The father of a 16-year-old boy who died less than 24-hours after being diagnosed with leukemia believes his son may have had a better chance of survival if a blood test was carried out days earlier when he complained about back pain.

He was taken to a hospital on the same day for a second opinion where two  doctors diagnosed him with a lower lumbar strain, prescribed Tylenol and told him to put Lidocaine on his back and return if symptoms got worse.

And check out this CNET TikTok, which recommends starting with ADIEU and then throwing in STORY. It's a great one-two punch that covers a lot of popular letters. The very first time I tried it out, I was able to use the letter info I gained from those guesses to get the word easily on my third attempt.

President Joe Biden delivered his first State of the Union address Tuesday night. It's customary for the opposing party to deliver a rebuttal afterward. It was delivered this year by Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds 

This constant pain has put Ms Stout's life on a stand-still since infancy, as she cannot do the average things that most people her age do as part of their day-to-day routines, such as getting the subway to work or to sit for hours in an office, as sitting for long periods of time causes her unbearable pain.

An argument for ADIEU "I've been using ADIEU from day one. Hilariously, I still sometimes misspell it. Sometimes to shake things up -- mostly based on pressure from Jackson Ryan -- I'll try something different. But every time I stray from ADIEU, it manifests into a gigantic uphill struggle I barely recover from. Either way, I dunno what we're all arguing about. Someone did an experiment on this. The best word is ROATE."  --Mark Serrels

MAKER's mark "MAKER. That word puts me in the mood to 'create' the answer based on the data I get from knocking out the above letter combo. Then I move on to animal names like TIGER. It's not so much tactical as it is about just having fun for five or so minutes." --Mike Sorrentino

It comes as French authorities today they have seized a luxury superyacht belonging to a company linked to Igor Sechin (pictured here with Putin in August last year), the chief executive of Russian energy giant Rosneft and a close confidant of Putin

STORY time "I steal Mark's word, ADIEU, and follow it up with STORY. Then it's just a matter of putting all the letters I uncovered into the spots I think they're in, and banging my head on the table, saying, 'I'm not this stupid, am I?' until I figure it out." --Oscar Gonzalez

Dr Arif Kamal, the chief patient officer at the American Cancer Society, said patients could die from leukemia even within 24 hours of diagnosis because the cancer was fast growing and may only be caught in the late stages when it has spread.

However, since gaining her following, she has had to put up with trolls calling her 'gross' and dehumanizing her by asking intrusive questions like whether she can have sex when her skin can not tolerate friction. 

A blank STARE "My go-to is STARE. I'm inspired a little by the Wheel of Fortune move of guessing RSTLNE first, and with this, I also knock off two vowels. At the very least, this often seems to give me something on the board early." --Eli Blumenthal

Distressing images of families fleeing the conflict dominate our television screens, videos from the frontline play out on social media, and schools are abuzz with things children have seen and heard. 

To raise awareness for her condition and help others in a similar situation, Ms Stout launched a TikTok profile with over 21,000 followers and her most popular video being viewed by over 472,000 people.

Part of the ceremony will be the hanging of his  son's football jersey - number 35 -  which will be signed by all his teammates and his coaches-  and placed in a glass frame to be presented at an upcoming ceremony at the school.

He told DailyMail.com that the Kensington Alumni, his son's football team, plans to hold a dedicated football game in his honor.  And, Penn Treaty, his son's high school,  will be naming the gymnasium after him. 

He recalled how much his son loved Batman. 'He always wanted to fight the bad guys even as a kid,' he said.  'He wanted to stop all the bad evil in this world by putting all the criminals behind bars so people could live their best lives safely.'

I understand the argument that there are only five vowels (and sometimes Y), so you don't need to figure those out immediately. But eh, what can I say, I like to know the vowels, it helps me narrow down my options. I've started with ADIEU, but these days I also like to start with REGAL, just to get the E and A information known, and to see if my fave consonants are involved. AISLE is also a favorite for me, using three vowels and two favorite consonants.
