If you like playing daily word games like Wordle, then Hurdle is a great game to add to your routine.
There are five rounds to the game. The first round sees you trying to guess the word, with correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters shown in each guess. If you guess the correct answer, it'll take you to the next hurdle, providing the answer to the last hurdle as your first guess. This can give you several clues or none, depending on the words. For the final hurdle, every correct answer from previous hurdles is shown, with correct and misplaced letters clearly shown.
An important note is that the number of times a letter is highlighted from previous guesses does necessarily indicate the number of times that letter appears in the final hurdle.

These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

Today's NYT Strands hints are easy if you're a gamer.
Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game, requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There's always a theme linking every solution, along with the "spangram," a special, word or phrase that sums up that day's theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.
SEE ALSO: Mahjong, Sudoku, free crossword, and more: Play games on MashableBy providing an opaque hint and not providing the word list, Strands creates a brain-teasing game that takes a little longer to play than its other games, like Wordle and Connections.
If you're feeling stuck or just don't have 10 or more minutes to figure out today's puzzle, we've got all the NYT Strands hints for today's puzzle you need to progress at your preferred pace.

Wordle eventually became so popular that it was purchased by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even livestream themselves playing.

Not the day you're after? Here's the solution to yesterday's Wordle.
As someone who tests new vacuums every month, I could easily make a case for why robot vacuums are better or why cordless vacuums are better. If you're having trouble deciding, my ultimate advice is always just to get both — I promise there are budget-friendly ways to do so, especially when so many good vacuums are on sale for Prime Day.
Should I get a robot vacuum or stick vacuum?A robot vacuum is the way to go if you know, deep down, that the only way your home will be vacuumed every day is if a robot does it. A cordless vacuum is the way to go if you're picky about cleanliness and find the chore to be cathartic rather than tedious. If you feel passionately about one side, there are plenty of deals on splurge-worthy vacuums that I've tested like the Dyson V15 Detect Extra or Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete.
But most people can probably see themselves wanting access to both types of vacuums, depending on how busy their day is. In that case, I'd recommend splitting your vacuum budget. Instead of spending $700 to $1,000 on one really nice vacuum, you could buy a budget-friendly stick vacuum like the $269.99 Shark Clean & Empty and a budget-friendly robot vacuum like the $399.99 Dreame D30 Ultra CE. Both are still incredibly powerful for their price, and there will be a ton of mix-and-match options as more vacuum deals pop up through the end of Prime Day on June 27.
Best cordless vacuum deal Opens in a new window Credit: Shark Shark PowerDetect Speed — Luxe Collection $399.99 at SharkNinjaFor years, we've been conditioned to shove ugly vacuums into closets when not in use — or let the plasticky gray or black designs sit out in the living space, regardless of how badly they clash with our decor. That changed when Shark released its Luxe Collection at the beginning of June. Its powerful self-emptying PowerDetect Speed stick vacuum now comes in four chic earth tones: Oatstone, Harbor Slate, Walnut, and Sagewood. They're all $100 off at SharkNinja.
The Sagewood vacuum matches my jewel-toned living room deliciously. Credit: Leah Stodart / Mashable If I'm going to let a vacuum be this visible, it needs to be this pretty. Credit: Leah Stodart / MashableNot only are these Shark PowerDetect Speed models the prettiest vacuums I've ever seen, but the Shark PowerDetect Speed is the best cordless vacuum for pet hair on carpet that I've ever tested. The suction power is palpable in your hand, but it's not so intense that the vacuum gets jammed on carpet. All debris is automatically emptied into the storage dock each time you hang it up, so your next cleaning session will always start with a clean slate. You'll easily be able to see just how much gunk was sucked up from each room, specifically.

I tested and loved the Eufy C28 when it came out in February 2026. And I have a feeling it'll remain one of my most recommended robot vacuum and mop combos for the next year or so.
The Eufy C28 is probably the most affordable roller mop robot vacuum you'll find, and easily the most heavy-duty mopping robot vacuum out there this season. The fluffy roller spans the entire bottom of the vacuum and rinses itself with fresh water as it's mopping, making it a far more reliable choice for soaking up large liquid spills (without smearing them around) than other cheap mopping robot vacuums. Its self-emptying dock also washes and dries the mop after each cleaning, so it's easier to forgive how painfully loud it is.

It's no surprise that Amazon's Prime Day sparks an avalanche of competing sales. At this point, Amazon has basically created a new Black Friday-type event for the summer. Best Buy and The Home Depot run competing sales, and Target's is coming soon. Target Circle Deal Days is meant to celebrate the big box store's most dedicated shoppers, bringing a whole lot of savings into a four-day span.
So, what should you expect from Target Circle Deal Days 2026? While the sale hasn't officially started, the retailer has teased the deals to come, which includes up to 40% off on daily deals — plus some free treats from Starbucks. If you're a fan of the bullseye brand, here's everything to know about the Target Circle Deal Days event.
When is Target Circle Deal Days?Target's Circle Deal Days runs June 23 to 26, the exact same time as Prime Day. However, unlike Prime Day, which takes place exclusively online, you can shop Target's Sale in person, too.
What deals to shop during Circle Deal DaysWhile we wait for Target Circle Deal Days to go live on June 23, we're anticipating the deals to come. Here's what Target says to expect:
On June 23, get a free Starbucks cookie or coffee at Starbucks Cafes inside Target stores
Like Prime Day, which requires a Prime membership to shop, you must be a Circle member to take full advantage of Target's Circle Deal Days. The good news is, unlike Amazon's paid membership, Circle membership is totally free and essentially pays you back just by shopping at Target.
There is a paid membership option at Target, Circle 360, which is more similar to a Prime or Walmart+ membership. Circle 360 gets you unlimited same-day delivery, free two-day shipping, and an extended two-day windows. Normally $99, during Circle Deal Days, subscribe to Circle 360 for just $49.
I knew I was in trouble when I saw the first images of the Fitbit Air. I was smitten from the beginning. I’m all about simple and non-flashy wearable tech, so the Fitbit Air was speaking to me, personally. Then I saw the $99.99 price and stopped breathing for a second. Google’s first take on a faceless fitness tracker launched recently, and I’ve worn it nonstop for nearly a month to test out its features.
Google offers several bands for the Fitbit Air including a silicone Performance Band. Credit: Lauren Allain / MashableMy favorite element of the Fitbit Air has to be how it feels to wear. By far, it’s the most comfortable smartwatch or fitness tracker I've ever experienced. And since this is an honest review, I even like the Google AI fitness coach, which has given me almost daily workouts and has kept me on track more than any other fitness routine I’ve tried in recent years. Here are my thoughts about the budget-friendly Fitbit Air and who should consider owning one.
Worth the $100 for the comfort and simple looksGoogle designed the Fitbit Air to feel as if you’re wearing nothing, and I can confirm this is the most comfortable thing I’ve worn on my wrist. I’ve been wearing my beloved CMF Nothing Watch 3 Pro for months now, but I set it aside to test the Fitbit Air. The difference in comfort, size, and weight on my wrist was significant, especially while sleeping.
The Fitbit Air is tiny compared to my CMF Nothing Watch 3 Pro. Credit: Lauren Allain / MashableThe Fitbit Air weighs 12 grams or 0.03 pounds. I don’t notice that I’m wearing it during the day or while sleeping. That’s about half the weight of the popular faceless fitness tracker, the Whoop 5.0, which clocks in at 26.5 grams.
I took off the Fitbit Air to shower and swim in saltwater. That’s not necessary since it’s water-resistant up to 50 meters, but Google recommends taking it off to shower, as soaps could cause damage. Other than that, I wore it nonstop and got several compliments on the look. Some friends at dinner even assumed it was a bracelet and not a fitness tracker.
Week-long battery life and quick rechargingGoogle claims the Fitbit Air will get up to seven days of battery life on a single charge, and they weren’t lying. In my testing, I got a bit over eight days of wear before my watch got to about 4 percent and I set it on the charger to make sure I didn’t miss a night of tracking sleep. For comparison, the Apple Watch 11 gets about 24 hours of battery life per charge.
The brain of the Fitbit Air easily pops in and out of the bands. Credit: Lauren Allain / MashableIn addition to the impressive one-week battery life, the Fitbit Air takes hardly any time to recharge. On my first test, I reached a 100 percent charge in 67 minutes. That dropped to 65 minutes on my second recharge. After just 10 minutes of the Fitbit sitting on the charger, it had reached 44 percent.
Because of this excellent battery life and quick recharging, you don’t have to worry about skipping a night of sleep tracking or missing out on steps on account of the fitness tracker recharging.
Google Health Premium kind of rocksI tested the Fitbit Air with Google Health Premium, which comes free for the first three months. After that, it costs $9.99 per month or $99.99 for an annual plan. Built with Gemini, Premium comes with advanced AI features like the ability to ask Coach health and fitness questions, dive into mindfulness sessions, and get a customized weekly fitness plan. I told Coach I was focused on getting stronger and lowering my resting heart rate, and it popped out a five-session plan each week that incorporated my Hydrow rowing machine.
The Google Coach formulated a weekly fitness plan for me that was simple to adjust. Credit: Screenshot: Google Health Video of each activity helps with understanding each workout or stretch. Credit: Screenshot: Google HealthI’m not heavily on the AI train, so I’m a bit ashamed to say I love Google Health Premium, specifically the personalized workouts. I grew up in a Catholic school, which is to say, I’m a hardcore follower of the rules. So when the Google Coach told me to stretch, row for 20 minutes while keeping my heart rate in zone 2, and then stretch to cool down, I damn well did it. And that was enough to majorly up the frequency of my workouts.
Sleep, nutrition, and hydration tracking on the Fitbit Air are exceptionalWe’re all looking for a fitness tracker that gives us great sleep metrics in detail and automatically detects napping. Since I barely noticed wearing the Fitbit Air, I’m giving this the award of my new favorite sleep tracker. The detailed sleep metrics are insightful, and with each night I wear it, they get even better since Google is getting used to my sleep norms.
The Fitbit Air did an accurate job at automatically detecting naps. Credit: Screenshot: Google Health Testing out the ability to capture a photo of food to log in the app. Credit: Screenshot: Google HealthGoogle also lets you track nutrition with the Fitbit Air, and that can be as easy as scanning a barcode or taking a photo of your plate. It even breaks down macro goals, so you can aim for the ideal amount of carbs, fat, and protein each day. Hydration tracking is also simple, and Coach would even send me a reminder to get my ounces in before it was time to wind down for the night, since I have a tendency to chug 20 ounces right before bed, leading to a midnight wake-up.
Like all AI-driven tech, the Fitbit Air has some flawsNo AI is perfect, and when testing the Fitbit Air, I landed in some errors. I skipped my daily workout, and Coach asked me if I did any other activity. When I said I had picked blueberries in the yard in the afternoon (gotta be some yoga moves in there), the Fitbit said it had logged that I ate one cup of blueberries. While that was probably true, I was trying to log light movement.
In all fairness, I did probably eat one cup of blueberries while picking. Credit: Screenshot: Google HealthI also noticed some inaccuracies when working out. Each Fitbit Air workout crafted by Coach begins with a warmup, which is usually stretching. Start the workout, and the app shows you a video of a person doing the stretch, which is incredibly helpful. However, the written description of the stretch didn’t always match the movements the person was doing in the video.
And of course, using AI health and fitness is not meant to be a replacement for getting professional medical care.
Is a screen-less fitness tracker right for you?It took me a while to get accustomed to wearing something on my left wrist that did not tell me the time. I’m used to it now, but I could see this driving some people nuts. However, I prefer not to have instant access to my emails or text messages, so the faceless design is my ideal, though I understand it’s not for everyone.
In a way, the Fitbit Air is a great option if you’re heading more into the analog life and you’ve Bricked your phone, for example. But because there’s no face, everything about the Fitbit Air is done via the app, which is located on (you guessed it) your phone. So while you won’t get texts on your wrist, you do have to look at your phone to check steps, heart rate, and other metrics.
Is the Fitbit Air worth it?I’d recommend the Fitbit Air to anyone who likes the idea of an affordable fitness tracker that doesn’t double up as a smartwatch. It’s a simple fitness tracker that’s comfortable to wear and includes plenty of health and fitness tracking. It’s also one of the budget-friendly options, costing $99.99. However, I found the added features from Google Health Premium to be well worth the price, so add on another $99.99 per year for access to those deeper insights.
I don’t think the Fitbit Air is great for people who are strongly anti-AI. The benefits of health and fitness tracking lean heavily on AI. At times, it felt creepy to get a Google Health notification that confirmed I had arrived on vacation at my destination and had already gone for a walk on the beach.
Google Fitbit Air $99.99 at AmazonTesla, one of several businesses owned by now-trillionaire Elon Musk, has been implicated in another deadly crash involving the vehicles' autopilot driving mode.
On June 19, a driver in a Tesla Model 3 crashed into a Texas home, killing a 76-year-old female resident. According to Harris County Sheriff's authorities, the driver was using "an automated driving assistance system" that failed to remain in its lane and instead veered into the residence at a deadly speed. The driver did not show signs of drug or alcohol impairment, according to reports.
SEE ALSO: SpaceX stock price: Where it stands, what you need to knowIt's not yet confirmed if the driver had attempted to break or disengage the autopilot mode before the crash.
Tesla has faced several legal fights over its fleet of self-driving vehicles and robotaxis, including a 2025 decision that found the company partially responsible for a fatal autopilot-related crash in Florida. Despite regulator pushback, the company has fought to retain the right to refer to its systems, including Tesla's Full Self-Driving Capability (FSD), as an "autopilot" mode.
Days before the Texas accident, European traffic safety authorities accused Tesla of exaggerating the safety record of FSD vehicles in documents presented to regulators in Switzerland and the Netherlands. The document suggested that FSD fleets could have "saved 32,000 lives and prevented 1.9 million injuries" in the U.S., Reuters reported, but independent researchers told the publication that the claims are misleading.
While autonomous vehicle fleets are rapidly expanding across the U.S., many riders are still skeptical about their safety. On June 18, robotaxi giant Waymo announced it was recalling 3,900 vehicles after several incidents in Arizona and California showed the cars' self-driving software failed to recognize ramp closures and construction zones.
On Sunday, House of the Dragon's Harry Collett watched hundreds of fans witness his onscreen death. But first, he DJed for them.
SEE ALSO: 'House of the Dragon' Season 3, episode 1: Let's talk about that major deathHBO celebrated House of the Dragon's Season 3 premiere with a rooftop viewing party of the episode at New York City's Pier 17.
Before the screening began, treating fans to the spectacular Battle of the Gullet (including the tragic death of Collett's Jacaerys Velaryon), the event featured DJ sets from Mister Sunday, Marc Kinchen, and Collett himself, sporting a House of the Dragon-themed soccer jersey.
For people who didn't know what was in store for Jace, Collett's DJing was a fun way to ring in the new season. For people who knew what was coming, it felt like a rager before a funeral.
It didn't help that the graphics on the screen behind Collett foreshadowed his character's fate. The screen read "Harry Collett" against a watery background littered with ship wreckage, hinting at the Battle of the Gullet and how Jace dies: clinging to driftwood. Not cool, graphics designers! I wanted to boogie to Cheryl Lynn's "Got To Be Real," not be reminded of Jace's impending death!
The good vibes from the DJ sets shifted once the episode began, with the energy moving from party mode to House of the Dragon mode. Attendees locked in harder than Jace locking Rhaenyra (Emma D'Arcy) in Dragonstone. (Too soon?) Watching alongside a group of passionate people, you could hear watercooler moments being born in real-time.
Fans applauded as Rhaena (Phoebe Campbell) claimed Sheepstealer, screamed at Aemond (Ewan Mitchell) and Alicent's (Olivia Cooke) upsetting kiss, and experienced non-stop panic attacks throughout the entire Battle of the Gullet.
When Rhaena crashed the Gullet, cheers erupted. But when Sheepstealer went rogue, those cheers turned to anguished yells. Elsewhere, Alyn of Hull's (Abubakar Salim) takedown of Sharako Lohar (Abigail Thorn) earned satisfied hoots and hollers, which faded into despair as viewers reckoned with the fact that Corlys Velaryon (Steve Toussaint) might be dead.
Harry Collett gives a speech after a "House of the Dragon" premiere screening. Credit: Gabe YehIt all culminated in Jace's death, which earned the loudest (and most pained) shouts of the night. As sad as it was to see the poor prince peppered with arrows, Boromir-style, hearing these reactions was a reminder of the communal power of TV, especially event TV like House of the Dragon. It's just more fun to watch with other people, to experience these blistering highs and lows together, even if what you're watching is a beloved character sink to his watery grave.
While the night ended poorly for Jace, the same was not true for Collett.
After the screening, he returned to the stage, with the screen now reading "All men must die." On the one hand, ouch. On the other hand, who else gets to say they DJed their own funeral?
"Thank you for accepting me as your Jace for the past five years," Collett told the audience. "It's honestly been the job of a lifetime."
Collett went to cut a large Iron Throne cake with — what else? — a giant sword.
After the cake had been thoroughly massacred, he gave fans one last tease of what's to come in a post-Jace House of the Dragon: "I hope you enjoy the rest of Season 3, because it's an absolute banger."
TL;DR: Through June 28, you can get Visual Studio Pro 2026 for life for only $33.
Opens in a new window Credit: Microsoft Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2026 $32.97Licensing Microsoft Visual Studio Pro is a constant cost for developers of all experience levels, but there’s actually a way out.

Since it began in 1930, the World Cup's most memorable moments are rarely the ones that end with a team lifting a trophy. And the 2026 FIFA World Cup is no exception.
So far, this tournament has been defined by its underdog celebrations: Curaçao fans erupting after their team walked away with a draw, Cape Verde exploding into a global fan favorite team in just two games, and lesser soccer powers like DR Congo, Haiti, Uzbekistan, and Egypt hitting milestones they've awaited for decades.
To bring you up to speed, here are our picks of the best underdog moments from this World Cup so far.
Curaçao celebrates its first World Cup point like a win This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.In Willemstad, Curaçao’s capital city, fans gathered to watch their national team play Ecuador in its first-ever World Cup. The match ended 0-0 — but for Curaçao, a draw still meant history. The team had earned its first point in the tournament standings.
That point mattered even more because of how the match played out. Curaçao had opened the tournament six days earlier with a 7-1 loss to Germany. Ecuador controlled most of the team's second game, finishing with nearly 30 shots and more than three expected goals.
But goalkeeper Eloy Room kept Curaçao in it, making 15 saves and helping the team hold on for the draw.
By the final whistle, Curaçao had not scored, but it had done enough to give fans something to celebrate. The country has a population of about 156,000, making it the smallest nation ever to play at a World Cup, so its presence at the tournament was already historic. Its first ever point made the moment feel even bigger.
Cape Verde becomes everyone’s favorite debut story This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.Cape Verde has been one of the easiest teams to root for at this World Cup, and not just because it is making its tournament debut.
The team, nicknamed the Blue Sharks, arrived with a fanbase already ready for the moment, with Cape Verdean communities around the world watching a small island nation see its name on soccer’s biggest stage.
But the games gave everyone even more reason to pay attention. Cape Verde held Spain to a 0-0 draw in its first-ever World Cup match, then followed it with a 2-2 draw against Uruguay. Kevin Pina scored the country’s first World Cup goal with a long-range free kick from 31 meters out, and Hélio Varela came off the bench to score the second-half equalizer.
The team has also found a breakout star in Vozinha, its 40-year-old goalkeeper. After helping shut out Spain, he became one of the viral names of the tournament, with his Instagram following jumping from around 50,000 to more than 15 million.
Vozinha's virality also brought attention to one of the tournament’s most touching off-field stories. The keeper revealed he was crying after the Spain game because his mother could not attend because of visa costs. But with some help from the State Department and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, she was able to get a visa in time for Cape Verde’s match against Uruguay in Miami.
That's not the only amazing underdog story in the Cape Verde team. Another player, an Irishman with dual nationality, found himself in the squad after being recruited by its coach on LinkedIn — via a DM he initially thought was spam.
With a final group match against Saudi Arabia still ahead, the Blue Sharks now have a chance to turn one of the tournament’s best stories into something even bigger, and potentially make it into the final 32 teams.
Iran left Los Angeles with a handwritten thank-you note This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.Not every touching moment has looked like fans running into the streets.
After Iran’s 0-0 draw with Belgium at SoFi Stadium, the team’s most-shared moment came from the locker room. Before leaving, Iran left behind a handwritten note thanking Los Angeles for its hospitality and thanking Iranian fans who gave their “heart, voice and soul.”
“We came to Los Angeles with pride, competed with honour, and leave with dignity,” the note reads.
The message stood out because Iran’s tournament has unfolded under unusual circumstances. The team has been based in Tijuana, Mexico, and traveling into the U.S. for matches because of restrictions around its stay, with some staff and officials reportedly banned from entering the country. Iran arrived in Los Angeles the night before the Belgium match, played at midday, and was expected to leave again that night.
On the field, Iran still managed to hold Belgium scoreless and leave Los Angeles with a point. Off the field, it left a note that gave the result a different kind of weight, turning a 0-0 draw into one of the tournament’s more human moments.
Uzbekistan lost, but still made history View this post on InstagramUzbekistan’s World Cup debut did not end with a win, but that was not the only thing people were watching for.
The game against Colombia marked the country’s tournament debut and the first-ever World Cup appearance by a Central Asian nation — and its first goal. The game drew public screenings and early-morning crowds, and gave fans a debut they had waited years to see, even with a 3-1 loss.
Haiti returned after more than five decades View this post on InstagramHaiti is back at the World Cup after a 52-year absence, and its return this year has been about more than just soccer.
The team also qualified despite playing every match away from home, which has made its presence in the tournament feel especially meaningful for Haitian supporters.
For fans, the World Cup gives Haiti a chance to be seen through football, pride, and family, rather than the crisis narratives that often surround the country in international coverage.
Egypt finally got its first World Cup win View this post on InstagramEgypt is not a tiny newcomer in the same way Curaçao or Cape Verde is, but its victory against New Zealand still belongs in this roundup — because the country has been waiting 92 years to win at the World Cup.
Mohamed "Mo" Salah, star of mighty club team Liverpool FC, helped Egypt beat the Kiwis 3-1, handing the African team its first-ever World Cup victory. Reuters reported that celebrations continued in Vancouver and in Cairo, where fans went into the streets even though the match ended around 6 a.m. local time.
I think I speak for everyone when I say that streaming prices are getting out of hand. Every year, the monthly fees go up, as does the number of services you need to watch the shows and movies you love.
Fortunately, a good chunk of these streamers will let you test the water before diving in and paying full price for their service. These trials give you the opportunity to sample the streaming library to decide whether it's right for you — or even binge-watch a whole season of a show for free. And watching something for free is a special type of dopamine hit.
SEE ALSO: The best TV shows of 2026 (so far), and where to stream themMost of the big dogs in the streaming world — Disney+, Peacock, Paramount+, and most recently, Hulu (RIP 30-day trial) — no longer offer free trials, following in the footsteps of Netflix and HBO Max. But plenty of other smaller, lesser-known services let you try before you buy. Plus, Prime Video's add-on subscriptions generally come with free trials. Here's a list of all of the streaming services that offer free trials in 2026, updated with the latest pricing and trial length details.
Best free trial: Prime Video Opens in a new window Credit: Prime Video Prime Video (30-Day Trial) Get Deal Why we like itPrime Video can sometimes be an afterthought, as it's just one perk of an Amazon Prime membership. However, the streaming service is actually home to plenty of excellent shows — like one of our favorite shows of 2026, Bait, as well as some of our favorites from the last few years, like Overcompensating, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and Fallout. Plus, you can't forget the library of hit movies, like Hedda, Sinners, Challengers, Wicked, Conclave, and Blink Twice.
It's $14.99 per month if you choose to subscribe to Prime or just $8.99 per month for Prime Video on its own. Either way, you'll get a free 30-day trial to kick things off. And the best part is that it's not just for newbies; returning Prime members are eligible for free trials as well. So if you cancel every so often, you'll be eligible for another trial period.

Days before his 39th birthday, legendary striker Lionel Messi gave Argentina fans an unbeatable gift — by becoming the top goalscorer in World Cup history.
Just one goal in Argentina's game against Austria would have put Messi on top of the all-time goalscorer list, at 17 goals. Messi managed two, scoring his second in the last minute of added-on stoppage time.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.Google was ready for the historic moment. Fans noted that searches for "Messi" produced a shower of virtual confetti from the search giant.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.Messi's 18th World Cup goal puts him two ahead of Miroslav Klose, a German player whose last World Cup was in 2014. That's how long we've been waiting for a new goal record.
One fan in the stadium, however, seems to have been preparing for this moment since 1926.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.During the game, Messi also missed a penalty kick — and it wasn't his first time. The Argentine striker hit another record when he became the first player to miss a penalty in three separate World Cups. But some fans argued Messi didn't want to claim the record via a penalty — and if anything, the miss made him more of a social media legend ...

Messi is the best short person of all time
— JP Acosta (@acosta32jp.bsky.social) June 22, 2026 at 12:02 PMSome fans wryly noted Messi has scored almost exactly the same goal multiple times in his club career.
Meanwhile, at least one Austrian was downhearted about his sartorial choices.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.Still, whether or not he is the GOAT, Messi needs to watch his back. Kylian Mbappe, France's top goalscorer, is sitting pretty on an all-time World Cup count of 14 goals — and has plenty of games left to go. As fans are quick to point out, Mbappe has nothing but praise and humility for his rival, recently declaring Messi a better player.
Mbappe vs. Messi World Cup final, anyone?
Amazon's annual Prime Day sale runs from June 23-26 this year. That's right, Amazon has shifted the event from mid-July to late June.
Without a doubt, Prime Day 2026 will be one of the biggest sales events on the shopping calendar, second only to Black Friday. This huge event will go hard on just about every category: You can expect significant savings on Apple MacBooks, limited-time price cuts on Bose headphones, and all-time lows on Samsung OLED TVs. Our professional deal hunters are ready and waiting to help you save, and we'll be cross-checking prices at Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart to make sure you get the lowest prices.
We've lined up all the best deals from Prime Day. Keep scrolling for the full schedule of events and the latest live updates, price drops, low-stock alerts, and news from the Mashable shopping team.
Oof. Ouch. Yikes. We now have an official price for the Valve Steam Machine, a pre-built console-esque gaming PC that's meant to live in your living room instead of under your desk — and it will cost you more than twice the price of a gaming console.
Here are the eye-popping numbers:
Steam Machine 512GB: $1,049
Steam Machine 512GB with controller: $1,128
Steam Machine 2TB: $1,349
Steam Machine 2TB with controller: $1,428
The device will go on sale starting June 29, and you can register for one now on Valve's store page.
Valve's price reveal coincided with several outlets sharing their reviews and impressions of the device based on pre-launch testing. The Verge, for one, found it to be a quality device, but with performance that roughly matches that of a PS5.
That's not the worst review in the world, though it needs to be emphasized that the PS5 is currently $599 and launched six years ago. On the other hand, the Steam Machine can play a wider variety of games (and do other PC-centric things, so long as you're tech-savvy enough).
Valve would not sell this device for more than $1,000 if it had any choice in the matter. PC hardware components have become exorbitantly expensive thanks to the push for AI data center reconstruction, a phenomenon we've come to refer to as RAMageddon.
A memory chip shortage is affecting everything in tech right now, and Tim Cook has admitted it will raise the price of Apple products. Even the aforementioned PS5 costs $100 more than it did at launch.
In short, Valve launched what seems to be a very good device ... at the worst possible time.
After a hot start with its IPO two weeks ago, SpaceX stock has seen almost all of its gains erased.
SpaceX stock has fallen for three consecutive trading days as of Monday, dropping 8 percent in one day alone. It is now trading at under $170 a share — roughly where it was on the day SpaceX went public.
Elon Musk's space exploration and AI company went public on June 12 with the biggest IPO in history, one which made Musk a trillionaire. On June 16, SpaceX stock hit a high of more than $225. Days later, SpaceX announced that the company had acquired AI coding agent Cursor. Shortly after the $60 billion acquisition announcement, SpaceX stock fell and has been tumbling ever since.
What's the problem with SpaceX stock?There are an increasing number of red flags on SpaceX stock that seem to be sending some investors running the other way — not to mention orange ones.
MSCI, the finance company and index provider, has slapped SpaceX with a score of one out of 10 in its “controversies” category. SpaceX has received an “orange flag” due to this score, which notes if a company is involved in one or more severe controversies.
SEE ALSO: Elon Musk seemingly found the cheat code for capitalism. The SpaceX IPO proves it.A score of zero out of 10 and a "red flag" would have been awarded if SpaceX was found to be “directly involved in one or more very severe ongoing controversy cases,” according to the Financial Times. For example, Volkswagen received a MSCI red flag in 2022 after allegations of forced labor at an assembly plant in China.
Worse for SpaceX was MSCI awarding the company with the lowest possible environmental, social and governance (ESG) rating, a Triple-C ESG rating. ESG is often used by investors and funds looking for the most ethical, least problematic stocks — helping them avoid tobacco companies and firearm manufacturers, for example.
Musk's company is "lagging its industry based on its high exposure and failure to manage significant ESG risks," MSCI notes. For example, SpaceX's IPO revealed $3 billion in new gas turbines for an AI data center project in Mississippi — where the company is already being sued for running gas turbines without an air permit.
SpaceX's Triple-C grade is the same one given to Russia, on MSCI's international government version of the scale, after the invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Other MSCI concerns include SpaceX's limiting of shareholder rights, its concentration of control (Musk has 40% of shares but 80% of voting rights), conflicts of interest with his other companies, and a lack of independent board members.
MSCI's ESG rating for SpaceX is likely to catch Musk's attention. Musk has previously lashed out when Tesla was removed from the S&P 500 ESG Index in 2022 due to claims of racial discrimination at the electric vehicle company, as well as scant details on Tesla's low-carbon strategy.
Back then, Musk called the whole ESG concept a "scam" that was "weaponized by phony social justice warriors" — so if history is any guide, expect a torrent of rage tweets direct at MSCI.
EARLY PRIME DAY DEAL: As of June 22, you can get the Apple Watch Ultra 2 (GPS + Cellular, 49mm) for $499, down from $799, at Amazon. That's a 38% discount or $300 savings.
Apple Watch Ultra 2 (GPS + Cellular, 49mm) $499 at AmazonAmazon's official Prime Day kickoff is still a day away, but the early markdowns are already live — including an all-time low on the Apple Watch Ultra 2.
SEE ALSO: Prime Day is almost here: We found 50+ deals on Apple, Sony, and Lego favorites you can shop earlyRight now, you can get the Apple Watch Ultra 2 (GPS + Cellular, 49mm) for $499, down from $799, at Amazon. That's a 38% discount or $300 savings. It's also the lowest price we've ever tracked on this model.
According to Mashable's Senior Editor, Stan Schroeder, the Ultra 2 looks identical to the original on the outside, but the internal upgrades are where it counts. This version gets you a much brighter 3,000-nits display for direct sunlight, a snappier S9 processor, and 64GB of storage. It also comes with sleep apnea detection and a battery that lasts 72 hours in low power mode.
While Black Friday still remains top dog when it comes to online shopping holidays, Amazon Prime Day follows close behind. Despite it being Amazon's official shopping celebration for Prime members, lots of other retailers run major counter-sales to try to cash in on some of that consumer traffic. But can any of these anti-Prime Day sales actually compete with the real deal? Which rival sales are worth shopping? We've broken it all down for you.
BTW, Amazon Prime Day runs from June 23 through 26 in 2026. Most competing sales overlap these dates in some capacity, but many last longer and/or begin before Amazon's big day. Whether you want to expand your horizons this Prime Day, score all the best deals across retailers, or avoid Amazon altogether (we get it), here's a master list of all of the best Prime Day rival sales to shop, with key dates and top deals to watch.
Best BuyKey dates to know: June 22 - June 28
Top deals to watch: laptops, TVs, gaming gear, headphones, small appliances
Best Buy is running a weeklong "Tech Fest" sale from June 22 to 28 in 2026. It's historically Amazon's biggest competitor when it comes to tech deals, with Amazon one-upping Best Buy by literal cents in many cases. Still, if you're looking for laptops, TVs, gaming gear, or small appliances, Best Buy is the spot to shop. The retailer's inventory is more comprehensive in these departments overall. Not to mention, Best Buy often stocks older devices that Amazon no longer carries. For instance, check out this $300 discount on a specced out Apple M4 MacBook Air.
WalmartKey dates to know: June 22 - June 28
Top deals to watch: home goods, floor care, toys, outdoor gear, budget TVs, Apple accessories
The anti-Prime Day Walmart Summer Deals event will run from June 22 to 28, matching Best Buy's sale. Walmart's past sales have highlighted some excellent deals on Apple accessories, budget TVs (the cheapest QLED TV we saw last Prime Day), floor care from top brands like Dyson and Shark, toys (including Lego), and surprisingly good outdoor gear.
TargetKey dates to know: June 23 - June 26
Top deals to watch: kitchen gadgets, books, outdoor gear, back-to-school essentials, clothing
Target is going head to head with Amazon this year, with its Circle Deal Days event running June 23 through 26. Like Amazon, you have to be a Circle member to shop the best deals. Unlike Amazon, it's free to join. As in previous Circle shopping events, this year's anti-Prime Day sale at Target will feature "Deal of the Day" offers, which are only available for 24 hours. Be on the lookout for these each day. Other notable offers include up to 45% off select kitchen gadgets from Cuisinart, Keurig, and Ninja, up to 45% off floor care from Bissell and Hoover, 40% off back-to-school essentials, and 40% off select women's clothing and beauty items.
The Home DepotKey dates to know: June 11 - June 24, June 25 - July 8
Top deals to watch: cordless tools, grills, lawncare, outdoor gear
The Home Depot kicked off a Father's Day sale earlier this month and it wraps up mid-Prime Day on June 24. From there, things will switch over to a 4th of July sale and run through July 8. If you're looking for cordless tools, lawncare equipment, outdoor cooking gear, or DIY tools and storage, this is the sale to shop. Early deals already include free cordless DeWalt tools, and we're likely to see more free stuff in the coming days.
