Proverbs 3

The Words of the Wise Bible Crossword

15×15 grid · Medium · Ends on Proverbs 3:5

Proverbs is a book of one-line arguments, and a surprising number of them have become ordinary English: a soft answer turneth away wrath, pride goeth before destruction, go to the ant thou sluggard. Words of the Wise makes a grid of the sayings themselves.

Because each proverb is self-contained, the clues can quote one and leave a word out — which is a very direct way to learn them. The closing verse is the one most people who know a proverb know.

Clues from the puzzle

1A“___ in the LORD with all thine heart”(5)
2D“lean not unto thine own ___”(13)
3AA soft answer turneth away this(5)
4D“Go to the ___, thou sluggard”(3)

The answers are waiting in the app — every clue can be solved from the story itself, and fair hints help when you're stuck.
