The Raven: A Word Search Puzzle Book

Edgar Allan Poe’s classic poem becomes a puzzle.

You know the poem. Or perhaps you think you do.

How it works

• Each of the eighteen puzzles presents a stanza of The Raven with two words missing.
• Use Poe’s rhyme and rhythm to work out what they are.
• Find both in the 13 × 13 letter grid. They run across, down or diagonally, forwards or backwards.
• There is no word list and no answer key. The complete poem waits at the end of the book. Solve your way through it, and The Raven gradually reveals itself again.

What’s inside

• 18 original word-search puzzles
• 36 missing words to discover
• The complete poem
• A short biography of Edgar Allan Poe
