Okay, spoilers below! The answer is coming! . . . Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here. SPITE was a spiteful opening guess. 486 words remained. No yellow, no green. DOWRY wed me to one of each colored box, but a dozen words still hounded me. From here I considered words like HOUND, but went with COULD instead. Just two options were left at this point: NOMAD or GONAD. Lucky for me, NOMAD was the Wordle!

Our August totals widen to: Erik: 2 points Wordle Bot: 7 points The word nomad comes from the Latin nomas, borrowed from Ancient Greek νομάς (nomás), meaning 'roaming' or 'wandering.' This, in turn, comes from νομός (nomós), 'pasture' or 'grazing land,' derived from νέμειν (némein), 'to pasture' or 'to graze.' Originally, it referred specifically to pastoral peoples who moved to find fresh grazing for their animals.

Amazon's Choice 15.6″ Portable Monitor Is Practically Free at Nearly 50% Off, Limited Stock Available
If you have ever tried juggling a video call, a spreadsheet, and a music playlist on one laptop screen, you know the digital elbow‑room gets tight fast. A second monitor instantly calms that chaos, yet hauling a bulky desktop display from place to place is nobody's idea of fun. The WGK Portable Monitor 15.6‑inch offers the best of both worlds: a roomy full‑HD screen that slips into a backpack and sets up before your coffee order is ready. Whether you are tweaking slides at a café, gaming in the guest room, or streaming movies on a family road trip, it gives your eyes a welcome break from cramped windows. Head over to Amazon to get the WGK Portable Monitor 15.6‑inch for just $50, down from its usual price of $84. That's a discount of $34 and 41% off. See at Amazon Getting started hardly takes a thought. One included USB‑C cable handles both power and picture for most current laptops, tablets, and even a handful of phones. If you own older gear, a short HDMI lead steps in, and suddenly your console or camera sits on a wider stage. The screen wakes as soon as it senses a signal, then heads back to sleep when you pull the plug, so setup feels natural even for people who shy away from tech. Colors pop nicely on the 15.6‑inch panel, making family photos and Netflix binges look clean and bright. A matte finish cuts glare from overhead lights, and thin bezels around the display help you focus on the show instead of plastic borders. There are small built-in twin speakers that get the job done for light listening, but the monitor also has a headphone jack if you want headphones. Portability is where this monitor really shines. Fold the built‑in kickstand flat, slide on the magnetic cover, and the entire package becomes about as thick as a notepad. It weighs roughly the same as that hardcover novel you keep meaning to finish, so you will not dread tossing it in a tote bag. Find a table, flip the stand open, and you have room to park a second browser window or keep a chat thread visible during game night. The stand even props the screen upright in portrait mode, perfect for scrolling long documents or coding. If screen space is the one thing your laptop always seems to lack, this little display offers an easy fix. The WGK Portable Monitor 15.6‑inch is still only $50 at Amazon, well below the usual $84 sticker price. See at Amazon

What is a digital nomad visa, and how do I get one? The rise of ‘workcations' around the world
It has never been easier to clock in to your job from anywhere, with working from home normalised since the pandemic and meetings migrating from the office to Zoom calls. The dawn of the digital work has meant you can set up your workspace in any location, even if that means on the other side of the world. Digital nomad visas allow people to do just that, giving workers a chance to do their job on their laptops from another country and explore communities, cultural landmarks and natural landscapes while they're at it. In 2020, Covid meant that it wasn't possible to travel the world, tick off bucket-list mountain peaks, relax on a remote beach or meet new people in buzzing cities. But the world 2025 looks very different, with ample opportunity to explore. After the UK left the European Union in 2020, the right to work and live in other European countries was swept away. While a deal is being processed for young workers to gain back this benefit, for others who are over 30 or have their sights set a bit further afield, digital nomad visas unlock the chance to stay in a country longer than a tourist, while still earning money. We've rounded up what we know about digital nomad visas and which countries offer the best ones. What is a digital nomad visa? A digital nomad visa is a temporary permit that allows people who work remotely to move to a different country to live and work. Digital nomads refer to people who do not have a requirement to work from an office or a certain place, meaning they are free to work wherever they want to in the world. The type of work usually requires people to have a job that centres around technology, using a laptop and phone to keep in contact with colleagues or clients. Some countries allow those working for a foreign employer and people who are self-employed or manage their own business to benefit from this visa, even including students who want to work remotely for a year. The digital nomad visa often has a longer validity than a tourist visa, meaning the holder can usually stay for months or even years in certain areas. The visas remain valid from as little as six months, such as in Japan, up to five years, like in Thailand. However, these visas are not typically permanent, meaning that once the permit runs out, remote workers have to leave the country or renew it to stay. What are the requirements for a digital nomad visa? Requirements vary from country to country, but generally the person has to be over 18, earn a certain monthly income, and have a job they can do from anywhere. Some countries only allow higher earners to apply for their visa, such as South Korea, where a minimum income of around £54k is required. Countries like Malaysia open up their visas at less than half of this at £25k. Health insurance and a clean criminal record are also often requirements during the visa application. The visa holders cannot already be employed by a company in the host country, or provide goods and services to businesses there. Usually, you have to be self-employed or work for a foreign employer. Some countries will also only allow people from certain nationalities to apply for their digital nomad visa. Why has there been a rise in digital nomad visas? While the concept is not new, more countries, such as the Philippines and New Zealand, have recently announced they will be introducing digital nomad visas. One of the main motivations is to boost tourism by allowing people to stay longer in the country, promoting slower travel and exploring areas in depth. Relaxing the limits on duration of stay means more money will be spent and tourism-based jobs are more secure, especially in shoulder seasons. The introduction of the visa is also a representation of how countries are adapting to fit the modern digital age. As jobs are increasingly becoming digitised and more people work from home since the pandemic, employees have more flexibility than ever before to travel the world. The demand for digital nomad visas among workers has risen due to the desire to travel without having to rely on annual leave to visit different countries. Alongside exploring new places, immersing in nature or visiting bustling cities, the low cost of living in certain countries is also attractive for digital nomads, allowing their income to become more fulfilling while keeping daily costs low. Many countries also allow partners or children to be added to applications, making the opportunity to live in another country as a family more accessible. Tax exemptions and breaks are also important driving points. For example, in Spain digital nomads pay a flat rate of tax at 24 per cent, no matter their salary (up to €600,000). Over in New Zealand, authorities said that if the person's income is taxed elsewhere, they will be exempt from tax so long as they do not spend more than 92 days in the country within 12 months. The days do not need to be consecutive. Which countries offer digital nomad visas? There are well over 50 countries that offer digital nomad visas to UK citizens, so it all depends on whether you are seeking a retreat tucked away on a remote mountain or a temporary home in a bustling city. A report by Global Citizen Solutions, a boutique investment migration firm, found that 63 per cent of digital nomads come from the 'Global North', which encompasses countries such as the UK, USA, Canada, Germany and the Netherlands. The firm analysed 65 different visas, including digital nomad visas and other long-term visas that allow people to work remotely in the country. It found that Spain's digital nomad visa ranked the best, due to the country's high quality of life, internet speed and benefits such as a year-long duration and ability to renew. Estonia, Romania, Malta, Portugal, Canada and Hungary also appeared in the top 10 for their digital nomad visas, while the Netherlands, Norway and France secured spots for visas that make it easy to work in the country. Other countries that offer digital nomad visas include a freelance-only one in Germany, Italy, Greece, Taiwan, Latvia, Malaysia, Japan, the UAE (specifically Dubai and Abu Dhabi), South Korea, New Zealand and Thailand, to name just a few. The Global Citizen Solutions report found that European countries had some of the best digital nomad visas. Meanwhile, the Caribbean had some of the greatest income requirements and visa costs, reaching as high as £1,477.

Work From Home Or Anywhere: Best Remote Jobs For Digital Nomads, According To FlexJobs
A new FlexJobs report highlights the best remote jobs for digital nomads in 2025—ideal for anyone who wants to work from anywhere, like this remote worker with a view. getty Dreaming of a remote job or a work-from-home job that allows you to travel the world? You're not alone—many people are searching for the best remote companies to work for that offer this kind of flexibility. A recent Harris Poll report shows that 40% of Americans have considered moving abroad in the next two years, with 14% seriously considering it. And a FlexJobs Work-From-Anywhere Survey found that 75% of professionals would take advantage of a work-from-anywhere policy if their employer offered one. In response to the growing demand, FlexJobs has released its new 2025 Digital Nomad Guide, which outlines the 10 top companies, 10 best career categories and 10 most in-demand job titles for work-from-anywhere jobs. Unlike FlexJobs' annual list of remote-friendly companies (which I cover every January), this new report focuses specifically on data from the first half of 2025 and zeroes in on the most in-demand jobs for digital nomads. FlexJobs defines a 'digital nomad' as someone who can work remotely from various locations around the world and is free of ties to a specific city, state or country—which means you could be logging on from a seaside café in Lisbon, globetrotting around Asia with your laptop in tow or just working from your kitchen table. 'This new list highlights the top companies and career categories for work-from-anywhere jobs since the start of 2025, offering a more up-to-date snapshot of today's work-from-anywhere landscape as we head into the second half of the year,' Keith Spencer, career expert at FlexJobs told me in an interview. 'It also breaks down the 10 most in-demand, work-from-anywhere job titles, which is an especially useful reference for anyone pursuing a digital nomad lifestyle, since high-demand roles tend to offer more opportunities.' FlexJobs has published this list in the past, but this year marks a notable shift. 'Only one company returned from last year, three new career categories were added and eight of the top 10 in-demand job titles were new,' says Spencer. 'These shifts reflect how the remote job market is being shaped by shifting economic conditions, policy uncertainties and evolving worker preferences.' According to Spencer, there's a growing demand for a life that can be lived anywhere. 'Interest in digital nomad jobs continues to grow as working professionals increasingly prioritize flexibility and freedom,' says Spencer. 'Work-from-anywhere roles offer the highest level of location independence, making them especially appealing to those looking to travel or relocate.' Another perk: 'A digital nomad lifestyle enables professionals to explore new places without being tied to a single location, and thanks to advancements in remote technology, staying connected and productive from anywhere is more feasible than ever,' says Spencer. In this year's report, Wikimedia Foundation was named the top remote-friendly company. 'The Wikimedia Foundation earned the top spot this year due to its strong offering of work-from-anywhere positions across a variety of roles,' says Spencer. 'While they didn't appear on last year's list, their current job postings reflect a clear commitment to location-independent work. As a nonprofit that supports global knowledge projects, their remote-friendly approach aligns with both their mission and their distributed workforce.' Coming in second on the list of top companies is Xapo Bank—a financial company that provides services related to Bitcoin—followed by Omniscient Digital, a company on a mission to help e-commerce and software businesses transform content marketing into a growth channel. In the new 2025 Digital Nomad Guide, FlexJobs also ranks the 10 most in-demand job titles for digital nomads this year. According to FlexJobs, the top job title for work-from-anywhere roles is customer success manager, a role that involves liaising with clients, ensuring satisfaction with technology solutions and helping monitor technology adoption. This is followed by executive assistant and data scientist. The 2025 Digital Nomad Guide also ranks the top 10 industries for digital nomads, with (no surprise) computer & IT coming out on top. Project management and marketing round out the top three. Of course, landing one of these dream roles isn't just about packing a laptop and booking a flight. 'The allure of working from anywhere in the world is powerful, but this kind of career shift needs very careful consideration and planning,' says Spencer. 'It's not just about landing a fully remote career, but also making sure you're aligned with and prepared to take on the challenges that often come with living a digital nomad lifestyle.' Read on for FlexJobs' top 10 lists of work-from-anywhere jobs, the most in-demand job title for digital nomads this year and the best careers for digital nomads. From Florence to wherever you are: FlexJobs' 2025 Digital Nomad Guide explores remote jobs that let you live and work from anywhere. getty This list is ranked by the volume of listings posted from January 1 to May 31, 2025.
