Who said it?

One quote a day, word for word, from the record. Guess cold for 6 points - or buy clues at a point each. The reveal comes with the source attached.

▸ How to play
  • One quote a day - everyone gets the same one.
  • Guess cold for 6 points. Each clue you take costs 1, down to a floor of 1.
  • A wrong guess reveals the next clue automatically.
  • Type any part of the speaker's name - surname is enough.
  • The reveal is a receipt: date, primary source, fingerprint. Share the spoiler-free grid.
You cannot fight against the future. Time is on our side.

Cold guess scores 6. Each clue costs 1. Wrong guesses reveal the next clue.
