People, Characters & Named Groups
Puzzles connecting real people, fictional characters, casts, professions, and named groups. Each guide labels its editing status and explains the clue connections.
How to test this connection
Resolve names before grouping them. Check spelling, aliases and whether a clue is a real person, a fictional character or a role. Then identify a shared group with a clear boundary.
A common wrong turn
A common first name does not prove a shared profession. Do not substitute an unrelated famous person just because their name fits.
A worked comparison
#820 names members of the Fellowship of the Ring. Check membership in that particular group, not merely whether a character appears somewhere in Tolkien’s fictional world.
