Solving Approach
This one works out to about 4.9 letters per word on average. This puzzle leans toward longer words — apostrophes and doubled letters will likely crack it open faster than word length alone. This is rated easy, so expect the pattern to reveal itself quickly once a few common letters fall into place.
About King Solomon
King Solomon, the tenth-century BCE ruler of ancient Israel, became legendary for his extraordinary wisdom and wealth. He famously prayed for understanding rather than riches, yet his kingdom flourished with unprecedented prosperity and trade. Solomon constructed the First Temple in Jerusalem and authored philosophical works including Proverbs and Ecclesiastes. His reign represented the golden age of Israel, though he is often remembered for his thousand wives and his wise judgment in famous disputes.
Did you know? The Queen of Sheba's visit to Solomon, recorded in 1 Kings 10, has generated centuries of historical and literary traditions across Jewish, Christian, Islamic, and Ethiopian cultures, with Ethiopia's Kebra Nagast text claiming Solomon as an ancestor of the Ethiopian royal line.
