Today's ‘Wordle' #1477 Hints, Clues And Answer For Saturday, July 5th
How to solve today's Wordle. Looking for Friday's Wordle hints, clues and answer? You can find them here: I hope everyone had a lovely 4th of July holiday. As I write this post for Saturday, I am also in the middle of frantically preparing for our 4th of July barbecue, so I'm going to make it short and sweet. Huzzah! How To Solve Today's Wordle The Hint: Useful for hay, I guess. The Clue: This Wordle begins and ends with consonants. Okay, spoilers below! The answer is coming! . . . Today's Wordle Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here. CRIME didn't pay, which I should have known. 225 words remained, though I did have two yellow boxes. I tried mostly new letters with STEAK and got one new yellow box in the process. BEARD was lucky, giving me the green 'B' I needed, and at this point I honestly only could come up with one word, though Wordle Bot later told me there were two. Thankfully, BALER was the Wordle! (Not to be confused with BALLER). Huzzah again! We tied, so the Wordle Bot and I get no points for that and no points for guessing in four. Our July totals remain: Erik: -2 points Wordle Bot: 4 points The word "baler" comes from the verb "bale," meaning to make something into bales (bundles). "Bale" traces back to Middle English bale and Old French bale, from Old High German bala meaning 'bundle.' The suffix '-er' denotes an agent—so a baler is someone or something (like a machine) that makes bales. Let me know how you fared with your Wordle today on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook.

Emma Stone's 'New Face Reveal' Sets Tongues Wagging As Doctor Hints Actress Had 'Tasteful' Procedure
Emma Stone has gone viral for her stunning appearance at the "Eddington" premiere, even sparking rumors about a potential facelift. Top cosmetic doctor Jonny Betteridge has now weighed in on the matter, suggesting that the actress may have undergone subtle procedures, such as an upper blepharoplasty and mid-face lift. However, Emma Stone has never confirmed undergoing any enhancements but has attributed her look to skincare, using simple ingredients due to sensitive skin. Speculation is swirling online after Stone appeared at the Los Angeles premiere of her latest film, "Eddington," on June 26, looking youthful. The 36-year-old Oscar winner's refreshed appearance sparked a wave of commentary from fans, many pointing out what they described as a "very well executed" lift around her upper face. While the change could simply be the result of good makeup or a top-tier skincare regimen, some experts believe there may be more behind the transformation. Among them is Dr. Jonny Betteridge, a well-known London aesthetic doctor and founder of JB Aesthetics. In a viral TikTok video, cautioned, "Emma Stone New Face," Dr. Betteridge asked viewers: "Did you notice Emma Stone looking a bit different?" He then stated that "her face looked noticeably more defined and facelifted. Her brows sit higher, especially the tails, the eyelids are more visible, and her eyes have an almond-like shape." Emma Stone stuns in newly shared picture. — Film Updates (@FilmUpdates) June 27, 2025 Drawing comparisons to Emma's look from four years ago, Dr. Betteridge suggested that "these changes could be consistent with an upper blepharoplasty and an endoscopic temporal brow lift and mid-face lift." "(They) lift and tighten the mid to upper face, like the cheeks, temples, and brows, using small incisions and a tiny camera called an endoscope," he explained. Blepharoplasty, which Dr. Betteridge believes Stone may have undergone, targets the upper eyelids. By trimming away loose skin, the eyes can appear more open, alert, and youthful. For a more pronounced transformation, this surgery is often paired with a brow lift. This involves making tiny incisions hidden along the hairline and gently lifting the underlying facial muscles. The result is a reduction in sagging across the upper face, particularly around the forehead and eyes. According to Dr. Betteridge, these procedures are considered "minimally invasive" and are "typically done on people in their 30s to 40s who are showing mild to moderate signs of facial aging." Betteridge further speculated that Stone may have undergone a mid-face lift in addition to an upper blepharoplasty. He explained that this procedure typically involves incisions that "are well hidden in the hairline, temporal area, or inside the mouth, which helps to reduce visible scarring." Referencing recent research, Dr. Betteridge noted that Stone's appearance at the premiere closely resembled examples published in the 2024 issue of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. "These patients show similar anatomical shifts, lifted brows and mid-face, and an almond-like appearance to their eyes. And these are common results of an endoscopic facelift," he said, per the Daily Mail. However, he was quick to clarify that if any cosmetic work was done, it was done with finesse: "Whatever may have been done, it appears to be tasteful, elegant, and very well executed." Although Dr. Betteridge has suggested that Stone may have undergone cosmetic procedures, the actress herself has never confirmed or even hinted at such enhancements. The "La La Land" actress has remained tight-lipped about any tweaks and is far more vocal about her commitment to skincare. In a previous interview with Cosmopolitan, Stone shared that she has extremely dry and sensitive skin, which makes her highly selective about the products she uses. "I'm really allergic to a lot of stuff, so I can only use products with a single ingredient in it," she explained. She continued: "I use a cleanser, and sometimes I exfoliate with baking soda or brown sugar. I like experimenting. I love coconut oil and olive oil—I have a big bottle of it on my sink, and I put it all over my face and smell like it's sexy." Stone also has a known affinity for eye makeup, which can dramatically enhance the appearance of the upper face when applied correctly. "I've learned to fill in my eyebrows—I use an eyeshadow and a little brush to do them, which I enjoy...I wear mascara most days, but I do put on a little makeup every day because it helps me feel put together. But yeah, mascara is essential," she said. Over on X, several individuals gushed over Stone's look, with some praising her short hair and others insisting that she has had work done on her face. Someone wrote, "I had the biggest crush on her since Superbad; she's still looking amazing." Another stated, "She did something. She's now like 10 years younger." "Facelift looking stunning. Celebs don't have to age anymore," a third person said. One more person commented, "This short hair phase is so top tier. Emma Stone has the perfect face for a pixie grow-out."

Beyoncé lights up Washington with dazzling Fourth of July ‘Cowboy Carter' show
Forget fireworks. Beyoncé Knowles-Carter lit up the nation's capital this Fourth of July with her first "Cowboy Carter" concert in the Washington, D.C.-area. The Grammy-winning singer kicked off her July Fourth show at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland — five miles east of Washington, D.C — around 8:43 p.m local time. The concert marked her first of two shows at the stadium on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour. She is set to perform at the stadium again on July 7. "Happy Fourth of July, everybody. Today is all about freedom," she said, opening the show in an American flag floor-length coat over a matching bodysuit with sparkly fringe boots and a white cowboy hat. 🚨 MOTHEER — Beyoncé Press. (@beyoncepress) July 5, 2025 As fans know, Beyoncé first debuted her "Cowboy Carter" tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. Her shows have been filled with family, fashion, different music genres, and most notably country music and cultural commentary. The July Fourth show was no different. However, the added backdrop of the holiday made for an especially significant night — especially given the the messages and motifs pertaining to country music, America's complex past and its ongoing cultural reckoning. "The concept of Beyoncé having a show on the 4th of July in Washington D.C. performing, her album about celebrating Black Americanism… ICONIC," one fan wrote on X. Sir USA Davis. 🇺🇲 — Beyoncé Press. (@beyoncepress) July 5, 2025 And the electric energy and holiday spirit was kept alive throughout the entire night. Even a SirDavis whiskey bottle was seen dressed to match the theme. The tour has been a huge showcase of fashion and creativity. Each night, Beyoncé continues to blend high fashion and cowboy couture, keeping fans on the edge of their seats as they anticipate a new look. There's been many looks incorporating Western-glam: sparkly chaps, cowboy hats, boots and piles of fringe. NEW CLOSING LOOK EATS😭😭😭 — 𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗻𝘆🫧💚 (@beyoncegarden) July 5, 2025 And she continued to serve during the D.C.-area opener. Of course, Beyoncé first released her eighth studio album, "Cowboy Carter," in March 2024. It has since made history and broken multiple records. As Beyoncé's first country album, she deliberately featured country legends and emerging Black country artists alike. She became the first Black woman to win best country album at the 2025 Grammys and also took home album of the year. The nine-city tour will span the U.S. and Europe with the grand finale taking place in Las Vegas on July 26.
