Before I could pursue that blind alley further I put together BASKETBALL MOVES, thinking it was something to do with soccer.I was really pleased to get the purple group, although the absence of cat in place of DOG rankles.

It challenges you to find groups of four items that share something in common, and each group has a different difficulty level: green is easy, yellow a little harder, blue often quite tough and purple usually very difficult.On the plus side, you don't technically need to solve the final one, as you'll be able to answer that one by a process of elimination. What's more, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little bit of breathing room.It's a little more involved than something like Wordle, however, and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to trip you up with tricks. For instance, watch out for homophones and other word games that could disguise the answers.It's playable for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.

Fifty years ago, a monumental movie premiered that forever changed Hollywood: Steve Spielberg's "Jaws," adapted from Peter Benchley's bestselling novel, which became the highest-grossing film of its time. Richard Dreyfuss returned to Martha's Vineyard, which hosted the film production in 1974, and talked with Turner Classic Movies host Ben Mankiewicz about the notoriously difficult shoot that nonetheless birthed a blockbuster. Mankiewicz also talks with actress Lorraine Gary and screenwriter Carl Gottlieb about their experiences working with Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, and a young director making his first big-budget studio film.

Writer Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known by his pen name Mark Twain, not only redefined American literature in the 1800s; he helped create the very idea of what it meant to be an American. "Sunday Morning" national correspondent Robert Costa visits Twain's boyhood home in Hannibal, Missouri, and sits down with Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer Ron Chernow to discuss his latest book, "Mark Twain," which delves into the life, complexities and sardonic humor of a man who remains a vital presence in American culture.

A hands-on video of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 briefly appearedIt showed off the larger cover screen on this modelThe Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7 should be launched on WednesdayWe've seen plenty of leaks around the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 ahead of the official launch of these foldables – scheduled for this coming Wednesday, July 9 – and this weekend a hands-on video of the Z Flip 7 has emerged.It wasn't long before the video, posted by Mincu Andrei on X, was taken down, but a few stills of the clip have been preserved for posterity over at SamMobile. If this is genuine, it's the first time we've had a peek at a fully working Galaxy Z Flip 7.The headline upgrade here is the cover screen. Previous rumors had suggested the outer display would expand in size to wrap around the camera modules, and that's indeed what we can see in the leaked video and images.It looks as though the extra screen space – with the cover screen growing to 4.1 inches from 3.4 inches on the current Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 – will mainly be used to show date and time information, according to this leak.Thinner and fasterThe Z Flip 6 (left) and Z Fold 6 (right) (Image credit: Samsung)While it was live, the hands-on video also showed off some of the other rumored changes coming to the Galaxy Z Flip 7. The main display is apparently extending in size from 6.7 inches to 6.9 inches, while it's also expected to be getting thinner too.We have previously seen unofficial renders of both the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, and it looks as though both of them are going to shave a few fractions of a millimeter off in terms of how thick they are, front to back.Otherwise, apart from a processor speed bump, we might not see much that's new when it comes to the Galaxy Z Flip 7. The cameras are reported to be the same as the current model, for example, though we might get a bigger battery.Both the Z Fold 7 and the Z Flip 7 are going to get their grand unveiling on Wednesday, July 9, and you can watch along live while reading TechRadar's comprehensive coverage. We should also get some new wearables, including the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8.You might also likeAll the Galaxy Z Flip 7 colors we're expectingThese are the best foldable phones you can buyA potential launch date for the Galaxy Z Flip 7

Prime Day 2025 will be here in a few days, but you can already shop great tech deals on Amazon before the July 8-11 event. Case in point: the Apple Watch Series 10, which is $100 off at the moment and down to $299. That's the lowest price it's been so far since it came out last September.

It’s hard to believe that the Apple Watch is already ten years old. It seems like only yesterday that we got our hands on the first generation, and now the Apple Watch Series 10 is counting the days until the next generation is announced. Whether you’re looking to upgrade from an older Apple Watch or this is your first time buying an Apple smartwatch (though keep in mind an iPhone is required to use an Apple Watch), this sale is a great opportunity to pick one up at a fantastic value.

The tenth generation of the Apple Watch represents a powerhouse of computing on your wrist. In our hands-on review, we loved the comprehensive health and fitness tracking capabilities on the watch, which has been a strong niche for Apple. We were sad to see the blood oxygen app removed following a patent dispute, but features like fall detection and sleep apnea tracking are still intact. It’s also the thinnest Apple Watch yet, feeling more like a slim accessory than a bulky gadget. We gave the Apple Watch 10 a score of 90 out of 100, and it remains our top pick for best smartwatch.

If you're looking to send less, consider the Apple Watch SE. You can grab one for only $169 right now, or 32 percent off its usual price. It doesn't have all the bells, whistles and extra sensors that the Series 10 does, but you'll still get the core Apple Watch experience with excellent activity tracking, heart rate monitoring, smart alerts and more.
