Title on iPhone: Puzzle 0010, clue 1 of 6. The opening line of the day's book sits above six candidate titles on paper slips.
How it works

Three marks on the proof.

  1. Read the opening line.

    A new classic each day. Clue 1 is the book's opening line.

    The opening-line clue: “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” Below it, a dashed Author slot reads “Tap to reveal · uses 1 guess.”

  2. Tap one of six titles.

    Six candidate titles are listed. Tap the one the line belongs to.

    Six paper slips: Middlemarch, Pride and Prejudice, The Pickwick Papers, Just So Stories, The Cauliflower, De Profundis.

  3. A wrong pick is struck out.

    The next clue appears. You have six guesses; revealing a clue yourself uses one.

    Clue 4 of 6: Author “Written by Austen, Jane.”, Topic “Courtship”, Topic “Domestic fiction”. Middlemarch has been struck through and moved to the bottom of the slips.
