【明报专讯】■Game 1
The Smarties have come across a new kind of puzzle game again! The aim is to uncover the hidden quote. Since they are new to this game called dropquote, or quotefall, they are trying their hands at this easier version.
Instructions:
1. ''Drop'' each letter into the correct square in each column to reveal the quote.
2. Start by completing the shortest words, such as ''a'', ''I'', ''is'', ''an'', ''be'', ''he'', ''and'', ''for'', etc.
3. Then, complete the columns with fewer letters.
