The answers to today's Strands, game #740, are…

• BANJO
• MANDOLIN
• FIDDLE
• GUITAR
• HARMONICA
• SPANGRAM: BLUEGRASSMUSIC

• My rating: Hard
• My score: Perfect

---

The letter J is such a rarity that my eyes shot to it immediately.

However, after getting BANJO, finding the other folky instruments in today’s search was a much slower process — in fact, the only easy one was FIDDLE, thanks to it being hidden within the super-long spangram.

Bluegrass is an unusual genre in that it is named after the act who first popularized it — Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys — rather than being a description of its sound. It’s a bit like calling heavy metal 'Black Sabbath', or calling disco 'Moroder'. Although now that I think of it, that wouldn't be a terrible thing.

‘Our biggest navigation upgrade in over a decade’: Google Maps gets two massive Gemini-powered features that you’re going to use all the time

---

• Google Maps just got two big upgrades that roll out today in the US
• 'Ask Maps' is a conversational assistant that answers very specific questions
• Google is also giving drivers the app's "biggest update in over a decade"

---

The Google Maps vs Waze debate continues to rumble on, but Maps has just been given two huge upgrades that could help extend its lead as the world's best all-round navigation app.

The first, called 'Ask Maps', is the Gemini-powered, conversational experience for travelers that's felt inevitable for a few years. Google is also calling its other new feature, called 'Immersive Navigation', its "biggest navigation upgrade in over a decade".

For pedestrians and travelers, the most exciting new feature is 'Ask Maps'. This new tab sits very prominently below the app's search box and is like a Maps-specific version of Gemini that can answer very detailed travel questions.

Some example questions Google provided in a demo included "My phone is dying — where can I charge it without having to wait in a long line for coffee?" and “Is there a public tennis court with lights on that I can play at tonight?” In other words, this is more than just a rehash of existing Google Maps tabs and information — it could potentially prove very useful if it works as well as it did in the demos.

As the examples above show, 'Ask Maps' will responds to very specific questions about local free phone chargers and florists on your route — which could prove very handy, if it works this well in real-world situations. (Image credit: Google)

Google says that 'Ask Maps' can also create full travel itineraries based on its information from over 300 millions places and 500 million contributors. For example, you could say "I’m headed to the Grand Canyon, Horseshoe Bend and Coral Dunes — any recommended stops along the way?"

A detail that could prove controversial for some is that your 'Ask Maps' results are personalized. They'll be based on places you've searched for or also saved in Google Maps.

But Google was keen to ward off any privacy concerns, with the Miriam Daniel, VP & GM for Google Maps, stating in a briefing that "it's not linking to any of the other apps or any of your other data". 'Ask Maps' is rolling out now in the US and India on Android and iOS, with desktop coming soon — Google wouldn't comment on a global rollout.

A 'complete transformation' of Maps navigation

(Image credit: Google)

If you're a driver who regularly uses Google Maps to get around cities, then the new 'Immersive Navigation' mode might be more up your street.

Like a cross between 'Immersive View' and traditional Google Maps navigation, the visual side of the update brings a new 3D view that adds transparent buildings and overpasses to give you more context, alongside crosswalks, traffic lights and more. Google says this view was pre-trained using Gemini and real-world info from Street View and aerial photos.

'Immersive navigation' looks particularly helpful for city driving, but there are also functional changes. Google says 'smart zooms' will help you plan ahead for tricky junctions, while voice navigation will apparently be more natural.

Google Maps will also give you more information about the trade-offs of alternative routes, and you'll also get the option to preview your destination with Street View imagery. That's another cross-Google collaboration that feels like it could have happened years ago.

The bad news for anyone who lives outside the US is that 'Immersive Navigation' is only rolling out today in the States. It also won't come to everyone initially, with Google promising that it "will expand over the coming months to eligible iOS and Android devices', CarPlay, Android Auto and cars with Google built-in.

---

Analysis: Impressive upgrades, but not for everyone

(Image credit: Google)

Both of these Google Maps upgrades look very useful on paper — and rivals like Apple Maps may struggle to compete with its combination of new AI smarts and the wealth of information available in the likes of 'Ask Maps'.

However, there are still concerns that could see some sticking to alternative apps. For starters, we don't yet know how well 'Ask Maps' works in the real world. But some will also raise trust and privacy questions.

When asked about whether the results in 'Ask Maps' could one day include ads or paid placements, Google didn't rule that out. "I can't really speculate on where we're going to go long-term, though for now we are really focused on just providing the best possible experience in 'Ask Maps', so monetization and payment does not impact where things are appearing within that experience," said Andrew Duchi (Product Director, Google Maps).

The personalization aspect of 'Ask Maps' could also put off some users. Google said that it doesn't use information from other apps like Gmail to refine its results. "It's mostly focused on searches you might have done in the past in Maps or in search that are specific to places that you might be interested in. It focuses on things you have saved in Maps or as a list," said Miriam Daniel (VP & GM for Google Maps).

That will be a fair trade-off for many, but others could still prefer the more traditional approach of Apple Maps — and lots of drivers do still prefer the Google-owned Waze over Google Maps. Talking of which, Google added that its new route-finding features are using a combination of Maps and Waze community data.

"Behind the scenes, much like Gemini is powering many of our capabilities, Waze and Google Maps have a shared driver community to bring real-time info to the map. So the two are working together in terms of the data we're serving", added Rosa Wu (Product Director, Google Maps).

Whichever side of the privacy fence you're on, we'll be testing the two big Google Maps upgrades soon to give your our first impressions.

Most of my non-game words today ended up being part of the game words (“rough”, “table”) and spangram (I had both “dyed” and “wool” before getting DYEDINTHEWOOL).

Dyed-in-the-wool is not often said as a compliment, as it often refers to someone permanently set in their ways who is unable to change their mind about something even if all the evidence suggests that they should — a characteristic that’s become increasingly common in the western world despite the volatility of modern life.

Having said that, I am pretty dyed-in-the-wool about how I play Strands and today the top left-hand corner was the key to the COMPLETE game.

Google will stop at nothing to get you to sign up to YouTube Premium — and its unskippable 30-second ads could be the final straw

---

• Google has rolled out 30-second unskippable ads for YouTube's TV app
• It's another way for the company to convince more people to sign up to YouTube Premium
• Last year YouTube made more ad revenue than any of the biggest media companies

---

Google will stop at nothing to make you cave and succumb yourself to a YouTube Premium subscription, and its latest move could be the one thing that makes you throw in the towel — it’s now targeting YouTube’s TV app.

The company unveiled that VRC non-skip ads are now being rolled out to the TV version of the YouTube app globally, removing the option to skip ads after just a few seconds. Just like its ad-blocker and background play crackdowns for phones and laptops, Google is implementing similar measures for YouTube for TV, and it’s all because of shifting viewing habits.

As more users opt for their TVs over smartphones and other devices for YouTube viewing, it gives Google a target, allowing the company to really show you what YouTube Premium features you’re missing out on. But from Google's announcement, it appears that its new ads system is also designed to mimic the feel of watching traditional broadcast television.

The company details that “Google AI dynamically optimizes between 6-second Bumpers, 15-second standard and 30-second CTV-only non-skippable ad formats, ensuring your campaign reaches the right audience at the right time”, meaning that Google AI will wait to show you ads during the moments when you’re most engaged with whatever video content you’re watching. But there’s more to the strategy than meets the eye.

Business Insider reveals that YouTube made $40.4 billion in advertising revenue last year (Image credit: Business Insider)

In 2025, YouTube made over $60 billion in revenue, $40 billion of that being from advertising. According to Business Insider ($/£), this equates more to the combined advertising revenue of Disney, NBCUniversal, Paramount Skydance, and Warner Bros. Discovery.

So it’s official; YouTube is the biggest media company out there, so of course Google is taking the opportunity to generate more revenue growth from YouTube’s TV experience now that more viewers use it in a living room just as they would with the best streaming services — and I’m one of those people.

Signing up to YouTube Premium’s free trial is the best thing I’ve done

As it stands, Google has locked the most minor features into YouTube Premium which has made its free version almost unbearable to use. I’ll hold my hands up when I say I caved to the temptation of a YouTube Premium free trial and, I hate to admit it, but it’s frustratingly good.

Aside from the complete absence of ads, smaller features such as background play, continue watching, and video and audio quality makes all the difference — and it’s even better if you’re a big music buff.

Though I’m a Spotify subscriber, for me its music video integration is nowhere near YouTube’s level, and the same goes for live recorded performances, both of which I always go back to YouTube for. That said, if you’re tempted to make the most of YouTube’s music video and live shows content, then you’ll have to go whole hog with YouTube Premium as the more affordable YouTube Premium Lite just won’t cut it.

Recently YouTube added background play and downloads to its cheaper plan, but once again left out the music benefits, which includes access to the YouTube Music streaming platform and ad-free viewing on music content (i.e. music videos). But if this isn’t a priority for you, Premium Lite should be enough to suffice if all you want is majority ad-free viewing.

This was a great game with, somewhat ironically, some very well hidden and very tricky words.Despite getting the hardest word in the game — CAMOUFLAGE — I needed hints to get me the two easiest. That said, AGILITY is not the most obvious of DEFENSES.I sometimes wonder how I’d cope if I was shrunk down to the size of a mouse and became prey to my pet cats. Of all the types of survival techniques that are available in today’s game I think the one I’d try is DISTRACTION — by the time I’ve finished burping the alphabet they’d be either too bored, confused or revolted to bother with me.
