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 !!

Eureka! Nicholas Nickelby.

This is PatH, not JoanK. I'm still visiting, so we still get to confuse people.

Winner! Winner! Winner!

That was quick, PatH! Have you read it? I've read so many of Dickens' - but this is the first time for Nicholas...

Good job, JoanP. You didn't even need the X.

JoanP · « **Reply #3624 on:** April 13, 2013, 08:10:05 AM »

I think it was the three letters - the MRS, when I realized it wasn't going to be "and" or "the" - that gave it away...

Here's a brand new fiction one review sounded interesting to me...

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ E _

JoanK · « **Reply #3625 on:** April 13, 2013, 02:11:32 PM »

JOANP: that was brilliant. Pat was betting on me to get it since that's one of my favorite books. But I was nowhere near.
