I couldn’t live without my saw-nav app. I can’t imagine how people managed to get themselves to the right place without them, especially driving – and especially driving in a city.
I guess the answer is that they sometimes didn’t; I am old enough to remember lots of road trips with my parents spent sitting in the back seat as they cranked over a map and were stuck in a one -way street to the wrong side of a city. Happy days.
Maybe that’s why I solved Green, Map App settings, first with destination, route, starting point and stops everything with me early.
Then I was a little firm and got ‘one away’ with purple before I properly identified that foils, gloves, masks and jackets were all types of fence equipment.
Yellow were components of one’s class, but it confused me a little; Is participation really part of a character? I guess it’s in the sense that if you never go to school, you don’t get a good brand, but it’s not like someone gets a b rather than an A because they had an extra few days off. Maybe this lost in translation between the US and UK …
How did you do today? Tell me that in the comments below.

What are new connections?
New Connections is one of several increasingly popular word games made by the New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four objects that share something in common, and each group has another level of difficulty: green is light, yellow a little harder, blue often quite hard and purple usually very difficult.
On the plus side, you do not have to technically solve the last one, as you can answer one by an elimination process. In addition, you can make up to four errors, giving you a little bit of breathing room.
However, it is a little more involved than something like Wordle, and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to get up with tricks. For example, be careful on gay and other word games that can hide the answers.
It can be played free of charge via the new Games website on desktop or mobile.
