Pruning day

Steady Bare apple trees, a ladder, a trug of tools and a bonfire of twigs on a crisp morning.

A small orchard in winter: bare apple trees with a few last apples, a wooden ladder against a tree, a trug with secateurs and gloves, bundles of twigs, a small smoking bonfire, a wheelbarrow, a robin, a scarecrow and a frosty field beyond the hedge.

Find the five differences

This pair has a different number of things, a changed shape, something added or taken away, something moved and a new pattern. Compare the two pictures and tap each change in either one.

  • No timer to beat, no penalty for wrong taps.
  • Zoom in for small details; pinch works on touch screens.
  • Hints and text clues are there if you want them.

Opens on Thursday 28 January, when it’s the daily pair. Every daily opens on its day, the same for everyone. Until then, try a practice pair or a past daily.
