thing that I think is important in this game is the starting word chosen," Aslan said. "Starting off with words that include commonly used vowels, for example, e and a, consonants such as r and t, and sound sequences might be helpful."
He added: "Choosing a word that starts with q, z, j or x, for instance, may not be the best choice. You get more feedback after a few guesses. Users need to draw on some knowledge of phonics to narrow down or eliminate some words that they might be thinking."
If you are looking for today's answer, it is further down in the article—proceed with caution.

Why Nebius Group Stock Soared Higher Today
One stock analyst sees more than 100% upside for Nebius Group shares. Nebius' revenue growth is strong and accelerating. The artificial intelligence (AI) cloud services provider has a large cash position and recently announced another $1 billion capital raise. 10 stocks we like better than Nebius Group › Shares of artificial intelligence (AI) cloud service provider Nebius Group (NASDAQ: NBIS) are surging today. The stock jumped after one independent equity research firm began coverage on the stock with a very bullish outlook. Nebius stock was trading higher by 19.5% as of 11:05 a.m. ET. London-based Arete Research analyst Andrew Beale began coverage of the stock with a "buy" rating and a price target that seems to have taken investors by surprise. Reports say Beale set $84 as his price target, which represents a 113% increase over Wednesday's closing price. The analyst sees that significant upside after the Netherlands-based Nebius recently reported first-quarter revenue growth of 385%. That was off a low base versus last year, but the company sees continued expansion at an accelerated rate. Beale's optimism stems from the nearly 700% increase in Nebius' annualized revenue run rate. Management expects to at least triple that annualized level of revenue by the fourth quarter of this year. Its AI cloud capabilities are in high demand, and Nebius reports a strong $1.44 billion cash position as of March 31. That cash will be needed for the continued investment in cloud infrastructure to continue to scale the business. Nebius also announced a $1 billion capital raise on June 2 from the sale of convertible notes. Nebius also has a partnership with AI leader Nvidia, offering the new Blackwell Ultra AI factory platform to businesses looking "to build the next generation of agentic, reasoning, and physical AI." Investors still need to consider the risks. In addition to its capital spending needs, Nebius seeks to achieve a goal of positive adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) later this year. That's one key metric investors should continue to monitor. That would instill more confidence in the stock and the company's ability to continue to achieve its high growth trajectory.

Jonas Brother Cast as Paul Stanley of KISS in New Biopic
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors If you're going to make a rock biopic and you need to cast the frontman, you may as well get a singer to play a singer. Deadline reports that's exactly what's happened with the upcoming biopic of the glam rock band KISS. Nick Jonas of Jonas Brothers fame has been cast as KISS frontman Paul Stanley in the upcoming biopic about the band, "Shout It Out Loud". The film is directed by McG from a script by Darren Lemke. McG is best remembered as the director of the 2003 sequel "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" and 2009's "Terminator Salvation". Read More: Original 'Harry Potter' Actor to Join Hit 'Cursed Child' Broadway Play "Shout It Out Loud" is scheduled to go into production either by the end of this year or early in 2026. Paul Stanley of KISS performs during KISS: End of the Road World Tour at Madison Square Garden on December 01, 2023 in New York City. Paul Stanley of KISS performs during KISS: End of the Road World Tour at Madison Square Garden on December 01, 2023 in New York says that Jonas will be doing his own singing for the film, but that he'll be going through some training in order to more accurately sound like Stanley. The site also reports that McG is getting close to finding a star who can play perhaps the most famous member of KISS, Gene Simmons. While KISS is a four-man group, Stanley and Simmons have been the only consistent members over the years, with the rest of the lineup changing a number of times since the band's formation in the seventies. First getting together in 1973, KISS is less known for its music and better remembered for its theatrics. Their performances were known for their pyrotechnics, fire breathing, blood spitting, levitating drum kits, and more. The band members wear face paint and take on the roles of fantastic characters like Starchild (Stanley) and The Demon (Simmons). In fact, along with their onstage personas, the band has appeared in comic books for decades in stories that portray them not only as a rock band but as saviors of the world. The most recent comic was Dynamite Entertainment's "KISS: Phantom Obsession". They've also crossed over with numerous other properties such as "Vampirella" and "Army of Darkness". Musically, the band is best known for power anthems like "Rock and Roll All Nite". They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.
