Today's Wordle won't last forever. Whether you finished the puzzle (maybe while being judged by WordleBot) or want to add more variety to your word-game repertoire, there are a bunch of games that can satisfy those puzzle cravings. You've likely already learned some tips, tricks and lessons from the popular word game, so why not apply them to other puzzles, too? After all, Wordle isn't the only game in town.  Wordle asks players to figure out a five-letter word in six or fewer guesses. After each guess, the game shows gray blocks for wrong letters, yellow blocks for right letters in the wrong spot and green blocks for right letters in the correct spot. It's addictive, but after you solve the daily puzzle or use up all your guesses, you have to wait until the next day to play again (unless you check out Wordle Archive). Here are puzzle games to play Multiple word Wordle spinoffs: Quordle, Octordle, Dordle and Sedecordle Are you up for a challenge? If you love W...

The third ‘Beasts’ film arrived to little fanfare this weekend, and with good reason. Now, after two lackluster offerings in a row, Warner Bros. has a decision to make about the fate of the franchise. The theater where I saw Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore had a problem. Throughout all of the pre-film rigmarole—commercials and trivia, some previews and announcements—the screen didn’t work. All nine of us present in the audience on opening night could hear the advertisements, but not see them. By the start of the feature presentation, the visuals had flickered on, so my viewing experience for the third Beasts film was not compromised. But I’m not sure how much I would have missed had the screen remained dark. That might seem an overly harsh assessment of a movie that eclipses its predecessor in quality—though given the disorienting mess that was 2018’s Crimes of Grindelwald, that’s not a high bar to clear. But the Beasts prequel series is now more than halfway over, and it...

No, I try not to. You know, great performances make a big impact on my psyche, so I have to try to not think about them. Otherwise I’ll just start imitating other actors that I love. And then I’ll be doing a John Malkovich impersonation in the middle of a movie, and that’s probably not a great idea. I was inspired by Vincent D’onofrio’s Fisk, because I know Vincent, and I studied his performance because it was so original, and so strange. Vincent is always so creative in how he creates characters, and it let me know that Marvel was game to try anything if I could come up with something smart and good enough for them. I enjoyed studying villains, but there wasn’t any one specifically. I like trying to copy real people. Oscar’s character is a patient, so I imagined what would his doctor be like. And as you study Dissociative Identity Disorder, you see how much it speaks in dreams. And I start thinking about "Oh yeah, Carl Jung was always studying dreams, and what the power of symb...

Jalopnik, we love a good car movie. Whether it’s the ridiculousness of the Fast & Furious franchise or a look back through the history books with a documentary such as Senna, we’re always down for a good film night. But, we’re running out of flicks to watch, so want to dream up some new movies. So, today we’re talking about the stories that would make for a great car film. And, we want your help in coming up with a list of great pitches to take to the studios. It could be a moment in history that would make for a great documentary, or maybe you heard about a notorious bank robber that’s crying out to be played by Jason Statham in a car chase-filled flick. Whatever the story, we want to hear your suggestions for moments in automotive history that would make for a great movie. And, bonus points if you let us know who you think would play the main character. Tales like the whole rise and fall of DeLorean would make for a great watch. Or with Elon Musk al...

The desktop landing of Core Web Vitals (CWVs) shouldn’t be a surprise. Two years on from Google’s Page Experience announcement, publishers have had plenty of notice about the new metrics. Particularly as CWVs are already factors for search rankings on mobile. Nevertheless, with the desktop rollout now complete, it’s likely many publishers are hurrying to get their sites in order. But why the last-minute rush? Probably because publishers have, rightly, been focused on mobile optimization in recent months, fearing loss of traffic and revenue after the mobile rollout in 2021. But with desktop accounting for just under half of global web traffic, failing to cater for this considerable portion of users could leave site owners at risk of losing audience favor and revenue, as well as their search ranking. For those who feel underprepared, it’s critical to hit the accelerator on Core Web Vitals optimization – ensuring compliance with first input delay (FID), largest contentful paint (LCP), and...

SuperFly actor Kaalan KR Walker has been convicted of raping four women and three teenage girls he met on social media. On Monday, a jury in Van Nuys, Calif., found Walker, 27, guilty of three counts of forcible rape, one count of assault to commit oral copulation, two counts of statutory rape and two counts of rape by intoxication, USA Today, Rolling Stone and NBC Los Angeles report. The jury found Walker not guilty of one count of digital penetration and two counts of forcible rape. You're going to see a dark side of him, Deputy District Attorney Yasmin Fardghassemi said in her opening statement in March, City News Service and NBC Los Angeles report. Starting in 2013, Walker used Instagram and Twitter to contact women — including aspiring models — on social media, promising them opportunities for professional work and to meet celebrities, prosecutors said, Rolling Stone reports.

If you're a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe—if you've stuck around all the way to this point—it's fair to assume one thing: you probably want more. After The Infinity Saga—the first 22 movies in the franchise—came to a conclusion in Avengers: Endgame, the next era of Marvel storytelling took a slight delay after the release of Spider-Man: Far From Home because of the whole Covid-19 thing. But Marvel Studios got things back on track with several films and Disney+ series releasing in 2021, and 2022 has kept the momentum going. After last year saw the release of highly-acclaimed series like WandaVision, Loki, and Hawkeye, and massive blockbuster movies like Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Spider-Man: No Way Home, 2022 is continuing to keep the pace up with the release of shows like Moon Knight, and movies like Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. And as always with Marvel Studios, that's basically just the beginning. The current era of the Marvel...

Covid-19 pandemic struck, workplaces around the world were forced to adapt to a life of social distancing. The best and only answer for many businesses was to adopt remote work models. As people got used to remote work, they started to see the many benefits it has to offer. Here, eight members of Forbes Human Resources Council discuss how their formerly on-site companies are currently benefiting from the ability to fill new roles with global, remote talent. 1. Broadening Perspectives And Opportunities If you have five major hubs across the U.S. and some of the best tech talent happens to be in Nashville and Austin, but there are no hubs there, the only option is remote work. For any organization, remote working affords the opportunity to get broader perspectives and invite others in who would not have formerly had an opportunity to work for you. 2. Scaling Faster With A Distributed Model It would have been nearly impossible to scale as quickly as we have (200 to 1,350 in two years) had...

The film’s action is intense and the stakes incredibly high. While the director’s movies from the last decade haven't necessarily been memorable or often good, Ambulance is a return to form. Adapted from the 2005 Danish film of the same name, and from a screenplay by Chris Fedak, it’s one of the most fun Bay movies in a long time, with a great cast that elevates the somewhat thin plot that results in an engaging actioner. Will Sharp (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) is a U.S. Marine veteran who is struggling to find work. He’s doubly stressed because his wife Amy (Moses Ingram) needs an experimental surgery that their insurance refuses to pay for. Desperate, Will goes to his brother Danny (Jake Gyllenhaal) for a loan. An expert bank robber, Danny convinces Will to help him pull a bank heist that would leave them with $32 million. Will agrees and things seem to be going smoothly enough when a rookie cop, Zach (Jackson White), gets involved unknowingly, leading Danny and...

The school was hiring an independent firm to investigate the allegations. Wiscombe followed up by posting a public apology on his Instagram account. I’m aware that I often focus too much on design outcomes and not enough on the environment and community that makes it all possible, he wrote. I also tend to be hard on myself and I let that hardness extend to others, which is unfair. A spokesperson for SCI-Arc tells The Times that the school will appoint new acting undergraduate co-chairs in coordination with faculty representatives and the student union and that acting history and theory coordinators have been selected. We’ve also created a working group who will reconsider how internships are structured and facilitated at SCI-Arc, said the representative in an emailed statement, as well as examine scholarship policies to ensure fair access to funding and professional opportunities. Wiscombe and Trotter, in the meantime, will remain on administrative leave until the investig...

Denzel Washington told Will Smith moments after Smith strode onstage at the 94th Oscars and slapped Chris Rock across the face - that the devil comes for you at your highest moment, then motion picture academy officials must be wondering what Satan does when you’ve hit rock bottom. The academy hoped Sunday’s Oscars would be a morale-boosting celebration of movies for a troubled film industry. Instead, the show has done further damage to the already battered image of the nearly century-old organization and opened up a host of thorny new problems for its already divided leadership. The academy’s board, which includes such Hollywood notables as Steven Spielberg, Ava DuVernay and Laura Dern, will be meeting Wednesday night to sift through the rubble. Smith’s violent outburst engulfed the evening in controversy, overshadowing everything else, leading academy leaders to already call one emergency meeting the next day to review the incident amid members’ calls to discipline the actor, who won...
