Edward & Wallis: The Bahamas Scandal — Revealed RTÉ2, 8.30pm Fascinating documentary focusing on the Duke and Duchess of Windsor's period in the Caribbean, where they were meant to safely see out World War II. However, as once secret documents reveal, it turned into a disaster caused by extravagant spending and controversial behaviour. Empire of the Sun RTÉ One, 3pm Steven Spielberg's wartime drama is based on JG Ballard's semi-autobiographical novel.

Squid Game Netflix, streaming now Brace yourselves… In the wildly anticipated third and final season of Squid Game, Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae, aka player 456) returns. Haunted by incremental loss, he's determined to end the deadly competition once and for all. His clash with the enigmatic Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) escalates into a (surprise, surprise) grave battle of strategy and morality, as new games and old enemies collide. With the expected level of twists — including a baby being added to the mix and the viral Gachapon craze (plastic vending balls to you) putting in a pivotal appearance — the stakes are high. As surviving players face progressively brutal choices, the line between justice and tainted vengeance increasingly blurs. Can humanity survive the harshest reality? As the world awaits the final answer, writer-director Hwang Dong-hyuk promises a powerful conclusion to the global phenomenon. I think we'll be the collective judges of that. The Charles Ponzi Story AppleTV+, streaming now We've all heard of Ponzi schemes, but what do you know of their namesake? He was a broke immigrant based in 1920s Boston, who rocketed to wealth and infamy in mere months by orchestrating what would become known as the infamous scheme, one of history's boldest financial frauds. For more stories inspired by true events, try Smoke starring Taron Egerton, John Leguizamo and Greg Kinnear. Countdown Prime Video, streaming now Nary a Rachel Riley or a giant clock in sight in this LAPD-set moody number.

Merriam-Webster hops on the Wordle train with new daily puzzle game
Following in The New York Times' footsteps, Merriam-Webster launched a new daily puzzle game called Revealed. The free browser game has players trying to guess a topic from a description filled with redacted words. Considering that Merriam-Webster is behind the world's most iconic dictionary, it makes perfect sense that it would eventually come up with a word game of its own. Though its coming in years after Wordle, a hit that inspired countless daily puzzle games, first took off, Revealed is a clever game in its own right that's worth checking out. Recommended Videos Here's how it works. Each day, players are shown a sheet of paper with a category, such as Arts & Culture, at the top of the page. Below that is an encyclopedia entry where several words are blacked out. Players need to type in what the page is describing by using context clues. That's difficult at a quick glance, but that's where hints come in handy. Each day, players can use up to seven reveals, each of which will uncover a redacted word. Players can also reveal a letter of the topic using a hint. The goal is to guess the topic using as few hints as possible. REVEALED: A Daily Puzzle GameGuess the topic using the fewest reveals and hints! — Merriam-Webster (@ 2025-05-21T13:41:20.902Z So as to not rob you of a real solution, I'll make up an example here. Let's say that that the answer to a puzzle one day is Super Mario Bros. You'd see a page that starts with something like 'Blank is a blank blank released in blank.' You won't be able to reveal that first blank, but say you choose to reveal the second. You'll get the word video, which might clue you in to the fact that the second is game. Rather than wasting a precious reveal confirming that, maybe you'll choose to reveal the next one instead to get the year. You'll do that throughout the page until you feel like you have enough information to make a guess. At the end, you'll get to see your final stats and compare how you did with other players. Lifetime stats like your completion rate and streak are recorded too. If that all sounds enticing, you can try Revealed for free now on Merriam-Webster's website. And if you want more games like it, check out our list of the best games like Wordle.
