The idea

Each day, a sentence from a great work of literature appears with its phrases jumbled. Drag them back into the right order.

You’ll begin with a warm-up — a sentence you almost certainly know, with hints on the house. Today’s puzzle follows straight after.

The phrase moved to first position always gets a capital letter; the last gets the correct end punctuation.

Checking & hints

Press Check to see which phrases are in the right place — they’ll turn green and lock. Wrong ones turn amber. If you’re stuck, Use a hint to merge phrases into bigger chunks.

The context helps

You’ll see the line or two leading up to the missing sentence. Read it — the meaning flows, and the right order usually follows.

Bonus

Once you solve it, see if you can name the work it came from.
