Give today’s Wordle an instant boost with Wednesday’s brand-new hint. It’ll help give your guesses a nudge in the right direction, but still leave plenty of fun puzzling for you. Running out of rows? Don’t worry about it—the answer to the July 3 (1110) game’s here too if you want to take a peek.
One, two, three green letters… I really thought I had this one on my second go. Then I was sure I had it on my third. Fourth? That’s done it. Finally. What an odd Wordle. I rattled through it pretty quickly, but those almost-rights made it feel a lot longer.

Wordle today: A hint for Wednesday, July 3
You’ll need to think about body parts to win this Wordle. What’s the name of the bit of the leg above someone…
We live in an era of fakes and frauds. With the proliferation of AI, it’s harder than ever to figure out what’s true and what isn’t. Is the Pope dripped out in Balenciaga? Has Tom Cruise met Gorbachev? Am I AI? Are you?
There’s only one way to respond to the crushing psychic torture inflicted on us by modernity: Turn it into a game. So here’s Human or Not, a kind of Chatroulette-like that challenges you to decide whether your conversation partner is human or AI after a two-minute chat.
Billed as a “part of a larger scientific research project by AI21 Labs,” Human or Not actually came out last year before becoming unavailable. Lucky for us, it’s now back and taking over most of my Twitter feed as people find themselves thoroughly befuddled by its mix of tricksy large language…
Helldivers 2 threw out the first game’s top-down camera perspective, bringing us closer to our soldiers to make us feel extra vulnerable as we face off with extraterrestrial killer bugs and robots, Arrowhead Studios CEO and creative director Johan Pilestedt told PlayStation Blog.
“Helldivers 1 took a lot of inspiration from real life and military-sim experiences—merged with combat against extraterrestrials,” Pilestedt said. “The distance in top-down viewpoints, however, does not allow for more immersive experiences.”
By pulling the camera in closer to the action, Arrowhead could make everything in the world, including your own teammates, feel dangerous. “We always knew we wanted the juxtaposition between the fragility of humans with overpowered tools versus physically …
Diablo 4’s many high-tier drops were not created equal. Yeah, there are the Barbarian gloves that turn the game into a kind of euphoric slot machine, and there’s the Necromancer gear that renders the Corpse Explosion ability completely ungovernable, but they’re just one side of the coin. The other side has, well, stuff like this.

That, reader, is the Boneweave Helm of the Crowded Sage. Uncovered by a Diablo player who goes by LavusVincere on Reddit, the helm is a largely unremarkable bit of legendary headgear in every aspect but one: Its, um, Aspect. That’s the text in orange next to the star, if you’re not sure, and in this helm’s case it reads “You Heal for 0 Life per second for each Close …
Valve’s been going pretty hard on Dota 2 this year, and the latest is targeting those who start fresh accounts in the free-to-play game so that they can play easy games and stomp rookies. Valve has also traced the accounts back to their main accounts, and says that from now on “a main account found associated with a smurf account could result in a wide range of punishments, from temporary adjustments to behavior scores to permanent account bans.”
Smurf accounts, for those of you who don’t know, are brand-new accounts used by experienced players to avoid playing at a proper matchmaking level—or to just cheat, grief, troll, and be broadly toxic without permanent consequence.
For many players in competitive, free-to-play games, and for mobas in particular, smurfing …
Legendary super-soldier squad G.I. Joe made a surprise appearance at the PC Gaming Show today in a new trailer for G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra, a retro-style beat-em-up that pits Duke, Scarlett, Snake Eyes, and other members of the team against the nefarious forces of Cobra.
Fists are clearly the weapon of choice in Wrath of Cobra, but players will also be able to take advantage of guns, explosives, and other implements of violent do-goodery as they battle evil across Cobra Island, G.I. Joe’s headquarters, Cobra’s secret underwater base, and other familiar locales. Fighters can string together combos, dodge and parry enemy attacks, and take advantage of special abilities as they fight solo or in groups of up to four in online or couch co-op play to “overcome the odds and save the wor…

I’ll admit I didn’t really think about my opener today, choosing to plough straight on in there with the first word that popped into my head—and luckily for me, this turned out to be a great start. The answer came quickly, although I did worry when I turned over four greens, thinking I was about to be stuck playing hunt-the-consonant before I found today’s Wordle answer.

In a blog post published Friday, Wizards of the Coast announced that it is fully putting the kibosh on the proposed Open Gaming License (OGL) 1.2 that threw the tabletop RPG community into disarray at the beginning of this month.
Instead, Wizards will leave the previously enshrined OGL 1.0 in place, while also putting the latest D&D Systems Reference Document (SRD 5.1) under a Creative Commons License (thanks to GamesRadar for the spot).
The OGL controversy timeline in brief
- The original OGL was put in place with the third edition of D&D in 2000, and allowed other companies and creators to base their work off D&D and the d20 system without payment to or oversight from Wizards.
- A draft of a revised OGL 1.1 leaked early in January, which propos…
Watch On
I’m calling it: 2024 is the year of the mech. We’ve got Helldivers mechs, farming mechs, and we just got a fresh look at Mecha Break at Gamescom Opening Night Live, showing off the mech-combat action that we first laid eyes on at last year’s Game Awards.
The trailer contained, well, a lot of geared-up mechs squaring off and hitting each other, but also showcased classes like snipers, attackers, and defenders.
I’m very curious about this one. After PCG’s Ted Litchfield chatted to studio boss Kris Kwok about the game’s 60-person battle royale/extraction shooter hybrid mode earlier this year, I’ve been eager to get my hands on it. Mashing up mech customisation with a big chaotic battle royale thing sounds like precisely the kind of nonsense I can get into.

As reported by Fast Company, last Wednesday the FDA gave medical device clearance to a product called Traumagel that’s designed to prevent bleeding and is basically a real-life version of Halo’s Biofoam. Only instead of coming in a camo-green cylindrical canister, it comes in a stimpak-looking plastic dispenser, “a 30-ml syringe of an algae- and fungi-based hemostatic gel that’s the color and texture of hummus.”
Traumagel is designed for the kind of severe bleeding that follows a bullet wound, which would otherwise be treated with a product like QuickClot, a gauze that’s soaked in a chemical clotting agent, or good old-fashioned superglue, like in that one episode of Poker Face.
“If you have a roll of gauze, you have to pack that into a bullet wound inch by inch, and you hav…
