About this quiz

Horror, murder and comic fantasy sound easy to tell apart, until a title could be any of the three. The novels are drawn from Ribbia's checked lists for each author.

  • The Christie titles are Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple novels, and the Pratchett titles are Discworld novels.
  • A wrong drop is marked and the title moves to its own box; there is no second try.
  • Tap a title and then a box, drag it, or use the arrow keys and a number key.
