Purim Anagram Quiz
by John Chart
Just as the Almighty's guiding hand was "hidden" from view in the text of the fast-moving chain of events in the Purim story, so names and key words - both easy and obscure - in Megillat Esther are hidden in the 50 anagrams below.
Guidance notes:
Names of persons or places et al - denoted by "N"
