But “families need support,” and relatives aren’t always nearby and available, Clinton said. “Nobody really knows what happens in a marriage except the two people in it, and every marriage I’m aware of has ups and downs – not public,” she said. Clinton said she would never tell anyone else to stay in a marriage or leave it. We have a good time sharing this life that we’ve lived together for now nearly 50 years of marriage,” Clinton said. You feel like it’s the entire world, but in my case, it was the world,” she said.

New York CNN —Following the success of Connections and Wordle, the pressure was on for the New York Times to find its next hit game. It “bubbled up as a version of a word search that was true to the New York Times’ games,” Knight said. The Times’ research of its subscribers found that Wordle players also solve word search games, making Strands a natural addition to its lineup. That’s another part of the game, Knight said, because it challenges some people not to use the hints. Times’ Games app lets people play some puzzles, like Wordle and Strands, for free.

If you weren’t able to watch the finals on Thursday night, here are three takeaways.
