Hotel Eden Roc Reopens on Lake Maggiore
Hotel Eden Roc in Ascona, Switzerland has reopened its doors after undergoing seven months of extensive renovations of its main building. Perched on the shores of Lake Maggiore, the property has unveiled an array of new rooms and suites, and a transformed lobby, facade, and Garden of Eden boasting Mediterranean charm and unrivaled lakeside views. The renovations are led by local Ticino designers and architects Carlo Rampazzi and Fiorenzo Tresoldi. Together, they worked to incorporate extensive glasswork and a carefully selected array of materials, infusing the hotel with a new sense of lightness and zest. Vibrant colors and elegant architecture accentuate the reimagined lobby, rooms, and suites of the main building, reflecting the hotel's timeless charm. Each balcony has also been refitted with glass balustrades to enhance the views of Lake Maggiore and the surrounding mountains. Additionally, the 100,000 square foot Garden of Eden and pontile have been revamped, featuring lush summer blooms, cozy seating areas, and direct access to the lake with a private harbor. New offerings also include the Eden Roc Beach Buggy and the first Swisse-pedalo, OTTER, for enjoying adventures on the lake and surrounding areas. Beyond aesthetics, the award-winning resort has embraced sustainability by introducing a forward-thinking energy concept that leverages the natural temperature differences between the lake and groundwater, allowing a CO2-neutral energy supply. The hotel utilizes energy from its own photovoltaic systems, positioning the property as the first independent hotel to undertake such an investment in sustainable energy efficiency. During a visit, guests can fill their days with peaceful walks along Ascona's main piazza or leisurely boat rides on the lake, while soaking in the unique charm and rich culture of the region. Travelers can also enjoy bicycle tours around Ticino, hiking to the Castelliere Ruins, and exploring the Monte Verita tea gardens. As the Eden Roc is the only true beach resort in Switzerland with direct waterfront access to the lake, visitors can enjoy swimming, kayaking, and paddle boarding right from the shores of the property.

Wordle hints today for #1,347: Clues and answer for Tuesday, February 25
Hey, there! We hope your week is off to a great start. Let's keep things positive by making sure your Wordle streak remains intact. In case you need a little help, here's our daily Wordle guide with some hints and the answer for Tuesday's puzzle (#1,347). 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. See for yourself — The Yodel is the go-to source for daily news, entertainment and feel-good stories. By signing up, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Policy. 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. 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. 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 1,300 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, February 24 — GLAND Sunday, February 23 — OTTER Saturday, February 22 — CREAM Friday, February 21 — CLOVE Thursday, February 20 — ROACH 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: Moisture-removing appliance. There are no repeated letters in today's Wordle answer. The first letter of today's Wordle answer is D. 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... DRYER 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.
