Make sure you pair that boost with our tips, so you can make the most out of every letter you find along the way. Need more? That’s why the February 11 (1333) answer is only a click away.
By the time I’d had my second go I had four green letters lighting up my screen. I was a bit baffled, really, as I’d settled in assuming I was in for a long fight. Not to worry though, because this is usually the part where Wordle gets mean and I spend the next ten minutes fighting for my life against the entire English alphabet. Or uncovering Tuesday’s answer really easily on my very next go. I’m still not entirely sure how that happened.

Wordle help: 3 tips for beating Wordle every day
Looking to extend your Wordle winning streak? Perhaps you’ve just started playing the popular daily puzzle game and are looking for some pointers. Whatever the reason you’re here, these quick tips can help push you in the right direction:
Start with a word that has a mix of common vowels and consonants.
The answer might repeat the same letter.
Try not to use guesses that include letters you’ve already eliminated.
There’s no racing against the clock with Wordle so you don’t need to rush for the answer. Treating the game like a casual newspaper crossword can be a good tactic; that way, you can come back to it later if you’re coming up blank. Stepping away for a while might mean the difference between a win and a line of grey squares.

Wordle gives you six rows of five boxes each day, and it’s up to you to work out which five-letter word is hiding among them to win the popular daily puzzle.
It’s usually a good plan to start with a strong word like ALERT—or any other word with a good mix of common consonants and multiple vowels—and you should be off to a flying start, with a little luck anyway. You should also avoid starting words with repeating letters, so you don’t waste the chance to confirm or eliminate an extra letter. Once you hit Enter, you’ll see which letters you’ve got right or wrong. If a box turns ⬛️, it means that letter isn’t in the secret word at all. 🟨 means the letter is in the word, but not in that position. 🟩 means you’ve got the right letter in the right spot.
Your second guess should compliment the first, using another “good” word to cover any common letters you might have missed on the first row—just don’t forget to leave out any letter you now know for a fact isn’t present in today’s answer. After that, it’s just a case of using what you’ve learned to narrow your guesses down to the correct word. You have six tries in total and can only use real words and don’t forget letters can repeat too (eg: BOOKS).

Originally, Wordle was dreamed up by software engineer Josh Wardle, as a surprise for his partner who loves word games. From there it spread to his family, and finally got released to the public. The word puzzle game has since inspired tons of games like Wordle, refocusing the daily gimmick around music or math or geography. It wasn’t long before Wordle became so popular it was sold to the New York Times for seven figures. Surely it’s only a matter of time before we all solely communicate in tricolor boxes.
First reported by Ars Technica, the “big cheese” of online search appears to have really curdled things, and in the heart of America’s dairyland, no less. An ad for Google’s Gemini AI that played in Wisconsin during the Super Bowl was first shown online last week with a “hallucination”—that is to say, a bald-faced lie—visible during a demonstration of the “writing aid.” The ad was quietly edited to remove the hallucination before it went live during the big game.
Apparently everybody just soft-launches their Super Bowl ads on YouTube a week in advance now, and that goes for Google’s gaggle of 50 spots showcasing how Gemini could help small business owners, with a unique 30-second showcase for each state of the Union. In Wisconsin, the ad focused on a cheesemonger writing online store copy for his assorted victuals.
Wisconsin – Wisconsin Cheese Mart: Gemini in Google Docs – YouTube
The weirdness came partway through, when the ad actually showed Google Gemini in action. It told the cheese vendor that Gouda accounts for “50 to 60 percent of the world’s cheese consumption.” Now, Gouda’s hardly a hardcore real head pick like Roquefort or BellaVitano, but there’s also no way it’s pulling in cheddar or mozzarella numbers. Travel blogger Nate Hake and Google-focused Twitter account Goog Enough documented the erroneous initial version of the ad, but Google responded by quietly swapping in a more accurate Gemini-suggested blurb in all live versions of the ad, including the one that aired during the Super Bowl.
Adding another wrinkle to the story, the erroneous statistic can seemingly be sourced to the Gouda page on cheese.com, an SEO-focused website with a love for cheese and a loose cannon, devil may care approach to the facts. Google Gemini will supposedly provide links to the sources it pulls from, much like AI Overview in search, and you could charitably argue that this feature just wasn’t on display during the ad.
But that raises other concerns: Is the ad then just pure “bullshot” like all those pre-rendered E3 game trailers of yore or all of Elon Musk’s silly robots? No matter how much Gemini cites sources, isn’t there something ethically questionable about an automated process presenting itself as a neutral arbiter of the internet, offering potentially rotten information as authoritative statements of fact? Google states Gemini is a “creative writing aid, not intended to be factual,” and notes that suggestions from Help Me Write in Chrome “can be inaccurate or offensive since it’s still in an experimental status.”
But that truly begs the question of who would want writing help from a program that spits out “inaccurate or offensive” information. There is also something darkly humorous to me about Google having to eat some crow due to the output of an SEO slop farm whose existence was incentivized by the company in the first place. Billions of dollars and untold amounts of compute power are being thrown at AI models, but they don’t seem to be making much progress on the “hallucination” problem.

Last year we had a murder mystery expansion for Magic: The Gathering, followed by a Wild West one. As the cynics put it, they were “Magic in detective hats” and “Magic in cowboy hats”. Now, with the Aetherdrift set basically being themed around Speed Racer and Twisted Metal, the cynics say this is “Magic in a racing helmet,” when what the people really want (for “the people” read “cranky Redditbros”) is more trad fantasy.
This rings false to me. For starters, we just had Foundations, a set that went back to the game’s original inspirations and in some cases the original cards, a set with plenty of dragons and angels and swords being turned into ploughshares. If it’s trad fantasy you’re after, you’ll eat well at the Foundations table. Aetherdrift is for those who crave variety, who don’t want to eat the same high fantasy meal every night of the week.
And, as someone who only got seriously into collecting Magic rather than just playing the digital versions with Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty—a fully cyberpunk set with mechs and cards like Born to Drive—the idea of magical Carmageddon doesn’t seem too far out there. Magic’s multiverse clearly isn’t full of worlds that conveniently stopped advancing at the medieval period (New Capenna is blatantly the 1920s with demons), so bring on the Wacky Wheels, I say, and the wackier the better.
I went to a prerelease event at one of my local gaming stores, Plenty of Games in Melbourne, to take Aetherdrift for a test drive. The good thing about these prerelease events is how casual they are. While the hosts do call time so you can end your first match and play someone else, my table cheerfully ignored that and instead played a four-player game that lasted the entire evening, which felt more on-theme for a race than a series of one-on-one duels would.
Playing sealed meant opening a selection of boosters and building decks from what was available. I was tempted to build a black deck around Pactdoll Terror, a toy car piloted by a killer doll, which gives you a point of life and takes one from all your opponents when you play an artifact. There are plenty of artifact cards in Aetherdrift, mostly vehicles, but instead I decided to build a deck to test out the new speed mechanic.
When you play a card with “Start your engines!” on it you gain a speed of one, and it increases one point per turn if you damage an opponent. At max speed, which is four, various card-dependent effects trigger. My deck’s Walking Sarcophagus went from a 2/1 to a 3/3 for instance, and my Aether Syphon forced everyone else to mill two cards whenever I drew one. One of the other players went for a similar tactic, Aether Syphon and all, but because I hit max speed before them I was confident I’d mill everyone else to death first.
(Image credit: Wizards of the Coast/Devin Elle Kurtz)
I hadn’t counted on the player sat across from me having Push the Limit, a card that returns all your vehicles and mounts from the discard pile to the table, and lets them attack without crew that turn. We’d been filling his discard pile for several turns, helpfully loading bullets into a gun he then turned around and fired at the rest of us. The cards you get back with Push the Limit have to be discarded again at the end of the turn, but that one big swing wiped out one player and reduced the rest of us to our last few life points.

It didn’t win him the game, though. The player sitting in the far corner had not long before played Pactdoll Terror, and then she efficiently drained everyone else’s final life points by following it with a handful of artifacts in a row. I could only applaud. It was a classic tortoise-and-hare situation, with the least assuming racer crossing the finish line while everyone else had their engines betray them on the home stretch. A perfect marriage of theme and mechanics.
(Aetherdrift has a surprisingly in-depth connection to the lore as well, with narrative designer Miguel Lopez really going to town on the worldbuilding side of things.)

It’s a shame that Mimimi Games, the studio behind the Shadow Tactics games, closed down in 2023. But other studios have picked up the real-time stealth tactics slack, resulting in games like Sumerian Six, and the upcoming prequel to the Commandos series.
Commandos: Origins is being developed by Claymore Game Studios and published by Kalypso. It’ll tell the story of how the dirty half-dozen—the green beret, the sapper, the sniper, the driver, the marine, and the spy—came together in the early days of World War II, over the course of more than 10 missions.
Claymore’s studio director, Jürgen Reusswig, said that, “After more than four years of setting up a new studio, design and development and the invaluable community feedback from various playtests, operation ‘Release’ is a go for Commandos: Origins. We are proud and excited that players will now be able to experience the origins story of the elite unit which started this legendary franchise.”
As well as singleplayer it’ll have two-player co-op, which can be played either splitscreen local or online. Commandos: Origins is scheduled for release on April 9 via Steam, where you can currently download a demo.

Abiotic Factor’s Dark Energy update is so vast and comprehensive it opened a rift right into The PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted, where developer Deep Field Games revealed the new faction, new gizmos, and enormous new area coming to the Half-Life inspired survival game. Indeed, it was large enough that the studio delayed the update out of 2024, and only now has Dark Energy formally arrived into the GATE Cascade Research Facility.
In a lengthy Steam update, Deep Field Games further detailed the many strange corners of the Dark Energy update. For starters, it adds a huge new area called ‘Power Services’, which includes another area known as The Reactors. Deep Field Games refuses to divulge much information about the biome, as it likes to “Let the Facility speak for itself”, but I can tell you it’s filled with bioluminescent plant life, a fact I cleverly deduced from some tiny clues in the image below:
(Image credit: Deep Field Games)
Sherlock Holmes, eat your heart out.
Perhaps the most significant addition Dark Energy makes, however, is a whole new faction called The Gatekeepers. This strange group can be found mainly in the Reactors. Again, Deep Field is cryptic about their motivations, but they dress an awful lot like Warhammer 40,000 marines and look about as friendly, so I’d suggest you approach with caution.
Alongside expanding the world and story of Abiotic Factor, Dark Energy also makes a few interesting mechanical contributions. Players can now build and deploy teleporter pads. These can be linked together to instantly traverse the facility (no doubt with zero adverse effects). If you prefer your transportation less…disintegratory, you could instead opt to try Abiotic Factor’s new hardlight technology. This can be used to construct bridges across chasms, while also coming in handy as ad-hoc cover and protection.
Those are the major features Dark Energy adds, but they’re accompanied by a much longer list of smaller additions. These include *inhales* a new pet, an expansion to the Flathill area, new fishing zones, new armour, a fancy retractable harpoon spear, military grade explosives, improved lasers, a short-range jetpack, a construction gauntlet, a grenade that seems to generate black holes, and a dimension in a backpack. Phew. Presumably, Deep Field added that last one so you can carry all the other gizmos Dark Energy stuffs into the game.
The release seems to have gone smoothly. Deep Field has issued multiple hotfixes in quick succession since the expansion release, which caught my eye as this can be indicative of an update not quite going to plan. But that doesn’t appear to be the case here. Certainly, it hasn’t adversely affected Abiotic Factor’s ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ Steam rating, with 96% of gamer thumbs still pointing toward the sky.

There’s a launch trailer for the update that you can watch above. Dark Energy is supposedly the final major update Abiotic Factor will receive before hitting 1.0, due to happen later this year. Various members of the PCG team have praised its inventive take on survivalism over the past couple of years, and I personally can’t wait to get my lead-lined mitts on it when it finally teleports out of early access.

There are six rows of five boxes presented to you by Wordle each day, and you’ll need to work out which five-letter word is hiding among them to win the daily puzzle.

They say detective work is primarily about sitting in front of a computer, and if so, have I got the desktop for you. Armed with Nut OS 1.1, the Cashew PC offers speedy net surfing and thorough database searching – all without the bloat of a modern Windows machine, or the sluggishness of a genuine late ‘90s PC. It’s the main tool in your arsenal in The Roottrees are Dead, a game about filling in a massive, tangled family tree.
In the wake of a recent tragedy, which has claimed the lives of the current president of the Roottree Candy Company, his wife and their three daughters, you’ve been hired by a mysterious client to chart the Roottree dynasty in incontestable black and white. That means combing through fictional websites, library books and periodicals for the facts required to pin them down on your big, conspiracy-style cork board.
Need to know
What is it? A game where you fill in a family tree. Much more exciting than it sounds. Release date: Jan 15, 2025 Expect to pay: $19.99/£16.75 Developer: Robin Ward Publisher: Evil Trout Reviewed on: Intel Core i7-10750H, 16GB RAM, GeForce RTX 2060 Steam Deck: Unknown Multiplayer? No Link: Steam
Sure it’s easy enough to uncover the names of the three sisters that died in the crash – they are currently plastered all over the internet – plus their professions and a photo each to “lock them in”. But what about their parents? And the parents of their parents’ parents? You have 90 years of this stuff to dig up, so get searching.
Every time you find a clue—if you even noticed it, as they can be cleverly buried—you have a number of avenues to turn to (on your swivel chair). There’s the evidence on your evidence desk (maybe I should get an evidence desk): relevant photos and documents you’ll return to, time and again, to cross-reference new information. But your main port of call is the World Wide Web, the Information Superhighway, which—just as in the real 1998—has exactly three sites of note.
Fictional search engine SpiderSearch is useful for looking up the more famous Roottrees, or notable incidents involving them, while any books you have uncovered may be available from a central library database. Periodicals are also handy for digging up the titbits you need to complete an entry. I lost track of the number of times I had used the married rather than the maiden names of the Roottree spouses.

Technically you’re only required to fill in direct descendants on the family tree (company founder Elias Roottree was a bit obsessed with the bloodline), but when every name or profession or discovered photograph feels like sifted gold, you’re going to slap them all on the cork board anyway.
After every few successful entries, the game fades to black to pat you on the back, confirming your work by locking those entries in place. The game is essentially one giant puzzle—pretty daunting when you zoom out to a sea of question marks and no idea where to start—so it’s best to take notes, whether in real-life or with the in-game notebook.
Actually, speaking of that notebook, it’s one of the niftiest notebooks ever made. Just one element of an interface that works its socks off to keep you immersed in the detecting flow state. Found a clue on a website, in a book, or in one of your evidence folders? Simply highlight it with the mouse for options to search for it on the internet, or to add it to your notebook, no typing required. The Roottrees are Dead never feels fiddly, repetitive or time-consuming, and in a game about transferring information between menus repeatedly, that’s no small feat.
The AI-generated artwork of the original is thankfully gone, replaced by beautifully hand-drawn photos, magazine covers and promotional flyers.
I said much the same thing back when I reviewed the earlier, free version of The Roottrees are Dead, which is largely similar but neatly eclipsed by this paid remake. The AI-generated artwork of the original is thankfully gone, replaced by beautifully hand-drawn photos, magazine covers and promotional flyers, while the action has spread out from just your desktop to your entire living room. The corners of the room are dominated by your PC, your cork board, the evidence desk and the front door, which is where your client will occasionally pop up to progress the overall story.
With such a large cast of characters, and often cursory details about their lives, I felt like I knew a lot and very little about the Roottrees after playing the game. It was fascinating to unravel their history, their secrets, to follow potential clues down rabbit holes and feel like an actual detective, but very rarely did I discover anything to make me care about the characters.
The Roottrees are Still Dead

That’s just one element bettered in the expansion, which is included as part of this remake, and accessible after you complete the main game. Roottreemania deals with the fallout of the explosive ending of The Roottrees are Dead, enriching characters from the previous game while introducing additional branches to the family tree. Here, you’re following the trails of various infidelities—an area not really touched on in the previous game—and the illegitimate offspring that now have a claim to the Roottree fortune.
Partway into this tougher investigation, I realised I’d been touched by some of the stuff I had uncovered. Little details had fully brought many of its characters to life. The game generally summarises websites and documents, rather than delivering them to you wholesale, and more interesting and affecting details about their lives have been picked out here.
This second part of the Roottree saga is also a better detective game, with a greater amount of useless information to sift through (making the genuine clues, when you find them, all the more rewarding), and a more challenging method of inputting information. In the first part, you select first and last names from a reassuringly dwindling list, but here the pool of available names is considerably larger, and it doesn’t deplete, meaning you’re less able to rely on guesswork to fill in the blanks.
All in all, you could hardly ask for a better follow-up to The Roottrees are Dead, which itself is a lavish revamp of the free original. This is a game for the quiet hours at your desk, your lamp low and the coffee steaming away, and one of the best games about unglamorous detective work.

Wordle help: 3 tips for beating Wordle every day
A good starting word can be the difference between victory and defeat with the daily puzzle, but once you’ve got the basics, it’s much easier to nail down those Wordle wins. And as there’s nothing quite like a small victory to set you up for the rest of the day, here are a few tips to help set you on the right path:
A good opening guess should contain a mix of unique consonants and vowels.
Narrow down the pool of letters quickly with a tactical second guess.
Watch out for letters appearing more than once in the answer.
There’s no racing against the clock with Wordle so you don’t need to rush for the answer. Treating the game like a casual newspaper crossword can be a good tactic; that way, you can come back to it later if you’re coming up blank. Stepping away for a while might mean the difference between a win and a line of grey squares.

Wordle gives you six rows of five boxes each day, and you’ll need to work out which secret five-letter word is hiding inside them to keep up your winning streak.
You should start with a strong word like ARISE, or any other word that contains a good mix of common consonants and multiple vowels. You’ll also want to avoid starting words with repeating letters, as you’re wasting the chance to potentially eliminate or confirm an extra letter. Once you hit Enter, you’ll see which ones you’ve got right or wrong. If a box turns ⬛️, it means that letter isn’t in the secret word at all. 🟨 means the letter is in the word, but not in that position. 🟩 means you’ve got the right letter in the right spot.
Your second guess should compliment the starting word, using another “good” word to cover any common letters you missed last time while also trying to avoid any letter you now know for a fact isn’t present in today’s answer. With a bit of luck, you should have some coloured squares to work with and set you on the right path.
After that, it’s just a case of using what you’ve learned to narrow your guesses down to the right word. You have six tries in total and can only use real words (so no filling the boxes with EEEEE to see if there’s an E). Don’t forget letters can repeat too (ex: BOOKS).

Originally, Wordle was dreamed up by software engineer Josh Wardle, as a surprise for his partner who loves word games. From there it spread to his family, and finally got released to the public. The word puzzle game has since inspired tons of games like Wordle, refocusing the daily gimmick around music or math or geography. It wasn’t long before Wordle became so popular it was sold to the New York Times for seven figures. Surely it’s only a matter of time before we all solely communicate in tricolor boxes.
