Quote of the week
The letters have dropped out of their columns. Put them back and a line worth remembering reads across the board.
When to use it
A Monday starter in English or history, with a new line each week. A team meeting that opens with a quote worth talking about. The last five minutes of a lesson, when a short puzzle can still leave the class with something to think about.

This week's line is Hamlet's, from Act 2 of Shakespeare's play: its letters have dropped out of the grid into the heap under their own column, and a letter only ever goes back into the column it fell from.
Why the example is built this way
-
No word longer than a row.
The board wraps whole words, fourteen characters to a row at the default width. A longer word would be broken across two rows, so check your line before you pick it.
-
The board left at its default width.
At a Board width of 14 this line falls into five rows, so a heap can hold five letters to put in order. A wider board means shallower heaps and an easier puzzle.
-
Name the source, not the line.
The instructions say whose words they are and where they come from. That gives solvers a way in without handing over any of the words.
