I just finished reading a fascinating piece by Tyler Glaiel, a programmer and game designer who tried to figure out the best possible starting word. Apparently we should all be kicking off Wordle with the word "roate." Honestly, read this whole article, it's great.

Makia Green stands outside her Washington home on June 12, 2023. As a Black student who was raised by a single mother, Green believes she benefited from a program that gave preference to students of color from economically disadvantaged backgrounds when she was admitted over a decade ago to the University of Rochester. As a borrower who still owes just over $20,000 on her undergraduate student loans, she has been counting on President Joe Biden's promised debt relief to wipe nearly all that away. Now, both affirmative action and the student loan cancellation plan - policies that disproportionately help Black students - could soon be dismantled by the U.S. Supreme Court. (AP Photo/Kevin Wolf)

"It is important to me that, as Wordle grows, it continues to provide a great experience to everyone," Wardle said. "Given this, I am incredibly pleased to announce that I've reached an agreement with The New York Times for them to take over running Wordle going forward."

A new tutoring corps in Chicago has served about 3% of students, officials said.

The figure was less than 1% in three districts: Georgia´s Gwinnett County, Florida´s Miami-Dade County, and Philadelphia, where the district reported only about 800 students were tutored. In those three systems alone, there were more than 600,000 students who spent no time in a district tutoring program this fall.

The Indianapolis school district last year launched two tutoring programs that connect students with certified teachers over video. One is available to all students after school, while the other is offered during the day at certain low-performing schools.

Avoid reusing grays: There's a keyboard at the bottom of the Wordle board that shows what letters are green, yellow and gray. Avoid reusing letters that have come up gray. Yes, this sounds obvious. But it can take time and effort to think of five-letter words that don't use letters you've already tried. That effort will pay off.

Letters can appear twice: This complicates matters, especially when you're running out of letters to try on word four or five. But letters often recur, as with words like chill, sissy and ferry having been the correct answers in the past. 

But aged only seven-years-old, her Jewish family fled the then Soviet Union state and travelled to the US, with Mila citing antisemitism as one of the reasons they left. Pictured, Mila with her mother and brother as a child in the US

Protests broke out at the time after the Ukrainian Justice Ministry ruled that using the term to describe a Jewish person was legal, turning back a petition demanding that the offensive word be banned from the public sphere.

So it's a word game? Big deal... Yeah, it's just a word game. But it's super popular: Over 300,000 people play it daily, according to The New York Times. That popularity may sound perplexing, but there are a few tiny details that have resulted in everyone going absolutely bonkers for it.

Filtered water starts out as plain tap water. You may already have filtered water in your home by way of a whole-house filtration system, a faucet filter or a water filtration pitcher (you can even get a filtered water bottle). Most filtered water passes through some combination of carbon and micron filters, which help to remove chemicals such as chlorine (commonly added to municipal tap water as a disinfectant) and pesticides, and metals like copper or lead. Filters can also eliminate foul odors and tastes.

The actress embraced America and in 2014, when speaking to the Star-Ledger, she even suggested she no longer identified with Ukraine after being asked about nation's 2014 conflict, according to the Russian-backed separatist forces took over parts of southeastern Ukraine's Donbas region during that year, and Russia annexed Crimea.

Tips and tricks If you're a word game purist, you may want to avoid the following tips and rely entirely on your own instincts. For everyone else who's sick of seeing gray boxes, here are some tips that you may find helpful.

The Kyiv city council warned residents of the city's Obolon district, near Gostomel, to stay indoors because of 'the approach of active hostilities' after gunfire was heard in the suburb, as well as the districts of Vorzel, Bucha and Irpen, this morning as Putin's men advanced from Chernobyl, less than 60 miles outside the capital.

Who made Wordle? Wordle is the work of software engineer Josh Wardle, who originally created the game for his partner, a fan of word games, and tells the BBC it will never become laden with ads. Extremely online people may remember Wardle as the creator of Place, an utterly wild collaborative art project/social experiment that sent the internet into a tizzy in April 2017.

'One of my friends who grew up in Russia, she was in second grade. She came home one day crying. Her mother asked why and she said on the back of her seat there was a swastika. This is a country that obviously does not want you.'

Ukrainian servicemen try to help people who have been wounded in Irpin - as an increasingly delusional Putin is insisting that Russia is not bombing Ukrainian cities, despite mounting fears that 100 people are buried under rubble after an apartment block near Kyiv was struck and after a cluster bomb attack on the city of Chernihiv killed 49 earlier this week. A mother and two children were killed and the father was wounded by a mortar shell as hundreds of civilians sought safety

What is Wordle? Wordle is a daily word game you can find online here. It's fun, simple and, like a crossword, can only be played once a day. Every 24 hours there's a new word of the day, and it's up to you to figure out what it is. The site itself does a fantastic job of explaining the rules:

'Based on Bryant's immediate and surprised tone following the second third party's reply, EOCR finds it more likely than not that it was at that moment Bryant first learned that [Bettinger] made a statement about protestors making speed bumps,' the report said. 

EOCR found that three of the five accusations could not be corroborated and Bryant herself later admitted she may have misheard the 'speed bumps' claim she attributed to Bettinger, which saw her reputation destroyed.

Bryant also filed a complaint with the school's Office for Equal Opportunity and Civil Rights (EOCR), where the student activist claimed Bettinger had made the statement five times and had discriminated against Bryant on the basis of race. 

She insists she told a trucker blocking the road she was glad he was there to avoid a repeat of the 2017 Unite the Right rally, when a white supremacist struck and killed anti-racism protester Heather Heyer. But Bryant claimed Bettinger had suggested she wished to harm George Floyd protesters 

"These are intergenerational debts," says Alpha Taylor, a staff attorney at the National Consumer Law Center in Washington, D.C., focused on student loans.

"The parents have their own student loans, so they have their own debt that they´re carrying. And on top of that, they´re carrying their children´s debt, and the children are also in debt."

Earlier on Thursday, Social Services Minister Anne Ruston announced the government would provide an additional $9million to 83 emergency and food relief services supporting flood victims in northern NSW and Queensland.

Parents, who can borrow up to the total cost of attendance per child (minus other federal aid) with PLUS loans, use the loans to fill funding gaps after their student hits the borrowing limit of no more than $7,500 per year from the government.

Scott Morrison told Weekend Today the idea his cabinet has been too slow to respond to emergencies was nothing more than a 'Labor narrative' - despite criticisms being levelled by members within the Coalition.

Wordle gives players six chances to guess a randomly selected five-letter word. As shown above, if you have the right letter in the right spot, it shows up green. A correct letter in the wrong spot shows up yellow. A letter that isn't in the word in any spot shows up gray.

The Colorado-based adventurer, who has worked with NASA in the past and currently teaches climate change at the University of Colorado Boulder, says traveling to non-tourist spots requires lots of preparation and having a satellite communication device is another key way of keeping safe. 

But life was so grim there that within weeks the mother-of-four and so-called ‘First Lady of ISIS' had fled to Turkey, eventually settling in the US where she abandoned radical Islam and embarked on a new life preaching the dangers of extremism.

She saw a man have his leg blown off, an elderly couple with faces shredded by flying glass, people queuing for water wiped out before her eyes - and endured 19 nights cowering with other families in their local school before she managed to flee.

'Until we deal with the systemic issues of gun violence in this country - how easily young people with mental illness can access guns in this country, I'm afraid that this will not be the last summer that we are having this conversation,'  Bottoms told  .

Bottoms, who served as mayor of Atlanta from 2018 to 2022, previously blamed the 50 percent increase in homicides in 2021 on lax gun laws, teenagers having too much free time on their hands and the state lifting its COVID-19.

It said this is likely to support a Russian attempt to encircle the capital, and could also be an attempt by Russia to reduce its vulnerability to Ukrainian counter attacks, which have taken a significant toll on Russian forces.

The bulk of Russian ground forces are now around 15 miles from the centre but elements of the large column have dispersed in a bid to encircle the city, after pummelling the northwest suburbs including Irpin and Bucha.

Keisha Lance Bottoms says a stray bullet nearly hit her nephew after it penetrated his bedroom wall and landed beside his bed in Atlanta - just years after another nephew was tragically shot and killed.

It comes as Ukrainian President Vlodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of shooting children and said Vladimir Putin's forces will  only take Kyiv if they 'raze the city to the ground', with Kremlin troops inching closer to the capital and conflict raging nearby today, endangering attempted evacuations.

She was hungry but she could not forget the people left behind in the city that has come to symbolise the barbarity of Russia's assault on Ukraine, the families still trapped in basements and cellars under the horror of constant bombardment.

This sports drama from 2019 marked the second occasion director Steven Soderbergh used an iPhone to shoot a feature film (the first was 2018's Unsane). High Flying Bird tells the story of a sports agent facing the ax unless he pulls off a company-saving plan in 72 hours. Capturing the high tensions of professional sports through a unique shooting style, High Flying Bird is a fascinating piece put together with expert direction, editing and performances.

"Over the summer, we will begin the planning process for further ways to modernize the facility and substantially enhance the fan and student-athlete experience. I think folks are really going to be excited about all that we have in store."

'When you're talking about the investments of hundreds of millions of dollars - and indeed billions now - then people would expect this to go through the proper assessment of the proposals which we did yesterday,' Mr Morrison told reporters in Perth.

'We're going to see a budget that continues to increase taxes, and continues to spend taxpayer moneys, and continues to have this 15th consecutive month of inflation persist as a result of that,' Arrington said.  

'We are so overwhelmed and humbled by the amount of love, support and kindness we have received, and thanks to the generosity of you all, our journey to bring Alex home is now underway,' Ms Shorey-Kitson wrote.

Earlier on Thursday, Social Services Minister Anne Ruston announced the government would provide an additional $9million to 83 emergency and food relief services supporting flood victims in northern NSW and Queensland.

In announcing her departure from politics, Ms Cusack said: 'The idea that being a flood victim in a National Party-held seat makes you more worthy than a flood victim who is in the Richmond electorate...

'And normally in natural disasters there's a lot of bipartisanship, people work together, but unfortunately over the last three-and-a-half years they've tried to use it to have a crack at me on every occasion.'   

Phillip Swagel, director of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, issued guidance on Monday saying that projected deficits would need to be cut by $5 trillion during the next decade to match the 50-year historical average.

'We have attempted three flights over the past few weeks, each one of them cancelled as Alex's condition deteriorated further just prior to depature as the poison worked through his body causing further complications,' they wrote in an update.

Zelensky, who claimed 1,300 Ukrainian troops have been killed so far and 500 Russians surrendered yesterday, added: 'If they decide to carpet bomb (Kyiv), and simply erase the history of this region, the history of the Kyivan Rus, the history of Europe, and destroy all of us, then they will enter Kyiv.

If that's their goal, let them come in, but they will have to live on this land by themselves.'

 So instead, congressional Republicans this week will highlight the tax increases that Biden will outline in his budget proposal, betting that their arguments will sway voters at a time when inflation continues to hit consumers' pockets.

A convoy loaded with 90 tonnes of food and medicine left the town of Zaporizhzhia for Mariupol on Saturday, according to local officials, with hopes that it will be able to evacuate civilians on the way back.

'While people in northern NSW aren't able to work, are still clearing out their homes and businesses, the extra two $1000 payments we're rolling out to eligible families and individuals will support our communities as they start to rebuild their lives,' she said.

Scott Morrison told Weekend Today the idea his cabinet has been too slow to respond to emergencies was nothing more than a 'Labor narrative' - despite criticisms being levelled by members within the Coalition.

Meanwhile in besieged Mariupol, which has endured two weeks without food, power or water amid a brutal blockade, is facing continuing shelling as a mosque housing 80 civilians including children was targeted today, and barrages have thwarted attempts to bring supplies to the strategic port city. 

Engineering reports found that thermal movement - the daily expansion and contraction of materials that all buildings undergo - as well as misalignment and tight precast joints from the original construction are the primary contributors to chipping concrete.

Netflix

One of the more successful Stephen King adaptations, this horror drama based on the novella 1922 is a slow-burn with a mesmerizing performance at its core. Thomas Jane, who you'll also know from Boogie Nights and 2004's The Punisher, gives one of his career best performances as the ever proud Wilfred James, a farmer who makes the totally wise decision to murder his wife with the help of their teenage son. The consequences are harrowing on multiple levels (if you don't like rats, you really won't like them after this).

Lee played on some of Republican voters' biggest gripes in pop culture currently by comparing the deal to raise the debt ceiling to companies wading into the waters or promoting transgender policies - like Bud Light using trans social media star Dylan Mulvaney to promote their brew and Target for unveiling a line of 'tuck-friendly'  swimwear for Pride Month.

Protesters argued that the mandate is unnecessary because of the low risk of infection for those under five, and that the rule is 'damaging' to the emotional and social development of young children. Along with a vaccine mandate for municipal employees, the under-fives rule is among the only Covid restrictions NYC Mayor Eric Adams didn't lift last week.

Protests broke out at the time after the Ukrainian Justice Ministry ruled that using the term to describe a Jewish person was legal, turning back a petition demanding that the offensive word be banned from the public sphere.

They deserve exactly what every single other person above the age of five in this city and every single other person in this state is getting today. Join me in demanding that Mayor Adams unmask our toddlers,' she finished to the sound of the crowd chanting 'unmask our toddlers!'

Monday's rally was just one of several outpourings of public frustration after New York Mayor Eric Adams confirmed last Wednesday that the United States' most populous city would remove mandates requiring masks for public school children aged five and over and proof of vaccination to dine out or enter entertainment venues. 

'After the Holocaust, in Russia you were not allowed to be religious. So my parents raised me to know I was Jewish. You know who you are inside. When I was in school you would still see anti-Semitic signs.

The House bill passed Wednesday limits National Security spending in fiscal year 2024 to $886 billion - in line with President Biden's budget request - and caps it at $895 billion in 2025, a one percent increase.

Breaking her silence: Mila - who was born in Chernivtsi, Ukraine - appeared alongside Ashton in a video shared to his Instagram account, where she spoke publicly about the Russian invasion of her native country for the first time

The bill also expands work requirements for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) - even though the changes are a pared-down version of what conservatives really want.

The 'conservative alternative' would increase the debt ceiling by only $500 billion and kick the can down the road on some other provisions by requiring a return to the negotiating table in a few months to work out the spending reforms.
