A hidden sentence, revealed by the answers to its clues. The clock starts when you press start — not before.
An English lawyer wrote the words, then fitted them to the Londonderry Air after his sister-in-law sent him the tune from America.
Two ways in. Type an answer from the list above and its letters appear in the sentence. Or type a word you can guess from the sentence itself — it fills in where it stands, and completes the answers those letters belong to. Every letter of the sentence belongs to exactly one answer, and the small number on a tile is its position in the sentence. Hover a clue to see which tiles it owns.
