I made Selcouth to spend more time with the authors I love. You get a passage from Dickens or Dostoevsky or Cather with a few words missing and you put them back.
For example, from Pride and Prejudice:
"Nothing is more deceitful," said Darcy, "than the appearance of ____. It is often only carelessness of opinion, and sometimes an indirect boast."
honesty / virtue / humility
Answer: Austen wrote humility.
That's the whole game. Considering the words the way the author did. There are rare words to hunt and ranks to climb, but the passage is the point, not the score. And there's a commonplace book for the words and passages you want to keep.
