Buried Authors
Buried Authors Game - Here you will find a list of fifteen questions, in each of which the name of a familiar author is hidden. All the letters in the author's last name appear in their correct order in the sentence, although the name may be formed of part of two or more words.
For example, if we had the sentence: "Clara was particularly fond of Dick, ensign in the U.S. Navy," we should see at once the name of the author "Dickens" buried in the sentence between the words "Dick" and "ensign."
