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.

Mixed doubles:

Changing format for this week's Perplexity competition, we begin with:

Some oily guavas near civil scribe.

Those six words hide three answers strongly linked by a single theme. All you have to do to find the solution is group the words into three pairs, then rearrange the letters within each pair. A prize of a Chambers Encyclopaedic Dictionary awaits the first disentanglement opened on 20 July. Entries to: Saturday Pastimes, The Independent, 1 Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London E14 5DL.

Last week's hidden names were Gillian Shephard (glad he ran. His lip), Pete Sampras (as PM repeats), Brian Mawhinney (a brawny he-man in).

Winner: Nicholas E Gough (Malmesbury, Wiltshire).
