July 2021 newsletter competition - search the globe!
The London-based company What3Words has divided the world into 3 metre square grids. Here are some examples:
| Grid location | Where it is |
|---|---|
| life.swung.pounds | Nelson's Column, Trafalgar Square |
| foam.debate.years | Cleopatra's Needle, Embankment |
Be aware that the order of the words is important!
Get the order of the words wrong and you can land a long way away from your intended destination!
To enter this month's competition, find the link between the following locations (but bear in mind that the three words are listed here in alphabetical order, which isn't necessarily the right one!):
| Location | First word | Second word | Third word |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | kilowatts | repair | speeds |
| 2 | gadget | overlaps | stretch |
| 3 | athlete | deserving | falsify |
| 4 | dregs | micro | split |
Remember: the order of the words for each location may be different to the one listed (so it's worth trying different combinations - for example, speeds.kilowatts.repair for the first location).
There's an obvious location missing from the list above. To enter this month's competition, just send the three words for this missing location (in the correct order please!) to the following email address:
Send your entry to this email address.
The first correct entry picked out of the Wise Owl sorting hat will win this month's £50 Amazon voucher!
