How to solve today's Wordle. SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images Looking for Sunday's Wordle hints, clues and answer? You can find them here: It's the first Monday of June and some might say the first Monday of summer, though I hew to the solstices, personally. This year, the Summer Solstice takes place on my birthday, June 20th. I like to think the first day of summer is also my day. Mine and mine alone. Still, it may as well be summer outside. Go out and enjoy some sunshine—but first, let's solve this Wordle! The Hint: To make oneself attractive, or to talk about it annoyingly. The Clue: This Wordle has a double letter. Okay, spoilers below! The answer is coming! . . . Today's Wordle Credit: Erik Kain Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here. I don't feel particularly good about my guessing game today, and ultimately I just got super lucky on my fourth guess. STORE left me with 214 words, but rearranging my yellow boxes was pretty unsuccessful. REACH only slashed that number down to 61. GRIEF, sadly, only reduced that number to four. I came up with three possible answers: BREED, FREED and PREEN. I was pretty sure BREED had already been used, so I guessed PREEN and lucky me, that was the Wordle! Today's Wordle Bot Credit: Erik Kain A complete reversal of yesterday's score today. I get 0 for guessing in four and -1 for losing to the Bot. The Bot gets 1 point for guessing in three and 1 for beating me, bringing our June totals to a tie: Erik: 1 point Wordle Bot: 1 point FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder The verb preen comes from late Middle English prenen 'dress or groom oneself,' which in turn derives from Middle Dutch pruinen 'dress up, make neat.' Originally it meant 'to dress or adorn oneself with pride,' and by the mid‑15th century it was applied to birds 'smoothing or arranging their feathers' by analogy to human grooming.

‘NYT Mini' Crossword Hints For Monday. June 2: Clues And Answers For Today's Game
Answers for today's NYT Mini Crossword are just ahead. Before we get to today's NYT Mini crossword hints, clues and answers, here are Sunday's: Wondering what film by the Coen brothers is set almost entirely in Minnesota (not North Dakota)? Not sure what skirts are often worn with pointe shoes? Don't worry, because I'm here to help you with extra hints and the answers for today's NYT Mini crossword. The NYT Mini is a quick and dirty version of the newspaper's larger and long-running crossword. Most days, there are between three and five clues in each direction on a five by five grid, but the puzzles are sometimes larger, especially on Saturdays. Unlike its larger sibling, the NYT Mini crossword is free to play on the New York Times website or NYT Games app. However, you'll need an NYT Games subscription to access previous puzzles in the archives. Here are extra hints and the official NYT Mini Crossword clues and answers for Monday, June 2: Spoilers lie ahead, so remember to scroll slowly: 1 Across: The most populous city in North Dakota 6 Across: An expression that doesn't have a literal meaning 7 Across: Many ballet dancers wear 'em 8 Across: Light-emitting diode, for short 9 Across: Airport security, perhaps 1 Down: Like a fiddle? 2 Down: Grown-up 3 Down: Several ceremonial activities 4 Down: Mild cheese from the Netherlands, named after a town where it was traded 5 Down: Utterances at a peaceful retreat 1 Across: Film by the Coen brothers set almost entirely in Minnesota (not North Dakota) – FARGO 6 Across: Phrase that's tough to translate, maybe – IDIOM 7 Across: Skirts often worn with pointe shoes – TUTUS 8 Across: Was in front – LED 9 Across: Org. now checking for Real IDs – TSA 1 Down: In shape – FIT 2 Down: Kind of content that might require age verification online – ADULT 3 Down: Baptisms and bat mitzvahs – RITES 4 Down: Cheese that's frequently smoked – GOUDA 5 Down: Sounds from meditators – OMS Completed New York Times Mini crossword for Monday, June 2. It took me 0:30 to complete today's NYT Mini. I'm pretty happy with that time! I got all of the Across answers on my first pass except for LED. It took me a couple of seconds to figure out IDIOM and TSA as well. I barely glanced at the first clue before excitedly typing in FARGO (love that film). After that, 2, 3 and 4 Down were just a case of filling in the blanks. I'll be back with you tomorrow for more NYT Mini fun! Make sure to follow my blog for more coverage of the NYT Mini and other word games, as well as video game news, insights and analysis. It helps me out a lot!

Answers for today's NYT Mini Crossword are just ahead. Before we get to today's NYT Mini crossword hints, clues and answers, here are Friday's: Wondering what sea creature has the scientific name Monodon monoceros? Not sure what a ballet-inspired fitness class might be? Don't worry, because I'm here to help you with extra hints and the answers for today's NYT Mini crossword. The NYT Mini is a quick and dirty version of the newspaper's larger and long-running crossword. Most days, there are between three and five clues in each direction on a five by five grid, but the puzzles are sometimes larger, especially on Saturdays. Unlike its larger sibling, the NYT Mini crossword is free to play on the New York Times website or NYT Games app. However, you'll need an NYT Games subscription to access previous puzzles in the archives. Here are extra hints and the official NYT Mini Crossword clues and answers for Saturday, May 31: Spoilers lie ahead, so remember to scroll slowly: FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder 1 Across: Each of a pair 5 Across: Horizontal bar that dancers to hold on to 6 Across: Earthy mess made by a kid 7 Across: A type of Arctic whale 8 Across: Going toward the net 9 Across: Home Alone actor Daniel 10 Across: A type of sale for your old stuff 1 Down: Curses! 2 Down: Sci-fi series ___ Black 3 Down: A test period 4 Down: Pro wrestling bad guy 5 Down: Goes well with fries 6 Down: A fish with fins that are like wings 7 Down: Overly inquisitive 1 Across: This one and that one – BOTH 5 Across: Ballet-inspired fitness class – BARRE 6 Across: Mississippi ___ (rich chocolate dessert) – MUD PIE 7 Across: Sea creature with the scientific name Monodon monoceros ("one tooth, one horn") – NARWHAL 8 Across: Like some soccer shots – ON GOAL 9 Across: Strict in tone – STERN 10 Across: Place for a "For Sale" sign – YARD 1 Down: $#!&, e.g. – BAD WORD 2 Down: Harry Potter, Annie or Bruce Wayne – ORPHAN 3 Down: ___ and error – TRIAL 4 Down: Dog trainer's "Walk next to me!" – HEEL 5 Down: Hot dog alternative – BURGER 6 Down: Relative of a stingray – MANTA 7 Down: All up in one's business – NOSY Completed New York Times Mini crossword for Friday, May 16. It took me 2:30 to complete today's NYT Mini. Not a bad time for a Saturday Mini. I'll take that. BARRE was one that I had to rely on the Down answers to fill out. I always think of shots in football (I can't call it soccer, sorry) as being "at goal" not ON GOAL, so that one tripped me up. I thought STERN might have been "harsh" and YARD might be "home," so those slowed me down a bit once I got to the Down clues. I'll be back with you tomorrow for more NYT Mini fun!
