Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Losswords! More entries from our self-deleting dictionary, where each definition has had the letters of the word defined erased from it. To make matters worse, the gaps between words have been closed. But at least the letters of the missing words did appear in the right order. The words are thematically linked and the length of each is given in brackets:

heygoonlwaylie (6)

aoponranjurey (7)

showhsardtomaarip (6)

A copy of Chambers Encyclopaedic Dictionary awaits the first correct answer opened on 5 October. Entries to: Saturday Pastimes, Independent, 1 Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London E14 5DL.
