I started things off poorly despite getting the green 'Y'. Too many words still ended with 'Y' to make a solid guess. I tried all new letters with GLOAM but none turned up yellow or green. NERDY seemed like a good guess, and it was. Only one word remained: NERVY for the win!

The word "nervy" comes from "nerve" + the adjective-forming suffix "-y." It first appeared in the late 1800s in American English, originally meaning "showing courage or boldness." Over time, it also came to mean "overly bold" or "agitated and anxious," depending on context.

Sports world reacts to viral apparent affair between CEO and colleague at Coldplay concert
Print Close By Ryan Morik Published July 18, 2025 The sports world is chiming in on the viral supposed affair caught on camera at a recent Coldplay concert. The band was playing at Gillette Stadium this week when a "Kiss Cam" caught a man and a woman getting awfully comfortable with each other in a suite. The man and woman quickly hid themselves from the camera, and frontman Chris Martin joked that a couple on screen were "either having an affair or just very shy." CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON The pair, who online sleuths claimed are Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and his Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot, sparked a firestorm of speculation and mockery across social media. Several sports teams decided to join in on the fun. The St. Louis Cardinals posted a picture of Albert Pujols hugging Adam Wainwright, captioning it "When Coldplay starts playing your song." The Seattle Mariners also offered up Cal Raleigh's services for dumping, considering his nickname is "Big Dumper." Netflix also highlighted a moment in their recent "Quarterback" series when Kirk Cousins praised the band. Michael Jordan's racing company also poked fun at the incident. Byron is the CEO of Astronomer, the cybersecurity startup, and Cabot, according to her LinkedIn, is the company's chief people officer. It seems they have worked closely together for years. MAKE-A-WISH RECIPIENT CHOOSES TO MEET CJ STROUD BECAUSE OF HIS FAITH: 'A GREAT CHRISTIAN' Last November, Astronomer posted a press release, as the tech company announced Cabot as the newly appointed chief people officer. "Kristin's exceptional leadership and deep expertise in talent management, employee engagement, and scaling people strategies will be critical as we continue our rapid trajectory," Byron wrote of his new employee at the time. "She is a proven leader at multiple growth-stage companies and her passion for fostering diverse, collaborative workplaces makes her a perfect fit for Astronomer." CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP The press release also included Cabot's statement about her new job: "I prefer to think of my role as people strategy versus traditional human resources, as the real magic happens when you align the people strategy with the business strategy."

Mysterious 10ft mural of former North East football boss eating chips appears on wall
A mysterious 10ft-high artwork of former North East football manager Sam Allardyce eating a large bag of chips has appeared on a wall near a fast food shop in his home town, sparking speculation about its creator. The mural of the 70-year-old former Sunderland and Newcastle United manager is believed to have been pasted onto a wall in Union Street in the centre of Dudley, West Midlands, on Wednesday. It shows the former England boss lifting a partially battered orange chip – a local speciality – to his mouth, while wearing his trademark touchline suit and tie. A mural of former Newcastle and Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce eating chips (Image: Matthew Cooper/PA Wire) Allardyce, who was born and raised in Dudley and managed other clubs including Everton and Bolton Wanderers, has thanked whoever is behind the artwork. In a video message issued to ITV News, he said: 'Just seen the mural that has been sent of me in Dudley, my home town. Absolutely privileged to be honest with you, I thought it was a very good likeness. 'Chips look a bit hot, but I really enjoyed seeing it. Whoever did it, thank you very much!' A shopper passing the mural on Friday said it was nice to see something paying tribute to someone who was proud of their roots in Dudley. 'It's a bit odd as it doesn't have a slogan or any words, but it brightens up the place,' the man said. A local worker, who asked not to be named and admitted he did not know who was depicted in the mural, described it as 'the randomest thing I've ever seen'. The man said: 'Who is it? It's just weird, it doesn't make sense and it needs to go.' Allardyce signed for Sunderland as a player in July 1980 and was made club captain, but he lasted just one season on Wearside. He has had a colourful managerial career, which included a turbulent seven-month spell at Newcastle United from May 2007.

He successfully led Sunderland to safety from relegation after beating Everton 3–0 on May 11, 2016, a result which ensured the relegation of his former club Newcastle. Allardyce left Sunderland to become manager of the England national team, but left after just 67 days following allegations of malpractice.

Snoop Dogg is latest American celebrity to buy a stake in an English Football League club
Snoop Dogg told us long ago that he's got his mind on his money and his money on his mind. Now he's got his mind on using some of that money to become the latest American celebrity to invest in an English Football League team. On Thursday, Welsh club Swansea City announced that the hip-hop legend, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, is joining its ownership group. It was not disclosed what percentage of the club is now owned by Snoop Dogg or how much he invested in the team. The announcement came days after the "Gin & Juice" rapper helped reveal Swansea City's uniforms for the upcoming season by posing in the new home jersey in a video posted to Instagram. Read more: Snoop Dogg puts mind, money on bowl. Not that kind of bowl. A college football bowl game 'My love of football is well known, but it feels special to me that I make my move into club ownership with Swansea City," Snoop Dogg said in a statement released Thursday by Swansea City. 'The story of the club and the area really struck a chord with me. This is a proud, working class city and club. An underdog that bites back, just like me. 'I'm proud to be part of Swansea City. I am going to do all I can to help the club.' Swansea City plays in the EFL Championship, the league's second tier, which means Snoop Dogg's team will be competing against the likes of Wrexham, which was famously purchased in 2020 by actors Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, and Birmingham City, which boasts NFL legend Tom Brady as a minority owner. Read more: How many youth football players have six-figure deals? A 9-year-old in Snoop Dogg's league does Other famous Americans who own stakes in EFL teams include Lakers superstar LeBron James (Liverpool) and former NFL star J.J. Watt and his wife and former NWSL star Kealia Watt (Burnley). Once a polarizing gangsta rapper and now a beloved pop culture icon, Snoop Dogg has expressed interest in owning a soccer team before. The "Drop It Like It's Hot" rapper told the Daily Record in 2012 that he wouldn't mind purchasing a stake in a specific Scottish club. 'I see how passionate Celtic fans are about their team," Snoop Dogg said, "and I could see myself making an investment if any of the board wanted to sell.' Read more: How Snoop Dogg became America's sweetheart at the Paris Olympics He added: 'The boxes at Celtic would never be the same once I have hosted a party there.' Now Snopp Dogg is finally a club owner, and Swansea City is happy to have him. 'To borrow a phrase from Snoop's back catalogue, this announcement is the next episode for Swansea City as we seek to create new opportunities to boost the club's reach and profile," the club said in a statement. 'Snoop's colossal global fanbase and audience will certainly help us do that, and he has made clear to us throughout this process just how excited he is at the prospect of joining the club. ... We expect his involvement to support us putting as competitive a team as possible out on the field."
