What Shakespeare Conquered

Very unique! I wouldn't have thought of putting it that way. Well done.

I finally figured out how to read this puzzle! Very clever. The big question for me is did the writer we call Shakespeare really write the plays or did the real writer(s) just use Shakespeare's name? We may never know with certainty but I think the evidence, as I understand it, points to other more gifted writers. Thank you for stopping by. / M

thanks Maurice...having done the 'writ' i was a little unsure as to how complex it was...shakespeare plays have been a favorite since school because of a fantastic teacher...and yes there are many questions critics have with regards who wrote what but they have no answers ...so, innocent till proven guilty...it seems shakespeare did the writing...geniuses do come and go
