Acrostic for May 19, 2024

by David Balton & Jane Stewart, edited by Joel Fagliano

Solve the clues to read the quote. Fill in the quote to solve the clues. The author and title of the work will appear in the bottom grid.

Note: this page doesn't work on phones. A physical keyboard is required.

Constructor comments: We were attracted to the source of this puzzle's quote as it offers a whimsical approach to solving global problems. But we suggest that solvers not attempt this particular acrostic on an empty stomach!

Looking ahead, we are considering the launch of a new blog dedicated to these acrostics, to help fill the void created when Caitlin Lovinger's blog went on hiatus. We are hoping to recreate a community for acrostics enthusiasts. Stay tuned!
