Wordle Answer Today (February 18): Puzzle #1705 Confused You? Check Hints, & Solution

Wordle Answer Today: Wordle players were back again this Wednesday, February 18, trying their luck with a brand-new five-letter puzzle. The daily word game continues to be a favourite for millions, giving players a fun mix of thinking, guessing, and patience. Some people play just for fun, while others are serious about protecting their winning streak. Today’s Wordle leaned toward a slightly tricky meaning-based clue. The hints were helpful, but not too easy. If you’re still thinking about it or just want to confirm your guess, the answer and meaning are shared below. How To Play Wordle Wordle is easy to understand but not always easy to win. Players get six chances to guess one hidden five-letter word. After each guess, the tiles change colour and guide you forward: Green tiles mean the letter is correct and in the right spot. Yellow tiles mean the letter is in the word, but in the wrong place. Grey tiles mean the letter is not in the word at all. By paying attention to these colours, players slowly remove wrong letters and move closer to the correct answer. This simple system is what makes Wordle fun for both kids and adults. Hints That Helped Crack The February 18 Puzzle Here are the clues players received today: A builder of sorts. The word begins with M. The word ends with L. The word has 2 vowels. All five letters are unique. Using “glove” as a starting word turns three letters yellow. These hints helped many players narrow down their choices and land on the right word. Wordle Answer Today (February 18) The answer to today’s Wordle is: MOGUL. A “mogul” is a person who is very powerful and influential. This word is often used for people in business, finance, or entertainment. A mogul is someone who builds big ideas, leads others, and shapes an entire industry. They are decision-makers and trend-setters. If you guessed it correctly, great job. And if you didn’t, don’t worry, tomorrow’s Wordle will give you a fresh chance to try again.

The event was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Bharat Mandapam. As high-level meetings continue behind closed doors, the government has announced an important update related to the public exhibition running alongside the summit, aimed at easing public access and improving visitor experience. India AI Impact Expo 2026 Extended For Public Till February 21 The government has extended the India AI Impact Expo 2026 by one additional day, allowing the exhibition to remain open to the public on Saturday, 21st February.  The decision was taken to provide a more comfortable experience for visitors amid strong public interest. Organisers have also confirmed that expo timings have already been extended up to 8 PM to accommodate higher footfall. At the same time, the exhibition will remain closed to the public on Thursday, 19th February. Officials cited access-restricted events scheduled on that day as the reason, stating that the move is intended to avoid inconvenience and manage security arrangements.  The expo will be open to the public on 20th and 21st February, giving visitors additional time to explore AI-related displays, demonstrations, and informational exhibits focused on technology, governance, and innovation.

Ramadan 2026: New Working Hours In UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar And Other Countries

Ramadan 2026: New Working Hours In UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar And Other Countries

As Ramadan 2026 is expected to begin around February 19, subject to the sighting of the crescent moon, offices across the Gulf and other Muslim-majority nations are preparing for a shift in routine. For millions observing the fast, the holy month brings spiritual focus and discipline. For governments and businesses, it also signals revised working hours and updated labour guidelines. But how exactly do these changes differ from country to country, and what should Indian expats and foreign businesses know? ALSO READ: Ramadan 2026 Calendar: City-Wise Sehri And Iftar Timings For Delhi, Mumbai, Lucknow, Hyderabad And More Why Working Hours Change During Ramadan Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, requires fasting from dawn to sunset. With no food or drink during daylight hours, energy levels can fluctuate. To ease the physical strain and support religious observance, many governments formally reduce working hours. However, the approach is not uniform. Some nations mandate shorter daily hours. Others cap weekly totals. In certain countries, flexibility is left to employers. Gulf Region: Defined Legal Limits Saudi Arabia In Saudi Arabia, Muslim employees work a maximum of six hours per day or 36 hours per week during Ramadan under labour law provisions. Public sector offices typically follow the six-hour schedule. For multinational employers, this often requires careful planning, especially in mixed teams of Muslim and non-Muslim staff. Qatar In Qatar, employees may work up to 36 hours per week during Ramadan, and this rule applies to all staff. The government has confirmed that public sector employees will work five hours daily throughout the holy month under Circular No. (1) of 2026. Within the Qatar Financial Centre, employees who observe the fast are entitled to shorter hours, provided daily work does not exceed six hours. United Arab Emirates In the United Arab Emirates, private-sector working hours are reduced by two hours per day during Ramadan under Labour Law provisions. This applies to all employees, regardless of religion. The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) confirmed the two-hour daily reduction for 2026, adding that companies may implement flexible or remote schedules as long as total hours remain within the reduced cap. Public sector timings vary by emirate. In Dubai, government employees will work from 9:00am to 2:30pm Monday to Thursday and 9:00am to 12:00pm on Fridays, according to a circular issued by the Dubai Government Human Resources Department. In Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), Muslim employees receive a 25% reduction in daily working hours without salary cuts. In the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), Muslim employees are not required to work more than six hours per day during Ramadan. Other Gulf Nations Bahrain: Muslim employees are limited to six hours per day or 36 hours per week. Oman: A maximum of six hours daily or 36 hours weekly for Muslim employees. Kuwait: The weekly cap is 36 hours for all employees, regardless of religion; public sector staff typically work six hours daily. Southeast Asia: Flexible Adjustments Indonesia: In Indonesia, there is no nationwide mandatory cut for private companies. However, many employers allow flexible schedules or close earlier. Government offices usually adjust their hours. Malaysia: In Malaysia, private-sector reductions are not universally mandated. Still, many businesses introduce flexible shifts, while government departments typically shorten working hours. Egypt And Pakistan: Shorter Days Egypt: Government offices usually operate for five to six hours daily during Ramadan, with many private firms following similar patterns. Pakistan: Public sector institutions typically function for five to six hours per day, and numerous private companies mirror this schedule. Turkey: Employer-Led Flexibility In Turkey, there is no formal legal reduction in working hours during Ramadan. However, many employers adjust office timings so employees can start and finish earlier. What This Means For Expats And Businesses For Indian expats and foreign companies operating in the Gulf, Ramadan is no longer just a calendar event, it is an operational shift. Reduced hours, overtime compliance, flexible scheduling, and rising evening consumer activity all require planning. Governments in the UAE and Saudi Arabia have tightened labour compliance systems in recent years. Mismanaging Ramadan schedules, whether through inconsistent application of reduced hours or unclear overtime practices, can create legal and operational risks. At the same time, Ramadan and Eid increasingly represent peak commercial periods, particularly in retail, hospitality, and e-commerce sectors.

Is The US Immigration Crackdown Hurting Jobs? What The Latest Fed Data Shows

Is The US Immigration Crackdown Hurting Jobs? What The Latest Fed Data Shows

A dramatic slowdown in unauthorised immigration to the United States is now being linked to a sharp cooling in job creation, according to fresh research published by the San Francisco Federal Reserve. The findings arrive at a politically charged moment, as President Donald Trump advances an aggressive immigration enforcement agenda during his second term. Revised labour data shows that overall job additions in 2025 have fallen nearly 88 per cent compared to the previous year, marking a striking decline that economists are now examining through the lens of migration patterns. From Immigration Surge To Sudden Slowdown The San Francisco Fed study traces the rise in unauthorised immigration beginning in 2021, followed by a notable deceleration starting in March 2024, reported Business Standard.  Researchers found that employment growth in local labour markets tended to rise when inflows increased and weakened as those flows diminished. The study focused on what economists refer to as “unauthorised immigrant worker flows” (UIWF), comparing changes in these flows with employment trends across sectors and regions. “On average, places experiencing the biggest slowdowns in unauthorised immigration saw the biggest slowdowns in employment growth in construction, manufacturing, and other services,” wrote Fed economists Daniel Wilson and Xiaoqing Zhou. The connection appears particularly strong in labour-intensive industries that have historically relied on migrant workers. Construction And Housing Supply Under Pressure Among the sectors most affected, construction stands out. “The effect for the construction sector is particularly notable, because it suggests that falling UIWF (unauthorised immigrant worker flows) in recent months could be slowing residential construction and hence slowing down the growth of housing supply,” the economists wrote. At a time when housing affordability remains a pressing concern across many US cities, the prospect of slower residential construction adds another layer to an already complex market dynamic. If labour availability tightens, project timelines can lengthen, and supply constraints may intensify. Manufacturing and certain service segments have also recorded weaker employment momentum in areas that experienced sharper immigration declines. The 2025 Jobs Data In Context The scale of the slowdown is significant. Revised employment figures published last week indicate that the US economy added 181,000 jobs in 2025. That is sharply lower than the 1.459 million jobs added in 2024, the final full year of former President Joe Biden’s term. While job growth naturally fluctuates with economic cycles, economists have increasingly pointed to immigration as one factor influencing labour market dynamics. The San Francisco Fed report does not argue that immigration is the sole driver of employment growth, but it highlights a measurable correlation between worker inflows and hiring trends in specific sectors. “US employment growth is likely to face continued downward pressure as long as the ongoing declines in unauthorised immigrant worker flows continue,” the authors wrote. The implication is not necessarily one of long-term structural decline, but rather that labour market conditions may remain subdued if worker supply continues to contract. Defining ‘Unauthorised’ Immigration The term “unauthorised” immigrants refers to individuals who entered the United States without formal admission under immigration law. Federal authorities typically encounter such individuals at ports of entry, along the border, or within the country. Many receive a “Notice To Appear” in immigration court, allowing them to apply for asylum or challenge removal. Historically, most have been permitted to remain in the country while their cases are adjudicated, a process that can take at least a year and often several years. These individuals often enter the workforce during this period, particularly in industries facing persistent labour shortages. President Donald Trump’s administration argues that stricter enforcement will protect American workers and help ease housing demand pressures. Supporters of these measures say they are necessary to restore border control and strengthen domestic labour markets. Critics contend that aggressive enforcement risks disrupting industries that rely heavily on migrant labour and may create prolonged legal uncertainty for long-settled migrants, students and workers.

Streaming Showdown: WBD Shareholders To Decide Between Netflix And Paramount Bids

Streaming Showdown: WBD Shareholders To Decide Between Netflix And Paramount Bids

Warner Bros Discovery (WBD) has formally called a Special Meeting of Shareholders for March 20, 2026, at 8:00 AM Eastern Time, where investors will vote on the company’s proposed merger with Netflix.  The media conglomerate has also begun dispatching its definitive proxy statement to shareholders ahead of the crucial decision. The announcement marks a decisive moment in what has rapidly evolved into one of the most closely watched corporate battles in the global entertainment industry. In its official communication, WBD stated, "Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. ("WBD") (NASDAQ: WBD) today announced that it will hold the Special Meeting of Shareholders (the "Special Meeting") to vote on the merger with Netflix, Inc. ("Netflix") (NASDAQ: NFLX) on March 20, 2026 at 8 AM Eastern Time and the commencement of mailing of the definitive proxy statement to shareholders in connection with the Special Meeting." A Seven-Day Window For Rival Talks While the company has reiterated its support for the Netflix transaction, developments took a notable turn with confirmation that Netflix has granted a limited waiver under the merger agreement, reported ANI.  The waiver allows WBD to engage in discussions with Paramount Skydance (PSKY) for a seven-day period ending on February 23, 2026. The stated objective of these talks is to provide clarity for shareholders and to give Paramount Skydance an opportunity to present what it terms its “best and final” proposal. Despite opening this window, the WBD Board of Directors has made its position clear. It continues to unanimously recommend the merger with Netflix and has urged shareholders to reject Paramount Skydance’s current offer. At the same time, the company acknowledged it is engaging in discussions to determine whether Paramount Skydance can deliver a binding proposal that offers superior value and greater certainty. Board Stands Firm On Netflix Deal David Zaslav, President and Chief Executive Officer of Warner Bros. Discovery, underlined the company’s priorities in navigating the competing bids. He said, "Throughout the entire process, our sole focus has been on maximizing value and certainty for WBD shareholders." He added, "Every step of the way, we have provided PSKY with clear direction on the deficiencies in their offers and opportunities to address them. We are engaging with PSKY now to determine whether they can deliver an actionable, binding proposal that provides superior value and certainty for WBD shareholders through their best and final offer." Samuel A Di Piazza, Jr, Chair of the Warner Bros. Discovery Board of Directors, reinforced the board’s stance, stating, "As announced today, we continue to believe the Netflix merger is in the best interests of WBD shareholders due to the tremendous value it provides, our clear path to achieve regulatory approval and the transaction's protections for shareholders against downside risk." Competing Bids And Escalating Stakes Paramount Skydance had earlier indicated a willingness to pay $31 per share and suggested this was not its final proposal. In response, WBD issued a letter outlining unresolved issues and requested a binding offer with clear, definitive terms. The rivalry intensified after Netflix reached what was described as a “friendly” agreement in late 2025 to acquire WBD’s premium content and streaming assets for approximately $83 billion. The structure of the deal would merge the two streaming operations while spinning off WBD’s legacy cable networks into a separate entity. However, Paramount Global, recently combined with Skydance Media, countered with a significantly larger offer valued at $108.4 billion for the entire company, including the cable networks that Netflix intended to separate. The contest has since evolved into a full-scale bidding battle, marked by complex legal and financial manoeuvring. Although the WBD board initially favoured Netflix’s proposal, Paramount Skydance sought to strengthen its appeal by pledging to cover the $2.8 billion breakup fee WBD would owe Netflix if it withdrew from the agreement. It also offered a so-called “ticking fee”, promising additional cash compensation to shareholders should regulatory approvals be delayed. Shareholder Decision Day Approaches WBD has scheduled the vote in line with its ongoing commitment to complete the Netflix merger. Shareholders on record as of 5 PM Eastern Time on February 4, 2026, will be eligible to cast their votes at the Special Meeting. The company’s current position is rooted in a strategic review conducted last year, when WBD decided to separate its Streaming & Studios businesses from its Global Linear Networks division. During that process, Paramount Skydance approached WBD in September 2025 and submitted multiple proposals, each of which was twice unanimously rejected by the board due to unfavourable terms and conditions.

Ramadan 2026 Calendar: City-Wise Sehri And Iftar Timings For Delhi, Mumbai, Lucknow, Hyderabad And More

Ramadan 2026 Calendar - First Roza Timings In India: Ramadan 2026 is expected to begin in India on February 19, ushering in a sacred month of fasting, prayer, and spiritual reflection. For millions of Muslims across the country, this period is more than abstaining from food and drink, it is a time to renew faith, deepen gratitude, and strengthen community bonds. As families prepare for the first Roza, here’s a complete look at the moon sighting details and city-wise Sehri and Iftar timings for the opening day of Ramadan 2026. ALSO READ: Ramadan 2026 Moon Sighted In Saudi Arabia, Here's When Holy Month Will Commence In India Ramadan 2026: Significance And Start Date Observed as the ninth and holiest month of the Islamic lunar calendar, Ramadan spans 29 to 30 days. It commemorates the revelation of the Quran and emphasises self-discipline, charity, and devotion. Fasting begins each day before dawn with Sehri (also known as suhur) and concludes at sunset with Iftar, traditionally opened with dates and water. During daylight hours, healthy adult Muslims abstain from food, drink, smoking, and immoral conduct. Those who are ill, elderly, travelling, pregnant, breastfeeding, or menstruating are exempt from fasting. Beyond fasting, the month is marked by increased recitation of the Quran and the offering of special nightly prayers called Tarawih. The first Sehri and Iftar on February 19 are expected at 5:36 AM and 6:15 PM, respectively (general reference timing). Moon Sighting And First Roza The beginning of Ramadan is determined by the sighting of the crescent moon. In Saudi Arabia and several Gulf nations, fasting typically begins a day earlier than in India, depending on moon visibility. Once the moon is sighted, the first Roza is observed the following day, marking the start of a spiritually intense and deeply meaningful month. Ramadan 2026: City-Wise Sehri And Iftar Timings (First Day) Here are the expected fasting timings across major Indian cities: Delhi – Sehri: 05:39 AM | Iftar: 06:13 PM Mumbai – Sehri: 05:52 AM | Iftar: 06:40 PM Kolkata – Sehri: 04:51 AM | Iftar: 05:35 PM Bengaluru – Sehri: 05:29 AM | Iftar: 06:27 PM Hyderabad – Sehri: 05:28 AM | Iftar: 06:19 PM Chennai – Sehri: 05:18 AM | Iftar: 06:16 PM Lucknow – Sehri: 05:24 AM | Iftar: 05:59 PM Kanpur – Sehri: 05:25 AM | Iftar: 06:03 PM Ranchi – Sehri: 05:04 AM | Iftar: 05:45 PM Ahmedabad – Sehri: 05:55 AM | Iftar: 06:37 PM Surat – Sehri: 05:53 AM | Iftar: 06:38 PM Pune – Sehri: 05:47 AM | Iftar: 06:37 PM When Does Ramadan 2026 End? The holy month will conclude with the celebration of Eid al-Fitr on March 20. On the final day, Sehri is expected at 5:06 AM and Iftar at 6:33 PM, marking the completion of fasting and the beginning of joyous festivities. As the crescent moon appears and the first fast begins, Ramadan 2026 once again invites believers to pause, reflect, and reconnect with faith.

Delhi Biker Arrested For Yanking Moving Vehicle Doors In Viral ‘Door-Slam’ Reel; Partner On Run

A 22-year-old man has been arrested in northeast Delhi after a viral video showed him allegedly pulling open the doors of moving vehicles while riding through traffic on a motorcycle. The accused, identified by police as Tushar Puniya, was taken into custody from the New Usmanpur area. His associate, also 22, is currently being traced. The 12-second clip, widely circulated on social media, shows the duo zigzagging across congested roads. One of the riders repeatedly steers alongside buses and tempos, forcefully yanking their doors so they swing or slam open mid-motion — a stunt that could have caused serious injuries to passengers and other motorists. 'Door Slam' Video: Outrage Erupts Online The footage sparked immediate public anger, with users tagging the Delhi Police and demanding urgent intervention. Many questioned how such reckless acts were allowed to unfold on busy city streets without prompt enforcement. One social media user asked who would be accountable if the stunt had triggered a crash due to what they called “reel-driven madness.” Others criticized what they described as weak complaint redressal systems and inconsistent policing. Several pointed out that the motorcycles appeared to lack visible registration plates, urging authorities to suspend licenses, seize the bikes, and impose stringent penalties. 🔶 सड़क नियमों को ताक पर रखने वालों के खिलाफ कार्रवाई। 🔸 वायरल वीडियो पर संज्ञान लेते हुए थाना न्यू उस्मानपुर ने न्याय संहिता की धारा 281 और MV एक्ट के तहत स्टंटबाजों के खिलाफ कसा सिकंजा। #DPUpdates#ViralVideo pic.twitter.com/FociYbmmve — Delhi Police (@DelhiPolice) February 17, 2026 Some commenters even suggested confiscating and auctioning vehicles involved in such dangerous acts to create a strong deterrent. Social Media Fame vs Public Safety The episode has revived concerns about risky stunts performed for online attention. Users noted that such videos typically involve multiple individuals — one performing the act while others film, encourage, or share the footage. Critics argue that the pursuit of digital validation, combined with inadequate fear of legal consequences, is turning public roads into hazardous arenas. The viral clip also shows the rider weaving sharply in front of a bus, riding without a helmet, and repeatedly turning away from the road to interact with his associate — further compounding the risk to himself and others. Case Registered Under BNS, MV Act Police at New Usmanpur registered a case under Section 281 (rash driving or riding on a public way) and Section 125 (endangering life or personal safety of others) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, along with relevant provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act. In a separate incident, Delhi Police detained another individual in Old Rajender Nagar for allegedly performing bike stunts during celebrations following India’s cricket victory over Pakistan on Sunday, underscoring a broader crackdown on dangerous driving tied to viral content and public events. Authorities say investigations are ongoing and further legal action may follow.
