Today's Wordle answer for Saturday, May 24
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Whether you need a little or a lot of Wordle help this weekend, we've got exactly what you need ready to go. Keep it simple with a quick glance at our general tips, go a little deeper with a clue written especially for today's game, or run straight for the May 24 (1435) answer. We just want to make sure you guess after the first row felt like a cruel tease today. I was so sure I'd definitely got the answer this time. No? OK then, this time. Maybe this time, please? I could see I was slowly inching my way towards today's winning word because new green and yellow letters kept popping up, but it didn't feel like I was getting anywhere. At least by the time I hit the bottom of the board there was only one valid word left to try—panic over. A wide variety of clothes and shoes can be made out of this soft and fuzzy type of leather. Yes, there is a double letter in today's puzzle. A good starting word can be the difference between victory and defeat with the daily puzzle, but once you've got the basics, it's much easier to nail down those Wordle wins. And as there's nothing quite like a small victory to set you up for the rest of the day, here are a few tips to help set you on the right path: A good opening guess should contain a mix of unique consonants and vowels. Narrow down the pool of letters quickly with a tactical second guess. Watch out for letters appearing more than once in the answer. There's no racing against the clock with Wordle so you don't need to rush for the answer. Treating the game like a casual newspaper crossword can be a good tactic; that way, you can come back to it later if you're coming up blank. Stepping away for a while might mean the difference between a win and a line of grey squares. Enjoy a weekend win. The answer to the May 24 (1435) Wordle is SUEDE. Past Wordle answers can give you some excellent ideas for fun starting words that keep your daily puzzle-solving fresh. They are also a good way to eliminate guesses for today's Wordle, as the answer is unlikely to be repeated. Here are some recent Wordle answers: May 23: SHUCK May 22: FOLIO May 21: ALARM May 20: BORNE May 19: PITCH May 18: LIVID May 17: GROWN May 16: FIFTH May 15: EAGER May 14: BONGO Wordle gives you six rows of five boxes each day, and you'll need to work out which secret five-letter word is hiding inside them to keep up your winning streak. You should start with a strong word like ARISE, or any other word that contains a good mix of common consonants and multiple vowels. You'll also want to avoid starting words with repeating letters, as you're wasting the chance to potentially eliminate or confirm an extra letter. Once you hit Enter, you'll see which ones you've got right or wrong. If a box turns ⬛️, it means that letter isn't in the secret word at all. 🟨 means the letter is in the word, but not in that position. 🟩 means you've got the right letter in the right spot. Your second guess should compliment the starting word, using another "good" word to cover any common letters you missed last time while also trying to avoid any letter you now know for a fact isn't present in today's answer. With a bit of luck, you should have some coloured squares to work with and set you on the right path. After that, it's just a case of using what you've learned to narrow your guesses down to the right word. You have six tries in total and can only use real words (so no filling the boxes with EEEEE to see if there's an E). Don't forget letters can repeat too (ex: BOOKS). If you need any further advice feel free to check out our Wordle tips, and if you'd like to find out which words have already been used you can scroll to the relevant section above. Originally, Wordle was dreamed up by software engineer Josh Wardle, as a surprise for his partner who loves word games. From there it spread to his family, and finally got released to the public. The word puzzle game has since inspired tons of games like Wordle, refocusing the daily gimmick around music or math or geography. It wasn't long before Wordle became so popular it was sold to the New York Times for seven figures. Surely it's only a matter of time before we all solely communicate in tricolor boxes.

Forget sit-ups — all you need is 4 moves and 15 minutes to sculpt a strong core and strengthen your hips
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. What if I told you I could help you put your core muscles through the wringer in just 16 minutes? I've put together a four-move dumbbell and bodyweight abs workout that will sculpt a stronger core and hips. You just need one dumbbell and up to 16 minutes to do it, and you can follow along with the video below. Each exercise is beginner-friendly, although you can use your dumbbell to progress each exercise further. The best adjustable dumbbells allow you to quickly switch between loads depending on the exercise, or you can ditch the weights completely and purely focus on your form and activating your core muscles properly. Find the full workout below, plus the benefits and ways to adapt the intensity to your fitness. Work for 45 seconds, then rest for 15, performing each of the four core exercises in order. Repeat for three to four rounds. It's short and sweet, but still seriously effective. Think about your core muscles wrapping around your torso, reaching up to your ribcage and down to your hips and glutes. Each of the core exercises below strengthens many of them, and you don't need to add too much weight to feel the benefits. Side planks are great for strengthening your oblique muscles, which run down your waist and comprise the internal and external layers of muscles. You can place your bottom leg on the floor for more support, or lift both legs for the full expression of the plank variation. Regardless, you'll also feel this one in the shoulder and upper arm of the supporting arm, so make sure your shoulder and elbow are stacked for a strong torso position. Lift your hips high and squeeze your stomach as you hold the position. If you're wondering how to make this exercise more challenging, hold a dumbbell against your top hip or lift your top leg into the air and hold the position. Learn how to do a side plank step-by-step. From a high plank position, press your hips up and back into a downward dog, then tap one hand to the opposite foot and repeat on the other side. Each rep, return to the plank again and repeat. Planks work many muscles, including your shoulders, arms, upper chest, upper back and core. In addition, the downward dog position stretches the hamstrings while your hip flexors stay active throughout. Here's more on how to do plank toe taps. For an extra challenge, add a push-up from the plank position to engage more of your upper body. Dead bugs target your deep core muscles, pelvic floor, abs and hip flexors while supporting your lower back. You could hold light dumbbells in each hand to work your arms harder as you extend them behind you, or focus on using your bodyweight and move slowly, with control. Just remember, while gentle curvature of the spine is normal, you still want to flatten your lower back slightly into the mat below you. To do this, slightly tilt your pelvis toward you, then slide your hands beneath your lower back to see if your back can touch your fingers. Here's how to do dead bugs, and the variations to try. Russian twists use rotation to work a multitude of muscle groups, including the obliques, abs, deeper core muscles (transverse abdominis), hip flexors, lower back, shoulders and to a lesser extent, your lats. Hold a weight to your chest or focus on using your bodyweight if you're a beginner to the exercise. You can place both feet on the floor or lift them into the air, but either way, try to slightly lean back and keep your back straight while you twist. The movement should be generated from your torso, not your arms, so your chest should move in the direction of your arms. Here's how to do Russian twists with proper form. Exercises that focus primarily on the abs, like sit-ups, don't necessarily strengthen the core muscles responsible for posture, stabilization and support. So while building strong abs is no bad thing, you're better off hitting multiple muscle groups to strengthen your core as a whole. I don't program the exercises above enough with clients, but they're well worth the time you put into them. Try to add a bit of variety to your ab workouts by thinking about all the muscles of your core (I've got more ideas for you at the bottom of this page). What's more, this routine only takes up to 16 minutes, so you can roll out your mat and do it between meetings or to kickstart your day.
