A Literary Crossword for Book People

In my opinion, most crossword puzzles have too many boring trivia about sports, obscure historical events, and science questions (seriously, who cares how many molecules are in an atom?). So, we decided to take out the bits we didn’t like to create a crossword puzzle tailored for those of us with English degrees or who simply love to read. Forget baseball stats or presidential timelines; this puzzle is all about literature along with a couple cheeky little references that you’ll be able to guess by looking on our homepage.

Prefer solving puzzles the old-fashioned way? You can grab a printable PDF of this crossword here. If you get stuck, don’t worry—the answer key is waiting at the bottom of the page.
