Wordle now requires a New York Times account to view your stats-
The days of precariously storing your Wordle history in your browser’s cache are over: You now need a free New York Times account to see your stats.
I know this because I am one of the holdouts who never connected their Wordle history to an account. Since the start, my Wordle record has been tied to the Chrome profile I use for work. (Please don’t make me explain why it’s my work profile.)
However, when I finished today’s Wordle—the 1,000th Wordle puzzle—the bar graph of my guess distribution that I’ve been seeing for years was absent. In its place was an invitation to see my stats by making a free New York Times account. NYT purchased Wordle from creator Josh Wardle in 2022. (Yes, the Wordle guy is named Wardle.)
In a 2022 GDC talk, Wardle attributed Wordle’s success in part to players sharing results on social media, and said that he didn’t actually invent the idea: he turned the emoji block recaps into an automated feature after he saw a player…
xQc scores unbelievable $100 million deal to start streaming on Kick-
A New York Times report says Felix Lengyel, the streamer better known as xQc, has signed a deal with Twitch rival Kick worth $70 million over two years, with incentives that could push the total value of the deal up to $100 million in total.
“Kick is allowing me to try and do things I haven’t been able to before,” xQc said. “I’m extremely excited to take this opportunity and maximize it into new creative and fresh ideas over coming years.”
xQc’s agent, Ryan Morrison, told PC Gamer that he believes the streamer’s contract with Kick is “one of the top 25 talent deals of all time period, including sports.”
What makes the deal even more astonishing is that it’s not exclusive: xQc can continue streaming on other platforms, and in fact he still plans to maintain a presence on Twitch, although not to the extent that he has until now.
In terms of audience size, Kick is much smaller than Twitch, but it pays a much better rate: Where Twitc…

Will Nifty climb over 19500 or fall in trade- See GIFT Nifty, FII data, F&O ban, crude, more before market opens

Will Nifty show trend reversal or sink further in trade- See GIFT Nifty, FII data, F&O ban, crude, more before market opens
GIFT Nifty traded up merely 4 points, or 0.02%, at 19,815, indicating a tepid opening for domestic indices NSE Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex on Tuesday. Previously on Monday, the NSE Nifty 50 slipped 0.10% to settle at 19,731.75, while the BSE Sensex shed 115.81 points to 66,166.93.
“Markets mostly wavered in Monday’s trade amidst volatility and ended in the red for the third straight session. Cautious mood prevailed in the wake of the intensifying Israel-Hamas conflict, and the geopolitical turmoil had an outsized effect on U.S. crude futures which soared to $87.69 per barrel. If today’s uninspiring session is any indication, then the market will waver and trade choppy in Tuesday’s session as well. Technically, the confirmation of strength for Nifty only above its biggest hurdles at the 19,887 mark, while the index has the biggest support at the 19,509 mark,” said Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities.
