Nice quiz! Interesting application of A-Z format to a topic. Allowing 'Henry' as a type-in for all the Henry [] plays is very generous, I would say even too much.

Edward III is canonical now? I know W.S. is considered to have contributed a bit to it (as with Sir Thomas More), but it's not contained in any of the several recent complete editions I own. If it's allowed, then perhaps Love's Labour's Won and Cardenio should be too, as they're widely accepted as lost plays by Shakespeare. Let all this nitpicking not obscure how much I enjoyed this quiz.

Just going by the source, which doesn't include lost plays.
