The answers to today's Connections, game #643, are…

• YELLOW: IMPOSE, AS A PENALTY ASSESS, CHARGE, FINE, LEVY
• GREEN: CHECKOUT LINE IMPULSE BUYS CANDY, CHAPSTICK, CHARGING CABLE, MAGAZINE
• BLUE: MOVIES OF VARIOUS LENGTHS EPIC, FEATURE, FILM SERIES, SHORT
• PURPLE: ___ ROAD DIRT, HIGH, ROCKY, SILK

• My rating: Moderate
• My score: 2 mistakes

Thanks to PEG and SUE, my first thought today was the song Peggy Sue by Buddy Holly. Being a classic of the rock'n'roll era it did help guide me towards the Green group – although I did initially think I was looking for parts of a guitar, rather than the more general FEATURES OF STRINGED INSTRUMENTS.

SHARP PROTRUSION I got after making a mistake by thinking it was about heckling someone, so I had PEG instead of SPINE before then thinking it had something to do with hedgehogs – which was sort of correct.

My next mistake was thinking there was a group that was linked by dithering (oh, the irony) with MAY, MIGHT and WISH. It took me foolishly adding SUE and getting “one away” before I saw LITIGATION VERBS. A case of trial and error.

How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below.

What is NYT Connections?

NYT Connections is one of several increasingly popular word games made by the New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four items that share something in common, and each group has a different difficulty level: green is easy, yellow a little harder, blue often quite tough and purple usually very difficult.

On the plus side, you don't technically need to solve the final one, as you'll be able to answer that one by a process of elimination. What's more, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little bit of breathing room.

It's a little more involved than something like Wordle, however, and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to trip you up with tricks. For instance, watch out for homophones and other word games that could disguise the answers.

It's playable for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.

The answers to today's Strands, game #377, are…

• NOTEBOOK
• LANYARD
• TOTE
• DECAL
• SHIRT
• BOTTLE
• PENCIL
• SPANGRAM: SWAG BAG

• My rating: Moderate
• My score: 1 hint

In the UK there’s a famous businessman called Sir Alan Sugar (like Donald Trump he's made his name on our version of The Apprentice) who has a word he likes to use for the objects listed in today’s search. He calls it “toot”, in other words cheap items that have little value other than that you can add with marketing nous.

Anyone who’s been to a conference or launch event will be familiar with the SWAG BAG described and despite the fact that you know will never use the TOTE or BOTTLE (mainly on account of it being toot) you can’t help but be thrilled at receiving all this stuff for free. It’s a very strange transaction.

The best swag bags I ever got were at the end of the marathons I used to do; then you’d get really vital stuff like a banana, an energy bar and some water. In this kind of circumstance they’d never put in a PENCIL in, on the off-chance that some exhausted runner accidentally would eat it.

What is NYT Strands?

Strands is the NYT's not-so-new-any-more word game, following Wordle and Connections. It's now a fully fledged member of the NYT's games stable that has been running for a year and which can be played on the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.

I've got a full guide to how to play NYT Strands, complete with tips for solving it, so check that out if you're struggling to beat it each day.

The best streaming services have such a packed roster of new releases this weekend that I suspect some, if not all, of them will make the cut for your growing watchlists. Indeed, there's plenty to enjoy on Apple TV+, Disney+, Max, Netflix, and Prime Video over the coming days.

From an ambitious sci-fi flick starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, to the highly-anticipated streaming debut of a Disney blockbuster and the return of an adored fantasy series, I'm not even sure where I'll start with so many unmissable new movies and shows. Happy St Patrick’s Day weekend all! – Amelia Schwanke, senior entertainment editor

Moana 2 (Disney+)

Not to be outdone by its predecessor Moana , which is the most streamed movie of the past five years, Moana 2 was a box-office success in its own right. Even though it didn't score high enough to land a spot on our best Disney+ movies (its current critical Rotten Tomatoes rating sits at 61%), it was a hit among audiences, so it's the perfect escape this weekend whether you're a Disney fan or you want something to entertain the kids.

As I explored in my Moana 2 review, I had a fun time with it. However, I was saddened we didn't see enough of my favorite character, but considering there's even more Moana coming our way soon, hopefully that will change. – Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer

The Wheel of Time season 3 (Prime Video)

I've had a somewhat complex relationship with The Wheel of Time. Its first season was great but, in my view, the Prime Video fantasy series suffered from the so-called 'sophomore slump' with its second outing.

Thankfully, The Wheel of Time season 3 gets the live-action adaptation of Robert Jordan's beloved novel series back on track. You can read more about why I think it's a magical return to form for the Amazon TV Original in my review of The Wheel of Time's third season. Suffice it to say, it'll keep its place on our best Prime Video shows list.

The Electric State (Netflix)

Arguably the pick of the bunch when it comes to March's new Netflix movies line-up, The Electric State could've been a shoo-in for our best Netflix movies guide.

Unfortunately, the Mille Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt-starring sci-fi flick is a shockingly bad movie. Indeed, I didn't hold back in my review of The Electric State, which just goes to show that you can't just throw money at something (it cost a reported $320 million, for goodness sake!) and hope to make a good film. My advice? Go and read Simon Stålenhag's graphic novel namesake, or stream another of his book adaptations – Prime Video's Tales from the Loop TV show – instead. – TP

Adolescence (Netflix)

Adolescence is a new Netflix murder thriller with an interesting twist: each episode is filmed as if it's one continuous shot. Adolescence's official trailer doesn’t fully embrace its 'oner' style, I was immediately gripped by its timely premise about a 13-year-old boy who is arrested for murdering a girl at his school.

The four-part crime drama follows the boy’s family, therapist, and the police detective in charge of the case as they question what really happened. Adolescence features a star-studded British cast, with Stephen Graham and Erin Doherty joining forces once again after appearing together in A Thousand Blows earlier this year.

With 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, Adolescence goes down as one of the best Netflix shows as it touches upon timely issues of youth violence and society pressures of what it means to be masculine. – Grace Morris, entertainment writer

Dope Thief (Apple TV+)

When Apple TV+ released the trailer for Dope Thief, many couldn't help but compare the gritty new crime drama to The Wire, and I completely understand why. Not only are both series based on books, but they also focus on showcasing the blurred line between cops and criminals.

In Dope Thief, Brian Tyree Henry and Wagner Moura play two Philadelphia-based friends who pretend to be DEA agents to rob a house in the countryside that ends up being the base of the biggest hidden narcotics operation in the East Coast.

Created by Peter Craig, who's written the scripts for some of the best crime movies like The Town and The Batman, this series has the potential to be one of the best Apple TV+ shows. – AS

The Parenting (Max)

Max is killing it (no pun intended) with the horror releases lately. But, if it's some horror comedy you're after, The Parenting is sure to scratch that itch as it's far less intense than some of the best horror movies on Max, providing some light relief while giving genre fans something to dive into.

Having said that, it debuted to very mixed reactions as, at the time of writing, it holds a 50% critical Rotten Tomatoes score. That does mean it won't be on our best Max movies round-up but, if you want to make your own mind up about the divisive new movie about a 400-year-old poltergeist, it's probably worth checking out. – LB

Everybody's Live with John Mulaney (Netflix)

Emmy Award-winning comedian John Mulaney hosts this Netflix celebrity sit-down talk show with special guests and musical performances. Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney is scheduled for a 12-week run and airs live on the streaming service on Wednesdays at 7PM PT / 10PM EST in the US, 2AM GMT in the UK, and 1PM AEDT in Australia.

The programme serves as a follow-up to John Mulaney Presents: Everybody's in LA and the first episode, which aired on March 12, featured an all-star cast, including Michael Keaton, Joan Baez, Fred Armisen, Jessica Roy, and music from Cypress Hill. Although Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney has only just begun, it’s 100% on Rotten Tomatoes critical rating means it could give the likes of Jimmy Fallon a run for his money. – GM

• Ted Lasso season 4 is officially in the works for Apple TV+
• The announcement was made today (March 14)
• A fourth season has long been rumored to be in development

It's official: Ted Lasso is dusting off his AFC Richmond gear and returning for a fourth season on Apple TV+.

In a press release, Apple confirmed that it's kicked off development on another installment of one of its most successful TV Originals. Jason Sudeikis, who played the titular US soccer coach in the sports comedy's first three seasons, will reprise his multi-award-winning role in Ted Lasso season 4, too.

A post shared by Apple TV (@appletv)

A photo posted by on

In a statement accompanying the reveal, Sudeikis, who also executively produces one of the best Apple TV+ shows ever made, teased what to expect from the series' forthcoming chapter.

"As we all continue to live in a world where so many factors have conditioned us to ‘look before we leap',” Sudeikis wrote, "Season four [will see] the folks at AFC Richmond learn to 'leap before they look' [and] discovering that, wherever they land, it’s exactly where they’re meant to be."

"Ted Lasso has been nothing short of a juggernaut, inspiring a passionate fanbase all over the world, and delivering endless joy and laughter, all while spreading kindness, compassion and unwavering belief,” Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+ Head of Programming, also said in a statement. "Everyone at Apple is thrilled to be continuing our collaboration with Jason and the brilliant creative minds behind this show."

• FBI, CISA, and MS-ISAC publish new report on Medusa ransomware
• They claim the group struck hundreds of critical infrastructure firms
• Agencies share advice on how to stay safe

Hundreds of critical infrastructure targets have fallen victim to Medusa ransomware over the last four years, a new US government report has warned, urging organizations to apply known mitigations and minimize the risk of an attack.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation, the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC), have issued a joint report saying more more than 300 organizations in the critical infrastructure sector have already fallen prey to the infamous group

"As of February 2025, Medusa developers and affiliates have impacted over 300 victims from a variety of critical infrastructure sectors with affected industries including medical, education, legal, insurance, technology, and manufacturing," the report says. "FBI, CISA, and MS-ISAC encourage organizations to implement the recommendations in the Mitigations section of this advisory to reduce the likelihood and impact of Medusa ransomware incidents."

Mitigating risks

The recommendations include mitigating known vulnerabilities and making sure operating systems, software, and firmware are patched on time, segmenting networks to hinder attempts at lateral movement, and filtering network traffic by blocking access from untrusted origins.

Medusa first emerged in 2021, but since it was originally intended to be a closed ransomware variant, its success was somewhat limited. A few years later, the operation evolved into a Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) with an affiliate model, which propelled it into one of the most dangerous variants out there.

"Medusa developers typically recruit initial access brokers (IABs) in cybercriminal forums and marketplaces to obtain initial access to potential victims," the report claims. "Potential payments between $100 USD and $1 million USD are offered to these affiliates with the opportunity to work exclusively for Medusa."

Some of the more notable victims include the Minneapolis Public School District, which suffered a significant breach resulting in the exposure of sensitive information such as psychological reports and abuse allegations. Other affected sectors encompass healthcare, manufacturing, technology, legal, insurance, and education industries.

• Apple Music Classical is now available to stream via web browsers
• This is the first platform to receive a designated space for Apple Music Classical since iPad in 2023 and CarPlay in 2024
• There's been no news as to when Mac devices will get a native app for the service

Not only is Apple Music regarded as one of the best music streaming services, but it's home to a never-ending line of radio stations and alternative music services such as Apple Music Classical – which is now available to listen to via a web browser.

The web launch marks the next move in the service’s rollout to other devices, but we’re still waiting for Apple to launch a native app for its Mac lineup.

Global Director of Apple Music Classical, Anjali Malhotra, shared the news of the service’s web version in a release: “Apple Music Classical continues to innovate and expand on its mission to bring great musicians and their recordings to music lovers around the world all in one app. Now that the app is available on the web, Apple Music Classical’s catalog of over 5 million tracks and 50 million datapoints are now available for those who primarily use their desktops to listen to music".

Apple Music Classical launched on Android in 2023. (Image credit: Google/Apple)

Since Apple created its classical music service in 2023 after it bought the music streaming app Primephonic in 2021, Apple Music Classical has mirrored the functions of the standard Apple Music platform but has provided a specific space for fans of classical music to stream over five million tracks. The latest web version of the classical music service introduces a new way for subscribers to enjoy its entire catalog of playlists, composers, and essential period and genre spotlights, but it’s taken Apple a long time to get Apple Music Classical to where it is today.

When Apple first brought out its classical music streaming service a year and a half after its announcement, it was only available via its iPhone app, and it was this way for a little while before it was launched on Android. It seemed as though Apple was neglecting its own family of devices with how limited Apple Music Classical was at the time, but this changed a few months later when it arrived on iPad in November 2023. The last device to receive a designated app for Apple Music Classical was Apple CarPlay in 2024, but there’s still nothing for Mac devices.

So why has Apple Music Classical’s rollout spread taken over two years? The short answer is, we don’t know, and it’s a little strange. Though Apple has left Mac users in the dust once again, the online version of its classical music streaming service is, more or less, Apple’s way of bringing it to Mac devices. We can only venture a guess that Mac devices will be the next target for Apple Music Classical, but we wouldn't be surprised if it took Apple another two years to launch a native app for Mac.

• Silent Hill f has finally received a new trailer, courtesy of the latest Silent Hill Transmission showcase
• The game will be set in a fictional Japanese town in the 1960s
• No release date yet, but it's set to launch on PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PC

We finally have some new information on Silent Hill f, Konami's latest entry in the legendary psychological horror series.

For the first time since its announcement back in October 2022, Silent Hill f was granted more details via a dedicated Silent Hill Transmission showcase. We received a new three and a half minute trailer for the upcoming game, alongside details on its setting, story, and the artists involved in bringing its world to life.

Silent Hill f is set in the fictional Japanese town of Ebisugaoka, in the 1960s. The setting, as detailed in the Transmission broadcast, is greatly inspired by Kanayama's Gifu Prefecture, and we see several comparison shots of the game world juxtaposed against its real-world inspiration.

Silent Hill f's protagonist is Shimizu Hinako, a seemingly ordinary teenage girl who witnesses her hometown become engulfed in a strange fog. Pulled into this warped version of her town, she'll need to fight terrifying monsters, solve puzzles, and make crucial decisions in order to survive. The story summary concludes by stating Silent Hill f is ultimately "a tale about a beautiful yet terrifying choice."

Developed by Neobards Entertainment, which has previously worked as a support studio for Capcom's Resident Evil series, Silent Hill f also has some eye-catching talent attached to it. The game's story has been penned by Ryukichi07, author of legendary horror visual novel series Higurashi When They Cry.

Furthermore, creature and character design is being handled by Kera, a striking visual artist who has previously worked on Square Enix titles including Lord of Vermillion and the Romancing SaGa series. Renowned series composer Akira Yamaoka is also set to contribute music to Silent Hill f.

The premise of a Silent Hill game being set in Japan is, I feel, an incredibly compelling one. Going off the trailer, the tone greatly reminds me of the Siren series of horror games. I'm intensely curious to know more about this "beautiful yet terrifying choice" the game will have us make, and its theme of finding beauty in terror - and vice versa - has the potential to be endlessly interesting. Not to mention utterly terrifying.

There is no release date for Silent Hill f as of yet. However, the game is slated for release on PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. You can also wishlist it now on your platform of choice.

• Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege X has been unveiled
• It will be a free update that takes the popular tactical shooter free-to-play
• It brings new visual overhauls plus a new map and mode

Developer Ubisoft has unveiled Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege X, a successor to Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege that will be released as a free update.

Described as "the biggest evolution in Siege's history," Siege X is set to arrive in June 2025. A brand new reveal gameplay trailer has given us our first real look at the game in action, which you can see for yourself below.

In the trailer we see an all-new game mode: Dual Front. Following a unique 6v6 format, Dual Front will feature dynamic objectives and the ability to pick operators from both the attacking and defending teams from a curated roster of 35.

The game mode even has its own exclusive map and it looks absolutely massive. The pace of this mode definitely seems a lot higher than the more tactical gameplay that most players are used to.

Although I've dabbled with Siege over the years, I'm definitely more of a Call of Duty player and this mode looks like it might finally be enough to pull me away from Black Ops 6.

Siege X will also see major visuals enhancements brought to old maps, including new lighting, enhanced shadows, and 4K textures. At launch, Clubhouse, Chalet, Border, Bank, and Kafe will be improved, with more overhauls coming via future updates.

The trailer also showed off the new rappelling mechanics, which look much more fluid and will even allow you run horizontally and jump around corners.

We also now know that Siege X will be free-to-play, with new players getting access to Dual Front, Unranked, and Quick Play modes and the ability to earn up to 26 operators. You will be able to upgrade to one of the premium editions to unlocked ranked mode.

If you've already bought any version of Rainbow Six Siege then there's no need to worry either. You will retain all previously unlocked and even get some exclusive veteran rewards depending on the year you started playing.

A closed beta for Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege X is available now and will run until March 19 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC. You can sign up via the game's official website.

Netflix is home to all things Harlan Coben and will see its library of the author's TV adaptations expand once more with the new thriller Caught, which is coming to one of the best streaming services on March 26.

Recently, I was blown away by Netflix's eighth adaptation of Coben's, Fool Me Once, but was left disappointed by Missing You, so I've got big hopes that this latest thriller will be another hit and get added to our ever-growing best Netflix shows list.

The trailer has already (I guess you could say) caught my attention, especially since it has one key difference: it's a Spanish-language series, making it different from the other productions based on his beloved thriller novels. The trailer released for Caught has an English dub, and you can watch it below.

What is Caught about?

In Caught, our protagonist is reporter Ema Garay (played by Soledad Villamil), who is known for catching criminals that tend to evade justice, but her life takes an unexpected turn when she meets Leo Mercer (played by Juan Minujín).

Leo is a social worker who ends up being the main suspect in Ema's investigation of the disappearance of a 16-year-old girl. As Netflix's official plot synopsis says, this leads Ema to "unravel a web of interconnected mysteries and suspects".

As always, we're expecting a very intense watch, and there'll no doubt be plenty of twists and turns across the six-part series. I just hope that Caught will be an improvement on previous Coben TV adaptations.

• TikTok might be exploring a deal with Oracle in the US
• The app has until April 2025 to divest to a US company
• Oracle CEO Larry Ellison is a known Trump ally, and the companies have worked together in the past

As TikTok continues to face an uncertain future in the US, a new report suggests that the social media platform might use Oracle as its American cloud technology partner.

The app must finalize a sale to a US-based buyer by April 2025 to continue operating in the US, however, it’s uncertain whether the company will reach an agreement by the deadline.

TikTok has already been using Oracle’s cloud services since 2022 to store US user data, making it a logical choice rather than moving to an entirely new provider.

TikTok could live on in the US under Oracle

“Oracle has emerged as a leading contender to help run TikTok as part of a deal President Donald Trump is orchestrating to satisfy last year’s divest-or-ban law, say investors, bankers and former executives familiar with the Chinese tech giant,” a report from The Information states.

Despite the potential Oracle partnership, reports suggest ByteDance might still want to maintain some control over the app’s operations.

Politically, US President Donald Trump has shown support for Texas-based Oracle’s role in the deal. The company’s CEO, Larry Ellison, is a known Trump ally, and could have an advantage in securing a deal.

Despite the fact that plans are starting to formulate on US shores, it remains to be seen how the Chinese government will react to the sale of operations to a US-based company – or whether it will even be allowed. As the deadline looms closer, US citizens are set for a suspenseful wait to see whether they can continue using the app which supports creators and businesses across the world.

TechRadar Pro has asked TikTok and Oracle to share any details regarding a potential deal, but neither company immediately responded.
