Man, this was super challenging. “Shakespearean Insults<\/a>“, from the Unemployed Philosophers Guild — a 1000 piece puzzle. Pale blue and dark blue and black text, serif and sans serif, italics, camel case and all caps, and varying sizes … it was all totally doable but you had to stare at it a long time! Luckily my friends all helped (“puzzling with friends<\/a>“) (Hank, Kathy, Cara, Beth), and this puzzle found a good home with my dear friend Hank, a Shakespeare nerd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, I really feel they missed a few critical insults, like, “He hath no drowning mark upon him. His complexion is perfect gallows.” and “A pox on your throat, you bawling, blasphemous incharitable dog!” (both from The Tempest<\/em>). I mean, there are a lot of options.
