Every saying is a puzzle

Work out each word from its clue and the letters fall into the numbered cells of a longer English saying. Piece it together and you find out what the saying means and where it came from.

How to play

  1. Read the clue for a word and write your answer in the cells under it.

  2. Every cell carries a number. The letter you type jumps to the cell with the same number up in the long quote, and back the other way too.

  3. Complete the quote to unlock its meaning, its history, and the words you just learned.
