Oxfordian
Anagrams Most focus on the earl's motto: Vero Nihil Verius (Nothing Truer than Truth) The motto is a pun on the earl's family name of "Vere." The earl's first name was "Edward" and he often spelled his name "Ver," which makes "E. Ver." Oxfordians have thus had a field-day with the words "ever," "never," and "truth" in Shakespeare's works. The dedication page of Shakespeare's Sonnets refers to the poet as "Our Ever-Living"-which Oxfordians note is almost an anagram of a variant of the earl's motto: Nil Vero Verius. All you have to do is alter the "g" to an "s". Stratfordians retort that this is cheating. Other Oxfordian puzzles, anagrams, and hidden clues: |
