These crossword puzzles not only provide an enjoyable way to test your knowledge of literature but also encourage deeper analysis of the stories, making them a valuable educational tool. Scannell suspects that she’s missed clues that are hidden in plain sight, simply because the nearly-90-year-old British English is so foreign to her that she doesn’t recognize them as clues at all.

Mathers’s habit of including scripture-based clues in his puzzles led many to suspect (incorrectly) that he was a member of the clergy, and the title Cain’s Jawbone refers to the weapon Cain supposedly used to kill his brother: an ass’s jawbone.
