Connections is a New York Times word game that’s all about finding the “common threads between words.” How to solve the puzzle.

Connections is the latest New York Times word game that’s captured the public’s attention. The game is all about finding the “common threads between words.” And just like Wordle, Connections resets after midnight and each new set of words gets trickier and trickier—so we’ve served up some hints and tips to get you over the hurdle.

If you just want to be told today’s puzzle, you can jump to the end of this article for July 31’s Connections solution. But if you’d rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.

What is Connections?

The NYT‘s latest daily word game has become a social media hit. The Times credits associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu with helping to create the new word game and bringing it to the publications’ Games section. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there’s only one correct answer. If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake—players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.

‘Star Wars Outlaws’ preview: Fine but forgettable

Mashable spent four hours previewing ‘Star Wars Outlaws,’ and found it to be a fairly standard video game in a Star Wars skin.

Previewing a video game prior to its release is a bit like dipping your fingers in cake batter. You can get a fair idea of the flavour, the ingredients, and what it’s aiming to be, but any impressions come with the caveat that it still hasn’t been baked.

Star Wars Outlaws is like a cake mix in a box. There’s nothing inherently wrong with this. The beauty of a box mix is that it’s specifically designed to deliver enjoyable, commercially safe results without demanding much effort on your part. However, while pleasant enough, such confections are rarely memorable beyond the point of consumption.

If all you want is to turn your brain off and enjoy some fairly generic gameplay with a Star Wars skin, Star Wars Outlaws may have you covered. But if you were hoping for something richer with a bit more heart, you’ll have a better time if you readjust your expectations now.

Sneaking through Star Wars Outlaws

Developed by Ubisoft Studio Massive Entertainment, Star Wars Outlaws follows Kay Vess, a space scoundrel whose creation was clearly inspired by her more famous predecessor Han Solo. Left with a bounty on her head after a job gone wrong, Kay assembles a team to pull off a massive heist in hopes of paying off the syndicate of space criminals pursuing her.

Mashable didn’t get quite that far in the four hours we spent previewing Star Wars Outlaws, which is set between Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Instead, we explored the savannah moon Toshara and snuck around the snowy planet of Kijimi largely solo — barring Kay’s furry, axolotl-like, alien pet Nix (and yes, you can pet the alien).

Stealth features significantly in Star Wars Outlaws‘ gameplay, befitting Kay’s occupation as a space thief. While my blaster was certainly required at times, I preferred and was largely encouraged to avoid battles where possible. Instead, I crouched behind boxes and crept outside of sight lines to pilfer equipment or information, accessing encrypted files via a Wordle-like symbol deduction minigame.

Stealth features significantly in ‘Star Wars Outlaws’ gameplay, befitting Kay’s occupation as a space thief.

Nix was invaluable to these criminal escapades, and a clear highlight of Star Wars Outlaws‘ gameplay. Capable of attacking or distracting enemies, stealing items, and even activating panels, Kay’s merqaal companion makes it much easier to sneak through areas undetected. I enjoyed sending Nix to latch onto peoples’ faces so I could knock them out without raising the alarm. He also seemed to have fair self-preservation instincts, so I never had to worry about his safety in a firefight.

My sneaky efforts were further assisted by my enemies’ frequently questionable peripheral vision, situational awareness, and ability to detect downed colleagues. This made covertly taking down enemies much easier than it could have been, making me feel relatively accomplished, though I got the impression that I wasn’t exactly contending with the brightest stars in the galaxy.

I appreciated that Star Wars Outlaws sometimes offers multiple avenues through which you can achieve your set objective. For example, I could try to rustle up enough credits to pay for access to a restricted area, or simply find a way to sneak in. I initially went for the former, but the gambling mini-game cut me off after I’d only bet on a few space horse races, leaving me without enough for the buy-in on space cards.

Fortunately, I ended up finding a handy dandy Kay-sized air vent leading to the area, which allowed me to save my meagre stash of credits. You’ll likely spend a notable amount of time searching for and crawling through vents in Star Wars Outlaws, which are rather useful for infiltrating places you aren’t authorised to enter. Seasoned criminal organisations should really have tighter security.

Vents are also a good indicator that you’re probably going in the right direction. I had notable difficulty with navigation in Star Wars Outlaws‘ open world. Despite the direction markers at the top of the screen, there’s a relative lack of visual prompts, and it was often unclear exactly how to get where I needed to go. More than once I found myself wandering in circles. While Star Wars Outlaws does use colour to signify climbable surfaces, I found the slight yellow hue so subtle that it often blended with the rest of the scenery, especially when the lighting is also yellow. As a result it’s easy to miss areas you can climb, or erroneously attempt to climb surfaces that are merely decorative.

I further found the boundaries of where I was and wasn’t allowed to go weren’t always clear. Occasionally I found myself unceremoniously thrown out of areas with no warning, having wandered too close to its entrance guards. Not only was this annoying, it also cost me reputation points with the affronted criminal faction.

Star Wars Outlaws makes you the most important outlaw in the galaxy

Though the Zerek Besh are Star Wars Outlaws‘ primary antagonists, Kay will also encounter other criminal organisations such as the Pyke Syndicate and Crimson Dawn. These space gangs do not get along, so you’ll have to balance your relationships. Taking on jobs, sharing information, and getting caught infiltrating gang territory can all impact your standing with each faction, and sometimes you’ll have to pick a side. This in turn affects your access to quests, areas, and gear from these syndicates.

Fortunately for you, it isn’t difficult to begin earning these criminals’ approval. There’s a lot of talk about suspicion and betrayal, yet everyone seems largely happy to trust Kay immediately. Maybe not with larger jobs, which you’ll only be able to access once you’ve built up a good reputation. Yet warring criminal factions will still entrust Kay with sensitive missions and confidential information despite her being a complete stranger.

The effect is jarring considering that almost everyone around you speaks as though you’re embroiled in an environment of deep suspicion. It feels distinctly like playing pretend, which doesn’t help with immersion.

Yet it all makes sense if you simply remind yourself: this is very clearly a video game, and Kay is very clearly the protagonist.

A flat Star Wars universe revolving around you

The conceit of Star Wars Outlaws is that you are a criminal living on the fringes of polite society, taking what jobs you can. The Empire is a constant presence, but much in the same way the police are. Intergalactic battles, politics, and power struggles may be occurring, however they don’t concern you. You aren’t a Skywalker, or even a Solo. You’re a nobody.

Despite this, the game’s universe constantly reinforces that you, a penniless outlaw and rebel with a lowercase R, are in fact the main character and thus the most important person in the universe. 

You aren’t a Skywalker, or even a Solo. You’re a nobody.

A mechanic you meet immediately after crash landing inexplicably forces his help on Kay despite her clear hostility toward him. A job broker singles her out and offers her work instantly. Non-player character conversations feel like little skits performed specifically for Kay to overhear, concerning either information specifically relevant to her, or quests she might elect to take up.

Star Wars Outlaws‘ dialogue frequently felt akin to the stories in mathematics problems, offering a thin veil of narrative to convey a new mechanic or quest. This isn’t uncommon in video games, however I found Star Wars Outlaws‘ stage curtains more sheer than expected or typical. Characters felt like tools for conveying quest information rather than living organisms, which wasn’t helped by the lack of realistic reasoning to their actions. 

Meanwhile, enemies wandered around blankly repeating empty, rote lines such as “I can do more than this,” “What are we doing here?” and “The boss knows what is best for us.” 

It made Star Wars Outlaws‘ world feel underbaked, especially when compared to more lifelike NPC interactions found in other modern games. Not every NPC needs a deep, rich backstory, but it would be great if they could at least vaguely pass for sentient.

Star Wars Outlaws‘ appeal lies in being able to explore the universe that so many have come to love since it was first introduced in 1977. Sadly, much of the world felt disappointingly flat. There were pockets of interest, such as in the fantastical yet vaguely familiar cantina food (I was amused to see comically oversized mangosteen in my ship’s kitchen). Yet all of the game’s elements failed to coalesce into an engaging, rich universe, feeling more like theatre staging.

I must also note that I was disappointed not to hear any jatz (or jizz) in the cantinas. Though the Mos Eisley Cantina’s band was an iconic part of A New Hope, Toshara’s denizens eschew live music in favour of an uninspiring jukebox. My fingers are crossed that the full release will include a few jatz tunes, but I’m not holding out hope.

Star Wars Outlaws is an empty playground in a galaxy far, far away

A good way to approach Star Wars Outlaws is to think of it as a Star Wars-themed amusement park filled with actors guiding you through a script that centres you as the hero, kind of what Disney’s Star Wars hotel intended (and failed) to be. Whether you enjoy yourself will depend on if you can turn off your brain and just lean into the fantasy.

Despite how obviously shallow it was, I still had an inoffensively pleasant four hours previewing Star Wars Outlaws. After all, you typically play a game to play a game. A box cake is still cake. Sometimes you’re just in the mood for empty calories. So as long as you aren’t expecting anything more, you’ll likely have an adequate, forgettable time exploring this galaxy far, far away.

Star Wars Outlaws arrives Aug. 30 on Xbox, PlayStation 5, and PC.

Save $449: Through December 10, new Verizon mobile and home internet customers (on select plans) and current Verizon customers who upgrade to select mobile Unlimited plans can get a free year of NFL Sunday Ticket (up to a $449 value).

NFL Sunday Ticket

at Verizon
Free with select mobile or home internet plans



Watching every NFL game live is an Olympic sport in itself — unless you have NFL Sunday Ticket, that is.

Memorizing which streaming services air games on which networks on which days is no way to live, considering even mastering that schedule still bars most games that aren’t in your network. Rather than settling for the $6.99/month NFL+ plan and watching all of those out-of-network games after they air, Verizon is offering to cover the cost of a full year of NFL Sunday Ticket through YouTube TV — a $449 value.

The deal, which dropped on July 24, is available to new Verizon mobile customers when they buy a select new phone on an Unlimited Plus or Unlimited Ultimate line (starting at $55/line), new Verizon internet customers with select Home Internet plans (starting at $45/month), and existing mobile Verizon havers when they upgrade select devices to an Unlimited Plus plan.

Upgrading to one of Verizon’s mobile or home internet plans also unlocks other streaming perks, like included Netflix and Max or a discounted Disney bundle, depending on which plan you choose. And, for a limited time, new Unlimited Plus or Unlimited Ultimate mobile customers also get six free months of Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+.

If your new phone purchase involves trading in an old one, you might just be able to get that new phone for free. During this promo, Verizon will also cover the cost of your new phone when traded for a Samsung Galaxy S24 or S24+ 5G, S24 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold6 or Flip6, Google Pixel Fold or Pixel 8 Pro, or any iPhone 15 model.

House of the Dragon Season 2, episode 7: Why is House Beesbury at war with the Hightowers?

In “House of the Dragon” Season 2, episode 7, it’s made clear that House Beesbury is causing problems for the Hightowers. Why?

With so much focus on Team Black and Team Green in House of the Dragon Season 2, it can sometimes be tricky to keep track of all the other Houses and their allegiances.

Take the brief Small Council meeting in King’s Landing in episode 7, for instance, during which an update on the war effort gets quickly derailed by the arrival of a visiting dragon. Just before Prince Regent Aemond (Ewan Mitchell) goes charging off on Vhagar, Lord Jasper Wylde (Paul Kennedy) gives the following info on the Hightowers.

“Lord Ormund Hightower makes slow progress,” he says. “There is great concern that his host is threatened on two fronts by armies allied with House Beesbury.”

This comment is easy to miss or forget, but it will likely prove crucial further down the line. The Hightowers — one of Team Green’s main allies as Queen Dowager Alicent’s (Olivia Cooke) lot — are having difficulty joining the war effort because another House is at their throats: House Beesbury.

But who exactly are House Beesbury, and why don’t they like the Hightowers?

Why is House Beesbury at war with the Hightowers?

House Beesbury has a pretty good reason to hate the Hightowers, but we have to jump back to House of the Dragon Season 1 to find it.

Basically, back when the war was about to kick off in Westeros following King Viserys’ death, then Master of Coin Lord Lyman Beesbury (Bill Paterson) was one of the few Small Council members to protest against Aegon II (Tom Glynn-Carney) being placed on the Iron Throne over Viserys’ named heir, Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy).

Lord Beesbury’s resulting death wasn’t the goriest in House of the Dragon, but it was certainly a memorable one: Ser Criston Cole (Fabien Frankel) shoved him so hard back into his seat that his head was crushed against the little marble of office that everyone in the Small Council has.

That’s right: The reason House Beesbury now hates the Hightowers, and Team Green are having to fight a war on a whole other front, is down to Westeros’ very own public enemy number one, Criston Cole. Yet another piece of evidence to add to the “men’s egos causing wars” list.

New episodes of House of the Dragon air Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and Max.

Netflix’s ‘Simone Biles Rising’ is essential Paris 2024 viewing

If you’re watching Simone Biles at the 2024 Paris Olympics, you need to watch this Netflix documentary.

Let’s be real, we’re damn lucky to live in a time when Simone Biles is competing on our screens. The most decorated gymnast in history and an undisputed embodiment of the term GOAT, the 27-year old athlete has owned the world stage and the medal podium for over a decade now. She’s swimming in Olympic medals. Five gymnastic skills have been named after her. And with her return to gymnastics topped with the Paris 2024 Olympics, Biles is writing her next glorious chapter.

But it hasn’t been an easy cartwheel down the balance beam by any means for Biles — a challenging, compelling road you can join her on in Netflix’s excellent docuseries Simone Biles Rising. It’s cleverly directed by Katie Walsh with gorgeous cinematography from Jessica Young, both of whom worked on the 2021 Facebook Watch documentary Simone vs Herself. Two episodes of the four-part series have been released on Netflix, with more coming in autumn, and it’s the quintessential watch for Olympic enthusiasts, sports fans, and documentary lovers alike.

Simone Biles Rising covers a lot of ground

Simone Biles Rising always has Biles’ path to Paris on the horizon, but it begins at the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics, with the first episode mostly focusing on Biles’ most challenging career moment to date: her decision to withdraw from the artistic gymnastics women’s team final. Biles had the world’s eyes firmly fixed on her, navigating intense pressure to bring home the gold. In the final, Biles lost her way midair during a vault, experiencing a disconnection with her spatial awareness — an indication of “the twisties”. Biles describes the feeling in her interview as “in jail with my brain and body,” and the series digs further into just how dangerous and heartbreaking it can be for a gymnast, as well as the intense psychological stress related to it.

But Biles’ decision would redefine the term GOAT and publicly champion the need to take care of oneself. Walsh’s documentary examines how much pressure that term actually puts on an athlete, with perfection expected at every turn amid press and social media noise — admirably, Biles is tough enough to read some mean tweets right into the camera. 

Some of the most impressive parts of the documentary are the sections in which you’re allowed to join Biles back in the gym post-Tokyo, starting her years of training to rebuild, with the 2021 World Championships on the horizon — yep, the one where she landed the never-seen-before Yurchenko double pike. Honestly, watching these training sections, if you’re a gymnastics noob like me, you won’t see anything wrong — the jaw-dropping skills are out, people. But for Biles, this was a long road to recovery. The word “inspiring” gets thrown around a lot, especially with sports documentaries, but watching Biles keep at it with the support of her teammates and coaches, you can’t really put it any other way. 

Simone Biles is frank, courageous, and real about her personal experiences

Ever a powerful speaker, Biles is generously candid about her experiences in her interviews in the documentary, reflecting on caring for her mental health and the impact of trauma on one’s mind and body. Notably, Walsh gives Biles the space to reflect on recovery after sexual abuse. In 2018, among the #MeToo movement, Biles came forward with hundreds of women against USA Gymnastics team physician Larry Nassar, who was charged for decades of abuse against over 500 girls and young women — including Olympians Gabby Douglas, Aly Raisman, and McKayla Maroney. Biles showed incredible courage revisiting her trauma and testifying before the Senate with a powerful statement, and in the documentary, she’s generous again in speaking to it alongside her teammates (I can also highly recommend watching Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk’s outstanding and enraging documentary Athlete A on Netflix, which specifically centres the survivors and sheds light on the corrupt systems created by USA Gymnastics and the U.S. Olympic Committee that failed to protect athletes.)

Biles also gives viewers a personal insight into private elements of her life, speaking about her childhood and foster care over photo albums, sharing her personal video diaries following her Tokyo exit, and letting viewers into her “forbidden Olympic closet” — a genuine treasure trove fit for a future museum. Watching Biles suddenly confront her Tokyo leotard, the uniform she was wearing during her vault, is deeply moving — and seemingly cathartic for the athlete. But there’s plenty of joy too; watching Biles celebrate her successes is a delight to watch. The athlete taking you through all the moves named after her — including “The Biles” — with footage of each staggering skill is the most satisfying flex, and seeing Biles herself ask Siri “how many Olympic medals does Simone Biles have” is pure squeal.

A quintessential and comprehensive portrait of one of the greats — and she’s only 27.

Importantly, the series also takes a broader look at gymnastics itself, diving into the unethical pressure put on young athletes. This includes the impact of a lack of proper support for athletes through injuries, namely citing U.S. gymnast Kerri Strug who vaulted with a broken ankle in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. The series also covers problematic beauty standards and centred whiteness within gymnastics and the experiences of Black women gymnasts like champions Betty Okino and Dominique Dawes, both of whom are interviewed in the series. Here, Biles also reflects on her epic “Black girl magic” moment sharing the World Championship podium with Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade and America’s Shilese Jones in 2023, and it rules.

In fact, Biles’ personal and professional story is told and supported by an impressive array of talking heads like these, including Biles’ mother Nellie, father Ron, and sister Adria, coaches Cécile Canqueteau-Landi and Laurent Landi, teammates including Aly Raisman and Joscelyn Roberson, NCAA gymnastics champion and psychology professor Onnie Willis Rogers, journalists Alice Park and Céline Nony, sports commentator Olly Hogben, and many more. Plus, there’s some very sweet moments with her husband, NFL player Jonathan Owens, whom Biles married in 2023. 

Ultimately, the first two episodes of Simone Biles Rising are a quintessential and comprehensive portrait of one of the greats — and she’s only 27 — amid a broad brush consideration of the state of gymnastics itself by those in it. With two more chapters on the way, the series has already offered a compelling look at Biles’ athletic career that will perfectly pair with your Olympic viewing, while giving you an understanding of what it means to rebuild, work hard, and challenge yourself to overcome life’s curveballs — whatever form they may take.

How to watch: Simone Biles Rising is now streaming on Netflix.
