Dropquote


 * True joy of nature is when every drop of a letter shines like a quote.

When we find ourselves faced with a mighty struggle in life... think about this humble puzzle, with majestic columns of letters, perched upon a grid of black and white, and behold... the secrets to eternal epiphany.



In a standard dropquote puzzle, the goal is to place the letters (which are usually in alphabetical order) into the (non-black) squares in their columns in some other order, such that a meaningful sentence or phrase appears.



Named so because when it appears in newspaper or puzzle collections, the solution is often an inspirational or life-smart quote from a well-known historical person. In puzzle hunts, more commonly they result in cluephrases, or sentences from some dataset that the rest of the puzzle may use.
