About this quiz

Four of Shakespeare's comedies and 7 characters from each. Nobody on the board speaks in more than one of the four plays.

  • Title characters are left out, so the board never hands you a play for free.
  • A wrong drop is marked and the character moves to the right box; there is no second try.
  • Tap a character and then a box, drag it, or use the arrow keys and a number key.
