Introduction
The sentences below, taken from well-known authors, have been jumbled up. See if you can restore them to their original order. Just as the word ‘listen’ can make meaningless anagrams (ilnets) and also meaningful ones (tinsel, silent, enlist), so also these jumbled sentences could make more than one intelligible sentence — but which one did our author write?
The sentences in this puzzle are taken from a list of 58 games. They are listed shortest first.
1. Dancing about wild was Katie. P. G. Wodehouse
2. Idea haven’t least I the. Cyril Hare
3. And change came suddenly a then. John Buchan
4. I serious believe cannot are you. A. A. Milne
5. Flocked the fairly place they to. P. G. Wodehouse
