One thing that sets Wordle apart from other games is that you face a grid with no clues whatsoever at the start. You get to make the first move, and gameplay follows from your choices. Your starting word matters—so what do you choose?

I am a fashion-challenged person. My parents trained me to put on pants before leaving the house, but that’s pretty much where my sartorial education stopped. For most of my adult life I have wallowed in fashion confusion, unable to keep track of the rules governing when and where I was allowed to dress a certain way.

Snapchat is the rare social media app that never made the jump from mobile to desktop. Instagram has a web app, WhatsApp has a desktop app, but, until now, you always needed your phone by your side if you wanted to Snap. Starting today, though, you can pick up those conversations on your Mac or PC, whether you’re…

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain, and I fear I am entering my villain era. Not intentionally, but my brain seems to be gravitating towards stranger and stranger things. Take this dish, which would be considered “a big crime” both by people from the American South and…

We strongly recommend checkups with your eye doctor and a regular updating of your prescription, but sometimes life gets in the way. You might break or lose your glasses just weeks after your old prescription expired, or you might just want spare glasses or contacts. But to get new glasses or contacts, you usually…

Gone are the days when having a professional clean your home was a sign that you were rich—like really well-off. With new apps, affordable prices, and so many of us working multiple jobs, hiring a house-cleaner is not only doable, but often necessary. Still, if you’ve never done it, it can be intimidating. What is the…

Your outfits are awesome. Too awesome, in fact, to hold knowledge of them all inside your head. Posting your OOTDs (outfit of the day) on Insta and TikTok is the traditional way to catalog your daily looks, but, if you have an iPhone running iOS 16, there’s a more effective—not to mention cooler—method you could be…

Picture perfect apples are tumbling into grocery stores with no sign of stopping, and will continue to do so for the next month or so. Make the most of this bounty by cooking up one of the more concentrated iterations of apple—apple butter, with a twist. It’s always been a dippable, spreadable, velvety smooth fall…

If you want to watch NFL football in 2022, but you don’t want cable, there’s good news and bad news. The good news is that there are a ton of options for watching games without tying yourself up to Cox or Time Warner. The bad news is that different games are spread over a number of different services, so it can be…

iOS 16 is filled with plenty of major features, but there are smaller changes as well—like the return of your battery percentage, and an option to enable haptic feedback on the stock iPhone keyboard for the first time. But one thing lost in all the news is the addition to Messages’ Filters feature.

The past few years have been incredibly stressful for all of us. From worries about health and safety, to dealing with the death or illness of friends and family, navigating financial hardships due to job loss, or having to constantly adjust for school closures and disruptions in childcare, life has been a nonstop…

I’m Irish-American, so I should have disdain for the British monarchy from both sides of the hyphen. I had been indifferent my whole life...that is, until Queen Elizabeth II died and the incessant “the Queen is dead” coverage revealed what a bunch of fucking freaks the royal family is. Now I’m obsessed.

The ubiquitous US News college rankings attempt to answer an inherently subjective question—“Where should I go to college?”—with hard numbers. While an admirable goal to some extent, the resulting list is anything but objective, and it certainly should not be make-or-break in your college selection process.

Having a dishwasher is a game changer, even if it’s a tiny dishwasher, cutting down on both labor and water use. Next to air conditioning, the dishwasher is my favorite discrete invention of all time, excluding big big ones like electricity and indoor plumbing (both of which necessarily predated the creation of the…

There are many things I wish I’d known before becoming a parent. The incredible volume of Band-Aids that would be wasted. How many photos on my camera roll would be out-of-focus selfies of my toddler’s head. Most of all, the amount of time I’d spend performing mind-numbing logistical acrobatics to manage my family’s…

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is currently investigating a multi-state E.coli outbreak that has made at least seven people sick—six of whom have been hospitalized. The link between the cases of the foodborne illness appears to be contaminated ground beef from HelloFresh meal kits.

Whether you like it or not, it is now the norm for kids to have their own iPhones. That can be a terrifying thought: An iPhone is a window into the entirety of the internet through apps, Safari, messaging, what have you. Luckily, your child’s iPhone won’t be that. Instead, you can set things up to make sure their…

Ever since I read that Ina Garten puts blue cheese in her coleslaw, I have been obsessed with a concept I’ve decided to call “wedgeslaw,” a coleslaw made with all the usual wedge salad accoutrement. Today I finally made it a reality, and it is all I dreamed it would be (and a little more).
