Instructions for solving anacrostics
Though they're not difficult once you learn how they work,
anacrostics are a bit confusing at first. The following explanations
will help:
-
At the top of the puzzle is a quotation. You're ultimate
goal is to solve it.
-
Begin by reading through the questions and answering the
ones you can.
-
Take each letter from your answers and transpose them into
the same-numbered square in the quotation grid above.
-
As the grid fills in, you will be able to guess some words
within it. IMPORTANT: as you do so, take the letters you supply in
the quotation grid and place then in the appropriate answers slots below.
How do you know where they go? The letter in the grid refers to the
corresponding question (notice that each question is preceded by a letter).
The number will match one of the letter slots in the answer.
-
As you fill in answers, the first letter of many of them
also goes in the corresponding slot in the box on the bottom of the page.
This box yields further information about the quote, usually the author's
name but not always.
The skills involved in doing anacrostics are knowledge of
words, knowledge of quotations and authors, decoding, cryptology, and many
others. They are addictive once you get the basic premise of how
they work.
