During the Type 00 event in Miami on Monday, the UK-based company’s chief creative officer, Gerry McGovern, said he welcomed the attention Jaguar’s new direction had been getting.
“It has already stirred emotions and it will continue to,” he said.
“Jaguar has no desire to be loved by everybody.”
Replies on Jaguar’s social media posts about the car ranged from “Go back to the drawing board” and “hopefully this doesn’t actually come out” to “Exciting” and “Absolutely stunning”.
Car industry analyst Karl Brauer was sceptical about the rebranding.
The company seems to be “sacrificing Jaguar’s past to the hopes of a better future,” he told the BBC. “I don’t think it’s going to work”.
Last month, the company urged people to “trust and reserve judgement” over the rebrand of the 102-year-old business.
Earlier in November, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) stopped selling new Jaguar cars in the UK ahead of a relaunch as an electric-only brand in 2026.
The firm said it was a deliberate move to “create some breathing space” before launching the new brand this month.
The firm announced the transition to electric vehicles in 2021, keeping all three of its three British plants open as part of the strategy.
Jaguar has been the weakest link within the JLR group, which has been owned by Tata Motors for almost a decade.

Wordle hints (game #1263) – clue #1 – Vowels
How many vowels does today’s Wordle have?
• Wordle today has a vowel in one place*.
* Note that by vowel we mean the five standard vowels (A, E, I, O, U), not Y (which is sometimes counted as a vowel too).
Wordle hints (game #1263) – clue #2 – first letter
What letter does today’s Wordle begin with?
• The first letter in today’s Wordle answer is S.
S is the most common starting letter in the game, featuring in 365 of Wordle’s 2,309 answers. In fact, it’s almost twice as likely to begin an answer as the next most common starting letter, C.
• There are no repeated letters in today’s Wordle.
Repeated letters are quite common in the game, with 748 of the 2,309 Wordle answers containing one. However, it’s still more likely that a Wordle doesn’t have one.
Wordle hints (game #1263) – clue #4 – ending letter
What letter does today’s Wordle end with?
• The last letter in today’s Wordle is Y.
Y is the second most common ending letter in the game, behind only E. In total, 364 Wordle answers end with a Y.

Today’s Wordle answer (game #1263)
(Image credit: New York Times)
NYT average score: 4.0
My score: 5
WordleBot’s score: 4
Best start word performance*: LEAST (29 remaining answers)
My start word performance: SPOOL (203)
* From WordleBot’s Top 20 start words
Today’s Wordle answer (game #1263) is… SHAKY.
You know what’s SHAKY right now? My grasp on reality after working nights for six days. Also my Wordle streak, following yet another poor game that ended with a score of five. Maybe it’s nothing to do with tiredness and I’ve forgotten how to play; maybe I never could do any my luck has run out.
It’s not like SHAKY is particularly difficult. As with yesterday’s GUILE, it has an average score of exactly 4.0, and there are no obvious complications to it beyond the fact that SHADY is only a letter away. SHACK, too, may have turned your head only to be a red herring.
I started badly, with SPOOL giving me a green S but nothing more and leaving 203 answers. My luck remained poor on my second guess, with CATER leaving 15. In hindsight, I should have played something else; I knew the S at the start would be followed by either a vowel or one of W, T, H, K, M, N or C, and maybe could have ruled out an extra one of those by going with something like CHANT. CATER, in contrast, contained an R – which might have been somewhere in there, but I didn’t have evidence for that, whereas those other consonants were more likely now.
CATER was not a disaster (and WordleBot called it a “wonderful choice”, but it left me just a little too much work to do. I tried my hardest on guess number three, and went with GNASH; the S was placed in the fourth slot to guard against SWASH or SMASH, but again there were probably better choices there. If I’d played THINK, for instance, I’d have left only one answer – whereas GNASH left two.
I still might have scored a four if my luck had turned, but sadly for me it didn’t. I played SHADY first and when that wasn’t correct had to settle for a five.
In a different time zone where it’s still Monday? Don’t worry – I can give you some clues for Wordle #1262, too.
Wordle yesterday had vowels in three places.
* Note that by vowel we mean the five standard vowels (A, E, I, O, U), not Y (which is sometimes counted as a vowel too).
The first letter in yesterday’s Wordle answer was G.
G is the eighth most common starting letter, featuring in 115 Wordle answers. It’s often paired with an L to make GL—, but I’m not revealing whether that’s the case today.
There were no repeated letters in yesterday’s Wordle.
Repeated letters are quite common in the game, with 748 of the 2,309 Wordle answers containing one. However, it’s still more likely that a Wordle doesn’t have one.
The last letter in yesterday’s Wordle was E.
E is the most common letter to end a Wordle answer by far. That’s one of the reasons why many of the best start words, including SLATE, CRANE, CRATE and STARE, all end with one.

Yesterday’s Wordle answer is deceitful cunning.
Yesterday’s Wordle answer (game #1262)
(Image credit: New York Times)
NYT average score: 4.0
My score: 6
WordleBot’s score: 5
Best start word performance*: SLICE (6 remaining answers)
According to the NYT I’ve scored 33 sixes in my Wordle career, although by my reckoning it’s only 31. Anyway, it’s not a particularly common thing to happen to me, and it’s usually on a far, far harder word than GUILE, an answer that only has an average score of 4.0.
Average is an apt word, actually, because it’s a pretty vanilla Wordle in general: three vowels, a very common L, a common-at-the-start-of-an-answer G. There’s no major problem with similarly spelled words, either, although it’s not the most obvious or frequently used term in the English language.
So what happened to me? Well, I’ll tell you what: Black Friday. Or rather, Black Friday and Cyber Monday. For a week I’ve been working flat-out to bring great deals to TechRadar’s readers and as I write this I’m also helping out with our Cyber Monday deals 2024 live page. This (which, ultimately, is my day job – Wordle is a hobby) has not left me much time to play properly, and the honest answer is that I rushed today’s game.
Embarrassingly, I had only four answers left after the second guess, then managed to guess the wrong ones over the next three attempts, which is exactly the way I don’t usually play the game. My streak was never in doubt, but I didn’t know that at the time. It was slapdash and stupid and I blame nobody but myself. Well, and my boss.
Anyway, the problem is clear from the screenshot above: I had only RIFLE, EXILE, WHILE and GUILE left after my second guess, STOLE, but guessed them in that order rather than doing what I would usually do and playing a different word to narrow them down. EARTH would have done that, for instance (as suggested by WordleBot), and would have given me a four. But no, my mind clouded with deals I didn’t think it through and had to suffer a near disaster. I’ll be better next week, promise.

What is Wordle?
If you’re on this page then you almost certainly know what Wordle is already, and indeed have probably been playing it for a while. And even if you’ve not been playing it, you must surely have heard of it by now, because it’s the viral word game phenomenon that took the world by storm last year and is still going strong in 2024.
We’ve got a full guide to the game in our What is Wordle page, but if you just want a refresher then here are the basics.
What is Wordle?
Wordle challenges you to guess a new five-letter word each day. You get six guesses, with each one revealing a little more information. If one of the letters in your guess is in the answer and in the right place, it turns green. If it’s in the answer but in the wrong place, it turns yellow. And if it’s not in the answer at all it turns gray. Simple, eh?
It’s played online via the Wordle website or the New York Times’ Crossword app (iOS / Android), and is entirely free.
Crucially, the answer is the same for everyone each day, meaning that you’re competing against the rest of the world, rather than just against yourself or the game. The puzzle then resets each day at midnight in your local time, giving you a new challenge, and the chance to extend your streak.
What are the Wordle rules?
The rules of Wordle are pretty straightforward, but with a couple of curveballs thrown in for good measure.
1. Letters that are in the answer and in the right place turn green.
2. Letters that are in the answer but in the wrong place turn yellow.
3. Letters that are not in the answer turn gray.
4. Answers are never plural.
5. Letters can appear more than once. So if your guess includes two of one letter, they may both turn yellow, both turn green, or one could be yellow and the other green.
6. Each guess must be a valid word in Wordle’s dictionary. You can’t guess ABCDE, for instance.
7. You do not have to include correct letters in subsequent guesses unless you play on Hard mode.
8. You have six guesses to solve the Wordle.
9. You must complete the daily Wordle before midnight in your timezone.
10. All answers are drawn from Wordle’s list of 2,309 solutions. However…
11. Wordle will accept a wider pool of words as guesses – some 10,000 of them. For instance, you can guess a plural such as WORDS. It definitely won’t be right (see point 4 above), but Wordle will accept it as a guess.
Ms McCormick said the pay package would have been the largest ever for the boss of a listed company.
She said that Tesla failed to prove the pay package, which dates back to 2018, was fair.
A shareholder vote on the payment passed by 75% in June, but Ms McCormick did not agree the pay should be so large despite what she called Tesla’s lawyers’ “creative” arguments.
“Even if a stockholder vote could have a ratifying effect, it could not do so here,” she wrote in her opinion.
The judge also ruled the Tesla shareholder who brought the case against Tesla and Mr Musk should receive $345mn in fees but not the $5.6bn in Tesla shares they asked for.
Quordle was one of the original Wordle alternatives and is still going strong now more than 1,000 games later. It offers a genuine challenge, though, so read on if you need some Quordle hints today – or scroll down further for the answers.

Quordle today (game #1044) – the answers
(Image credit: Merriam-Webster)
The answers to today’s Quordle, game #1044, are…
FUDGE
THICK
CRANK
STASH
FUDGE is one of those Quordle words you have to be very careful with, because it’s a classic example of the two-many-answers variety: BUDGE, NUDGE and JUDGE are all alternatives. Fortunately I still had plenty of guesses left by the time I got to it, and so didn’t need to worry about it costing me the game. However, PUNCH on the Daily Sequence is even worse: BUNCH, HUNCH, LUNCH and MUNCH could all also be in play here. Watch out for these traps or you’ll be in trouble…
