Using the definitions at the bottom, fill the words into the WORD column. Then transfer the letters from the WORDS column into their corresponding places in the diagram. It is not necessary to know more than a few words to begin solving. Work back and forth from diagram to WORDS column until both are filled in. A black square denotes the end of a word. Your completed diagram will yield a quotation plus the author's name and occupation. If you are stumped just go to the FEEDBACK menu option below and send me an e-mail requesting the solution.
