I'm getting an MRI this week for my back and SPINE seemed like a pretty natural opening guess under the circumstance. It was also quite lucky! Just 13 words remained. I couldn't think of a good word with all new letters — KAPUT was Wordle Bot's suggestion for my second guess, which of course I didn't know until after — so I went with CLAIM. I should have just guessed PLAIN! Oh well.

The tie means both the Wordle Bot and I get 1 point for guessing in three and 0 for tying. Double that to 2 points each for 2XP Friday and our June gap remains the same:
Erik: 18 points
Wordle Bot: 11 points
The word "plain" comes from the Latin planus, meaning 'flat' or 'level.' It entered English via Old French plain, which carried meanings like 'flat,' 'smooth,' or 'clear.' Over time, it evolved in English to mean both "flat land" (a plain) and "simple" or "unadorned" (plain speech, plain clothes), all rooted in the idea of something being straightforward or without complexity.

BBC News Presenters Back Demand For Strike Vote As Colleagues Face Compulsory Layoffs
EXCLUSIVE: BBC News presenters are among those calling on their union to hold a strike ballot over colleagues facing compulsory redundancy. In a letter seen by Deadline, nearly 80 BBC journalists have written to Laura Davison, general secretary of the National Union of Journalists (NUJ), demanding a vote on industrial action. High-profile signatories include presenters Martine Croxall, Samira Ahmed, and Kasia Madera. More from Deadline BBC To Charge U.S. Audiences For News For First Time BBC Boss Tim Davie Tells Staff Not To Fight With Their Families Over Gaza Output UK Culture Secretary Says BBC Should Not Platform Kneecap At Glastonbury: "This Is A Band That Has Thrived On The Oxygen Of Publicity" The letter comes after Deadline reported earlier this month that five seasoned BBC journalists, boasting more than 100 years of combined experience, have been told they will lose their jobs. There are also thought to be a handful of other compulsory redundancies planned on Asian Network News. The NUJ's policy is to ballot BBC union members for strike action if any fellow member is facing compulsory redundancy. However, the NUJ has so far not issued a ballot for those facing layoffs in this latest round of cuts. 'Compulsory redundancy was always a red line for the NUJ — why has that changed and since when?' the letter asked. 'Many of us have been NUJ members for decades — we are all alarmed that the fundamental principle of opposing CR [compulsory redundancy] is not being upheld.' The missive added that some of the journalists affected will be forced to leave the BBC by mid-August after being told by the corporation that redeployment is not an option. 'We are running out of time,' the BBC employees wrote. The NUJ declined to comment. Deadline understands that the BBC's position on redeployment is also contested, with those at risk of redundancy arguing that there are suitable alternative roles being advertised on the broadcaster's jobs board. Four senior BBC journalists have lodged age discrimination complaints as part of the redundancy dispute. The aggrieved employees are all over the age of 50 and have raised an internal complaint as a first step to pursuing an employment tribunal against the BBC. In a previous statement, a BBC News spokesperson said: 'Like all parts of the BBC, News needs to contribute to the savings announced last year. While we do not comment on individual staff issues, restructuring in BBC News is taking place according to established BBC policies; we conduct all processes in a thorough and fair manner, and we are committed to supporting our staff throughout, including through comprehensive redeployment assistance.' The layoffs are part of savings plans announced by BBC News last October. The division said it would cut 130 roles and cancel interview series HARDtalk as part of BBC-wide efforts to save £700M ($943M). BBC News CEO Deborah Turness acknowledged at the time that the changes were 'not easy.'

Jannik Sinner Looks Back on His Epic French Open Final With Alcaraz—and Tells Us How He's Preparing for Wimbledon
If you didn't see the men's final at this year's French Open, you likely heard about the match that was almost instantly dubbed one of the best of all time. After holding three match points on his serve against Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner saw the next two sets slip away until Alcaraz seized victory with a fifth-set tiebreak win. After the accolades (and the heartbreak) had a moment to settle, the question then became: How does Jannik Sinner, the world's number-one ranked player, recover from this? What does he do next? And how is he preparing for Wimbledon, which starts Monday, as Alcaraz goes for a three-peat? We called the three-time Grand Slam champion to find out. Vogue: Where did you go and what did you do after that epic final at Roland-Garros? Jannik Sinner: I went home to my parents' place [in the South Tyrol region of northeast Italy] and spent some time with them and with my friends and doing just normal stuff. We made barbecue, I played some table tennis with my friends—it was some good time off, and then after some days, I came to prepare for the tournament here. So, yeah—everything was good, was relaxed, and now I'm back—so let's see what we can do. I'm sure you're eager to move forward from the French, but if I could just ask: Is it easier to deal with this kind of loss when everyone's saying it's one of the greatest matches in recent tennis history? Does that make you somehow more proud to be part of that—or does it make it even harder to deal with? No, no—look, when I see how people talk about this match, I'm honestly happy to have been a part of it. People will, of course, remember who won and who lost, but they will also remember how good the match was—and to make a good match, you need two players, and I was one of them. So, of course it hurt—it still hurts at times—but it is what it is. When I was a kid, I would have never expected to play a final of a Grand Slam, or to be in the position I am in, so everything now is just positive. I understood the potential I have, but on the other hand, you just have to keep working, keep believing, keep searching for things you have to do better if you want to become a better player.

Mario's old soccer pitch comes to the new Switch.
Posted Jun 27, 2025 at 9:40 AM UTC Mario's old soccer pitch comes to the new Switch. Originally released for the Nintendo GameCube console in 2005, Super Mario Strikers will be available exclusively for the Switch 2 on July 3rd via the Switch Online Expansion Pack membership. That relegates original Switch owners to sticking with Mario Strikers: Battle League , which is a bit of a ball-kicker.
