Turn an unruly scattering of yellow letters into an easy win with today’s Wordle hint. It’ll provide just enough of a nudge to give you a brilliant idea or a bit of a push, without spoiling your fun. Go guess your socks off—the March 28 (1378) answer can save the day in a single click if you need it.
There came a point in today’s Wordle where I literally had no room for error. I had a row with three green letters and two yellows in the gaps, as perfectly imperfect as any Wordle could be. It was as brilliant as it was annoying, because all I could see was that I was one typo away from a slightly earlier win.
Officially this is a specific type of poem, but it’s often used when talking about songs too. Not the chorus, the other bit.
Yes, there is a double letter in today’s puzzle.
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:
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.
Five green letters, just for you. The answer to the March 28 (1378) Wordle is VERSE.
Past Wordle answers can give you some excellent ideas for fun starting words that keep your daily puzzle-solving fresh. They are also a good way to eliminate guesses for today’s Wordle, as the answer is unlikely to be repeated.
Here are some recent Wordle answers:
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.
If you’re on social media you’ve probably stumbled over some quote, clip, or screen grab from one of Studio Ghibli’s movies, but with ChatGPT’s newest update introducing its most refined image generation yet, you’re now just as likely to find an AI facsimile with a startling resemblance to the real thing. Possibly based on someone’s vacation photos.

The trend is hitting social media like a hurricane and has attracted the attention of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who changed his X profile image to a Ghibli-inspired self-portrait. But it’s not just him: America’s very own verified White House X account posted an image in the same style, showing a US soldier putting handcuffs on a woman in tears, referencing a real event in Philadelphia last week.
If you had any concerns about generative AI’s implications in regard to ethics, artist rights, or copyright, that conversation is hitting a fever pitch all over the internet. That this latest generative AI fad mimics the work of someone as beloved as Hayao Miyazaki has made it particularly obscene to critics.
As filmmaker Robbie Shilstone said in a thread on X: “Miyazaki spent his entire life building one of the most expansive and imaginative bodies of work, all so you could rip it off and use it as a filter for your vacation photos … I can’t think of a worse artist to do it to as well. He is notorious for his attention to detail, his painstaking revisions, his uncompromising dedication to his craft.”
User slimjosa concurred, saying in a quote repost of an AI-generated Ghibli image: “The whole Studio Ghibli AI trend honestly gives me second-hand embarrassment knowing how hard Hayao Miyazaki has fought to retain the identity of his films and how many of you are this willing to make a farce out of decades of artistry because you don’t actually value it”. That post has racked up nearly 50,000 likes.
Also worth noting is generative AI’s carbon footprint, as it relies on energy-guzzling data centers to function. While OpenAI doesn’t disclose specific data regarding its emissions, a report from Goldman Sachs last year noted “a ChatGPT query needs nearly 10 times as much electricity to process as a Google search.”
It’s hard not to think of a notorious Miyazaki clip where he calls a procedural animation technique “an insult to life itself,” adding that “anyone who creates this stuff has no idea what pain is”.
While he wasn’t talking about generative AI as we understand it now, the crew demonstrating their technology to him said their goal was to “build a machine that can draw pictures like humans do.” It hardly feels like a stretch to make the connection between that attitude and this technology.
The Inzoi launch time and release date are upon us so it’s time to make some major life changes. The change being that we’ll finally be keeping up with not just one, but two major life sim games. Truly, I almost thought we’d never see the day. Inzoi is launching in early access on either the evening of March 27 or early on March 28 depending on where in the world you’re at.
The life simming fans of PC Gamer have had our hands all over it ahead of the proper launch day and though there’s clearly a lot of potential here, it’s currently a bit shallow. So it goes for an early access launch, right? There’s already a whole Inzoi roadmap of game updates planned for the rest of this year. You can finally make a judgement call for yourself when the Inzoi launch time hits.
Inzoi launches in early access at 5pm Pacific on March 27, which equates to March 28 in most other parts of the world. Here’s when Inzoi unlocks in a timezone near you:
Public access to the Inzoi demo began on March 23. There isn’t a pre-order advance access period for Inzoi, so this is just a freebie for anyone who wants to try it ahead of launch. The Inzoi Creative Studio demo includes access to the Inzoi Character Studio for creating your gorgeous Zois and the Inzoi Blueprint Studio for building houses.
There is no preloading period for Inzoi, so we’ll all be downloading it together on release day. My copy of Inzoi on Steam reports it being a 91.2GB download, though the installation size on disk that Steam reports is only 30.39GB. So be prepared for anything when it comes to download and installation times.
Last year PAX Australia played host to Cult of the Lamb-themed weddings, a Medusa-shaped gaming PC that doubled as commentary on AI, and memer-shooter sequel 420 Blaze It 2. Who knows what the 2025 edition will bring us?
Scheduled to take over the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre from October 10–12, PAX Australia 2025 will perch at the tail of Melbourne International Games Week as it traditionally does. Tickets are on sale now, and apparently more than half of the three-day badges have already been sold.
“We’re really looking forward to welcoming everyone to PAX Aus 2025 following an incredible year last year,” said PAX Australia Event Director, Lauren Luciani. “The team is working very hard putting together a showfloor and schedule we know our PAX Aus fans will love. Every year, we try to deliver the best possible experience for our PAX Aus audience, no matter what their gaming passion. But it’s people’s passion and enthusiasm that brings the atmosphere, so we’re looking forward to seeing everyone back at MCEC in October for the ultimate game night (and day) across an entire weekend!”
The banners at PAX Australia traditionally say “Welcome home,” a tagline for the event that sums up its hospitable vibe. While the first edition at the Melbourne Showgrounds back in 2013 was a bit of a rough launch, since finding its apparent forever home at the Convention and Exhibition Centre it’s gone from strength to strength. Another three days of playing indie games at the PAX Rising booths and racing from panel to panel, with maybe a moment to chill out at the paint-and-take minis table, sounds like an excellent time.
Tickets are available online. It’ll be tough to top Valve showing up to reveal the long-awaited Australian launch of the Steam Deck, but it’ll be interesting to see what they’ve got planned.
Sometimes small is actually big—at least when it comes to advancements in LED technology. For a bright, clear picture, OLED screens are where it’s at; they easily outperform traditional LED displays and have breathtaking Micro-LED displays beat when it comes to price—though that’s not hard to do when a reasonably sized Micro-LED screen can easily cost thousands of dollars still. We all love a screen that boasts accurate backlighting, but not that much.
Researchers at Zhejiang University and Cambridge University have unveiled LED display technology that’s even smaller and potentially a darn sight more efficient. In a blog post, it was announced the team had created not just micro-LEDs but nano-LEDs featuring “pixel lengths of 90 nanometers” (via Tom’s Hardware). These make them not only the smallest LEDs in the world but also mean screens of the future leveraging this tech could potentially cram in an astonishing 127,000 pixels per inch.
To put that into perspective, a 27-inch 4K gaming monitor has just a piffling 163 pixels per inch. Even if you start counting the individual sub-pixels, one for each colour channel, you’re still getting less than 1,000 per inch.
So, what’s the secret sauce of these teeny tiny LEDs? Perovskite, a mineral most commonly used in solar panels (not unlike this wacky solar-powered laptop from Lenovo). As such, the researchers refer to their itty bitty, Perovskite-based LEDs as “nano-PeLEDs,” and they claim that “unlike the conventional micro-LEDs based on III-V semiconductors, the micro/nano-PeLEDs exhibit minimum performance reduction upon downsizing.” Talk about small but mighty.
Developing these nano-PeLEDs was hardly straightforward though, as Perovskite tends to be too fragile to withstand the photolithographic processes usually required to create LED displays. To put it very simply, the researchers instead deployed a bespoke process that deploys “lithographically patterned windows in an additional insulating layer” to protect the Perovskite in a way that also doesn’t compromise image quality. For a much longer answer, the team wrote at length about the process in an article recently published in the scientific journal Nature.
When discussing the future of this technology, gaming does get an explicit mention from the team. To briefly rewind, Micro-LEDs are a compelling option for VR headsets despite their expense. However, to complete the illusion of virtual reality, you need a screen that can produce an image that holds up to scrutiny at blinking distance.
Unfortunately, the efficiency of a Micro-LED display taps out when you really try to hide the seams between pixels by making them much smaller. For the time being, LCD and micro-OLED displays rule the VR roost, but Nano-PeLEDs could instead succeed where Micro-LEDs have so far failed.
Professor Zhao Baodan of Zhejiang University muses in the blog post, “The efficiency of micro-LEDs drops rapidly when the pixel sizes are smaller than 10 micrometers, which are the desirable pixel sizes for high-end [virtual reality] applications with ultra-high resolutions. Halide perovskites are a new class of semiconductors. It would be interesting to see how perovskite LEDs perform when they are made extremely small.”
Virtual reality dreams aside for now, the team have partnered with LinkZill, a Hangzhou-based company specialising in thin-film transistor tech, in order to jointly create “a prototypical active-matrix micro-PeLED display driven by a [thin-film transistor] backplane.” This prototype is likely the first step towards more widespread commercial uptake of micro- and nano-PeLED tech…so you could say, the future looks bright. And very, very small.
