Dot to Dot - the daily 5min Alexa demo show

This episode's skill is all about times tables. Like 'em or loath 'em you can't live without 'em. See if you can get past level 1 (out of 10!!)

In this episode we look at two skills that, if you're anything like me, will show you how little you know about music. In the first we have to guess the band from the title of the song, and the second gives us some lyrics from which we guess the song. Simple - if you know your stuff that is.

In today's episode we look at a word-related skill that will test your vocabulary, or guessing skills, to the very limit. Feeling erudite? If not are you feeling very brainy? Good - let's go.

Let's dip into the rich archives of these old-time radio mysteries immortalised in this skill. Sit back and prepare to be entertained.

In this episode we look at a skill called On My Way which is very similar to the National Rail skill reviewed previously - if a little more sophisticated. In fact I'd say it was just the ticket if you're planning on travelling by train in the UK any time soon.

Two skills today based on guessing. Guess My Age will amaze and astound (small children who don't know any better)and Guess My Number is your basic higher-lower but still a bit of fun.

Prepare to be scared half out of your wits - but only if you are already 49/50 out of them already. Grab a cocoa and settle down for another mildly disturbing episode.

If you have an Audible account then you can play your books through the Echo. You can skip forward and back by various amounts including chapter. Enjoy.

If you've recently tried to play Twenty Questions and found it gone then take heart - it's back. Sort of.

In this episode we take a look at a truly frightening skill called Dinosaur Facts and Sounds - ooer.

This is episode 50 so please tell your friends with a tiny little tweet. Birds are, after all, the dinosaurs still among us. If you use the hashtag #Echomagic I'll be sure to spot it and give a tiny little hoot like a Consognathus.
