Jane Austen Unscramble Game



Thanks to everyone who participated in the Period Drama Couples Quiz last week!

I'm hoping to have a new game each weekend. I've posted the answers and top scores here.

This week's game is all about Jane Austen.




Unscramble the letters below to form words or names related to Jane Austen's characters and novels. 
Puzzle letters are divided up into number of letters in each word/name but letters in whole clue should be rearranged to form answers.
Leave your answers in a comment below and I'll respond with your score. Make sure to include the puzzle numbers when answering.


Minor Characters
1. LIBDE NTYNEA (2 names)
2. CTUY SELEEL (2 names)
3. LDYS RSAEULL (2 words)
4. CRHAK URFILLNHC (2 names)
5. MOB TRTMAER (2 names)

Heroes & Heroines
6. ETNA LNIOEL (2 names)
7. FRAPY NEINC (2 names)
8. DEFERW ARRSDAR (2 names)
9. HOME OWUSEMADO (2 names)
10. NETYH ERYILN (2 names)

Novels & Minor Works
11. DIANTNOIS (1 word)
12. ADSU SLAYN (2 words)
13. NALV NDR DSIPHOEEF (3 words)
14. KRNSMAFEA PLDI (2 words)
15. RBNRGOAABE TEYHN (2 words)


I won't publish your answer comments until later. Feel free to guess as many times as you wish.
Answers to these puzzles will be posted next Saturday.

Have fun!

Very Truly Your's,


Edit November 6, 2011 - Although I had the best of intentions I invariably added extra or left out letters in the puzzles. Thanks to everyone who has been playing and guessing despite this mix ups. I have checked all of the puzzles thoroughly and they should all be fixed now. So sorry for the confusion! :)

    2. Lucy Steele
    7. Fanny Price ( =) :-) =D)
    11. Sanditon

    1. Lydia Bennet

    4. Frank Churchill (there was only one "r" in the puzzle, but it was so close to his name, I couldn't imagine it being anyone else!)
    5. Tom Bertram
    6. Anne Elliot
    7. Fanny Price
    8. Edward Ferrars
    9. Emma Woodhouse (again, I was short one "o", but I didn't know who else it could be)
    10. Henry Tilney
    11. Sanditon
    12. Lady Susan
    13. ?
    14. Mansfield Park

    Okay, here's some more:
    6. Anne Elliot
    8. Edward Farrars (That took me a while!)
    9. Well, that could be 'Emma Woodhouse' except it's missing an 'o'...(Emma Woodhuse? or Wodhouse?)
    10. Henry Tilney
    15. Well, it would be Northanger Abbey with another 'e' (Northanger Abby?)

    I'll have to try more later. =)

    All players,
    I had to add an extra letter to puzzles 3, 9 and 15. I'm very sorry if the lack of letters made the puzzles difficult!

    Okay, adding that extra letter to #3 helped a lot! :D

    #3 is "Lady Russell" and #13 is "Love and Friendship" (I had to do some research on Jane Austen's minor works to figure this one out!). ;)

    Thanks for having this fun activity for us! :)
