	Awesome ladder! Best in quite a while!

	Good game but the title "Classical Literature" suggests Ancient Greek and Roman Literature; "Classic Literature" might have been better.

	Terrific word ladder - I love how you integrated the theme. A lot of quizzes just have 2 or 3 clues that are vaguely related, so I was pleasantly surprised!

	Yes to the above, nicely done. I also agree with "classic": as I clicked on it, I wondered, briefly, if I'd be in familiar territory with Dickens and Tolstoy, or up the Dardanelles without a paddle with Homer and Hesiod (one of them's blind, so he's no help paddle or not! "Paddleth that way! No, that way!").

	I know that you can rule it out because it doesn't go anywhere as far as number 20 goes, but number 19 could easily have been "Tick." You might consider making that answer also acceptable.
