All the Wordle help you need to breeze through the November 25 (1255) game is right here. Get Monday’s puzzle off to the best possible start with a fresh clue, or use it a little later on to turn those yellow letters into winning greens. Need more? Then a quick click through to today’s answer should soon see this Wordle won.

A tricky start full of grey letters turned out to be a huge help today, completely blocking off a whole host of potential words and funneling me towards today’s answer. I would’ve liked to reach it a row or two earlier than I did (I had a bit of a wobble towards the end), but all things considered that wasn’t a terrible game.

Wordle today: A hint

Wordle today: A hint for Monday, November 25

Let’s be honest here—the fantasy 4X strategy genre is an intimidating one. Not just for that initial learning curve, but for the potentially immense time commitment. You could put hundreds of hours into Total War: Warhammer 3 and still see only a fraction of its campaigns. Songs of Silence from German indie outfit Chimera Entertainment feels custom built for people who want to get a good, concentrated taste of the genre but without losing months of your life, and without demolishing your budget either. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that it looks and sounds lovely.

At heart, this is familiar high fantasy strategy in the vein of Heroes of Might & Magic or Age Of Wonders. Turn by turn, you order a handful of heroes and their personal armies around the map, looting and leveling up in battles against roaming neutral monsters and bandits, conquering towns, expanding territory and building up your armies to clash against human or AI-controlled rival kingdoms. Last king (or cosmic horror) standing wins.

Where it differs is in its pacing and scale. The story campaign (a compelling enough tale of a war between primordial and celestial gods in a bifurcated world, with an all-consuming third force of cultists and abyssal demons ruining things for everyone) is a focused eight scenarios, clocking in around a breezy 15 hours total and introducing all of the game’s core mechanics, but pulling fewer punches than you’d think difficulty-wise. A good warm-up for the meat of the game; skirmish and multiplayer battles on randomly generated maps.

First reported by DSOGaming, the Project Mojave Revitalization team is calling it quits after its first (and last) release. PMR was a continuation of the ambitious Project Mojave mod to bring areas from New Vegas into Fallout 4, with the original PM devs themselves having hung up their spurs after an early access release in 2021.

Project Mojave is not to be confused with Fallout 4: New Vegas, a project aiming to do a 1:1 remake of the 2010 Obsidian classic in Fallout 4’s shinier, upgraded Creation engine. The idea with Project Mojave was to present New Vegas during the time period of Fallout 4 and after the end of FNV⁠—a tall order given how many different endings that game had, but PM seems predicated on an NCR victory. Project Mojave itself saw no further updates after November 2021, and the PMR dev team led by WolfeMan2077 implemented its continuation as a separate project requiring installation of the base Project Mojave.

Frogs aren’t the first thing that comes to mind when I think about Diablo 4, but that might change with its upcoming season of witchcraft where you can summon a whole army of them. They’re quite messy, smacking enemies with their poison tongues and then exploding into a green mist. Skeletons could never, which is why I suspect everyone, including necromancer players, will be clamoring to become the ultimate frogmancer.

Blizzard spent a small portion of its recent stream going over the new seasonal witchcraft powers coming with season 7 in January. The exploding frogs are one of several spells you can find and upgrade throughout the season, much like season 2’s vampiric powers. A shambling new enemy type, called the Headrotten, have invaded Diablo 4’s open world and slaying them helps fill out your spellbook.

Now you’re here, you’re very close to a hint for today’s Wordle. It’ll help no matter where you are in today’s game. If you’re looking at a fresh board it’ll give those crucial opening attempts some guidance, and if you’re a little too close to the bottom it’ll help make sense of the letter you’ve found along the way. Or you could click through to the November 22 (1252) answer if you like. We won’t tell.

Surely, surely, a seasoned Wordle-r staring at four green letters on their second row would instantly leap upon the answer. Surely. I blame, uh, the weather. Yes, let’s go with that. Or my cat. Or… the date. I’m glad I got there in the end, but I’m annoyed with myself for missing the most obvious missing letter for so long.
