How to solve today's Wordle. SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images Saturday is here at last. Hooray for the weekend! The summer has been quite lovely these past few days, with some light monsoons here in the high mountain desert. Monsoons are the best, and I hope we get more of them because it's been ab it of a tease. If you're looking to end your fun in the sun with some good TV shows or movies, be sure to check out my weekend streaming guide with all the best current streaming options and theatrical releases.

Wordle is a daily word puzzle game where your goal is to guess a hidden five-letter word in six tries or fewer. After each guess, the game gives feedback to help you get closer to the answer: Green : The letter is in the word and in the correct spot. : The letter is in the word and in the correct spot. Yellow : The letter is in the word, but in the wrong spot. : The letter is in the word, but in the wrong spot. Gray: The letter is not in the word at all. Use these clues to narrow down your guesses. Every day brings a new word, and everyone around the world is trying to solve the same puzzle. Some Wordlers also play Competitive Wordle against friends, family, the Wordle Bot or even against me, your humble narrator. See rules for Competitive Wordle toward the end of this post. Wordle Bot's Starting Word: SLATE My Starting Word Today: STORE (35 words remaining) The Hint: Flat or dull finish. The Clue: This Wordle has a double letter. Okay, spoilers below! The answer is coming! . . . The Answer: Today's Wordle Screenshot: Erik Kain Wordle Analysis Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game.

I opted for all new letters in my second guess, and CLAIM did the trick. There was just one possible solution remaining: MATTE for the win! Competitive Wordle Score Today's Wordle Bot Screenshot: Erik Kain The Bot and I each get 1 point for guessing in three and zero for tying, which leaves us with August totals of: Erik: 6 points Wordle Bot: 11 points How To Play Competitive Wordle Guessing in 1 is worth 3 points; guessing in 2 is worth 2 points; guessing in 3 is worth 1 point; guessing in 4 is worth 0 points; guessing in 5 is -1 points; guessing in 6 is -2 points and missing the Wordle is -3 points. If you beat your opponent you get 1 point. If you tie, you get 0 points. And if you lose to your opponent, you get -1 point. Add it up to get your score. Keep a daily running score or just play for a new score each day. Fridays are 2XP, meaning you double your points—positive or negative. You can keep a running tally or just play day-by-day. Enjoy! Today's Wordle Etymology "Matte" comes from French mat meaning 'dull, without luster,' which itself comes from Old French mat 'dejected, beaten,' from Vulgar Latin mattus 'mazy, sluggish' (possibly from Latin maddus 'moist, drunk') — the sense shifted to 'dull in color or finish' in art and photography.

Kid Cudi Reveals He 'Hated Every Minute' Of Testifying In Diddy Trial
Source: John Nacion / Getty Rapper Kid Cudi has always shied away from media attention and would rather let his catalogue speak for itself, but lately, he's been getting more time in the spotlight, whether he likes it or not. The 41-year-old is currently promoting his book, Cudi: The Memoir, and while doing so, he's also been asked about the last time he was peppered with questions, which was earlier this year when he was subpoenaed to testify against Diddy in his federal sex trafficking and racketeering case. During a recent conversation on the Call Her Daddy podcast, he admitted to host Alex Cooper that he felt uneasy on the stand. ' I was just there because I had to be,' he said . 'I hated every minute of it.' But he goes on to explain that he found solace in knowing that he was doing it for Cassie. We care about your data. See our privacy policy. 'I've always just wanted to see her thrive and do well and be happy because I know she was living a nightmare,' he said. 'And I was just there to support her. That's what kind of gave me peace with it when I sat down in that chair.' When he testified, he told the horrifying stories of how Diddy treated him when he found out he'd been dating Cassie. He remembers the Bad Boy CEO breaking into his home and locking his dog in a bathroom. During another incident, Cudi alleges that Diddy tossed a Molotov cocktail at his Porsche, which set it on fire. That's when Cudi decided to end his short-lived relationship with Cassie out of fear of continued violence, and remembers confronting Diddy about the attempted car bombing, saying he was standing 'with his hands behind his back like a Marvel supervillain.' At the trial's conclusion, Diddy was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering but found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, which carries a few years in prison. Despite several attempts to get out on a $50 million bond and remain confined to his Miami mansion, he is still in a Brooklyn jail cell awaiting an Oct. 3 sentencing date. See social media's reaction to him testifiying below. SEE ALSO Kid Cudi Reveals He 'Hated Every Minute' Of Testifying In Diddy Trial was originally published on
