THE GREAT WOODSIDE PARK PURIM ANAGRAM QUIZ

Here is another chance for families to try their hand with the Great Anagram Quiz , compiled by John David Chart.

Just as the Almighty's guiding hand was "hidden" from view in the text of the fast-moving chain of events in the Purim story, so names and key words - both easy and obscure - in Megillat Esther are hidden in the 50 anagrams below.

Guidance notes:

  1. Names of persons or places et al - denoted by "N"
  2. Words transliterated (Sephardic pronunciation) from the Hebrew are marked "HT"
  3. Words with no markings are ordinary English words
  4. The words are NOT in chronological order - so no easy ride!
