About Prose Play
"For readers and writers who enjoy matching their sense of sentence logic and rhythm against the authors they love.” Prose Play is a sentence‑building word puzzle made from real public‑domain prose. You drag shuffled fragments back into the order their authors chose, matching your sense of logic and rhythm against theirs, and solve by feel: which opening, which turn, which landing actually works. Hints don’t define a missing word; they point to the movement of the thought instead. Version 1.1 holds puzzles from three books: Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights, Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, and Homer's Iliad. Ten chapters each, ten sentences per chapter, three hundred in all — arranged from gentle on-ramps to genuine climbs. Before each puzzle you can read what the author wrote just before the sentence you're rebuilding. There are no streaks, no accounts, no hidden modes: one mechanic, drag-to-reorder, and a page of the author's own words waiting on the other side. Every sentence is verified word for word against its public-domain source. None are re-written or generated — only chosen.
What’s new
Version 1.1 · Updated August 24, 2026
Three hundred sentences. Three books. Version 1.1 opens Prose Play into a library with selections from, Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights, Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, and Homer's Iliad in Samuel Butler's translation — ten chapters each, ten sentences per chapter, arranged so the climb steepens as you go. The context window. Before you rebuild a sentence, you can read what the author wrote immediately before it — their real words, not a summary. You stand where they stood: everything up to that point is there, and nothing after it, because the next sentence is the one you're about to make. A glossary for Homer. Butler calls the Greeks by four different names and gives the gods their Roman ones — Jove for Zeus, Minerva for Athena. Eighty-one entries tell you who is who, and never what becomes of them. Every sentence verified. Each one is confirmed word for word against its public-domain source before it ever reaches a puzzle. Nothing is written, smoothed, or generated. The complete texts are free at Project Gutenberg; anyone can check.
