This puzzle is different though! It&#8217;s a dropquote. What&#8217;s a dropquote?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In a dropquote, you must reveal the quote hidden in the white squares. Above each column are a series of letters; you &#8220;drop&#8221; each letter into the appropriate squares in each row and column to reveal the quote. Use logic and letter patterns to determine which letter goes where.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Today&#8217;s quote is by Steven Wright, allegedly. I can&#8217;t find any proof that he actually said it, but the internet seems to think he did. If you have evidence this is true, send it my way! And either way, I hope you enjoy.
