Welcome to our newest brain teaser: BLANKO

The rules are simple:

The Challenger poses and indicates either a title or the name of an author, but not both.

The Contestants guess the title or author and post their answer; if they can, the solve the entire title. They can also suggest another letter to fill in one of the blanks.

At the end of the day if the puzzle is not solved,
the Challenger then must add only one of the suggested letters the contestants have suggested, everywhere it appears.

The winner becomes the new challenger.

Ex:

Title of Book: three words, a prize winning novel:

___ ___ ___ ___ ___ T __ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___

What is it?

Good Luck !!

___ O ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___

___ ___ ___ ___ ___ R ___

You struck out, JoanK. No O's either.

You all know of this book even if you haven't read it.

pedln · « **Reply #1866 on:** February 20, 2012, 09:16:20 PM »

Aren't you smart, Frybabe, to pick a Dickens this time.

Martin Chuzzlewit

Frybabe · « **Reply #1867 on:** February 20, 2012, 11:43:22 PM »

Clever, maybe. Smart, I don't know about that. Anyhow, with all the Dickens celebrations, etc., how could I neglect him? You are the one who was smart enough to figure it out. Your turn.

pedln · « **Reply #1868 on:** February 21, 2012, 12:21:29 PM »

Relatively new fiction. Someone will get this in a minute, I'm sure.
