Josh Wardle's (yes, really) free browser game Wordle has turned Twitter's timeline into a sea of yellow and green. But are a bunch of journalists, who write for a living, any good at it?

Metro's Lifestyle & Weekend Editor @EllenCScott found that the correct answer isn't too far from a river (😉) and scraped through on the last guess.

Our Deputy News Editor @SianElvin upped the ante a bit, nearly blowing it on the first three before pulling it out of the bag on guess five.

Not to be outdone, the Social Team's own @Cameron_W_Clark got it in four - but not without a bit of elimination first.

Could everyone collectively going vegan be the solution to the NHS’s woes?

Diet-related illnesses are at an all-time high, and switching to a vegan diet could save the cash-strapped NHS billions.

metro.co.uk/2022/01/06/veg…

🧵👇
More than two million people in the UK are expected to take part in Veganuary this year – the highest number since the movement started in 2014.
A recent YouGov poll found 8% Brits now follow a plant-based diet – a threefold jump from 2019 when just 2% of people were thought to be vegan.

The 'Forgotten Victims' of the Pandemic 🦠️

This exclusive by @HarrisonJones7 outlines the debilitating health problems experienced by long-term sufferers, two years after catching the virus.

🧵👇
trib.al/p93WVsx
Three patients, who believe they caught Covid-19 over the festive period in 2019, have spoken exclusively to Metro about their 24 months of misery.
But one hopes that her story of recovery – to about 70% of her ‘old self’ – can help other UK sufferers, who number an estimated 1.2 million, according to self-reported stats from the Office for National Statistics in December.

A new study from King's College London has concluded that ‘magic mushrooms’ are effective at easing mental health disorders that are otherwise resistant to treatment. They also show no short or long-term side effects in healthy people 😌🍄

trib.al/VKAS5xX
The study, led by the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN), found that the drug can be safely administered in up to six patients using doses of either 10mg or 25mg.
It’s the first trial of its kind on humans, and sought to test whether that the drug found within ‘shrooms - psychedelic called psilocybin - actually worked to help ease mental health issues in practice.

This truly is a story like no other...

Stephanie Matto, a former 90 Day Fiance star who made £38,000 a week from selling her farts in a jar (yes, really) has revealed that she was rushed to hospital...

@aliciaadejobi reports:
🧵👇
trib.al/frfqOGA
Stephanie Matto recently shed light on her unusual stream of income, explaining how she utilised her 260k-strong following as her customer base to sell her pungent product, which retailed at a princely $1k (£756) a jar.

Yes, you read that right: £756.
At one point, demand was so high for Stephanie’s wind that she was producing up to 50 jars worth of farts a week.

(Once again: yes. Really).
