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 !!

FICTION

No L's

___ H E

___ R E ___ ___

___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___

GUESSED: E, F, L, R

Is there such a book as The Great Orange?

JoanP · « **Reply #3693 on:** April 23, 2013, 07:18:21 PM »

Not that I know of, Fry. No O's in this title. But I think you know what it is -

JoanK · « **Reply #3694 on:** April 24, 2013, 04:19:21 PM »

No idea. Let's fill in that A anyhow.

Frybabe · « **Reply #3695 on:** April 24, 2013, 04:33:12 PM »

Could be The Great Bridge - Brooklyn Bridge that is.

JoanP · « **Reply #3696 on:** April 24, 2013, 04:59:12 PM »

WINNER! WINNER! WINNER!

That's it - David McCullough's great book on a great bridge! Have you read it? I saw you ask for a B yesterday and thought you had it...and then the B disappeared...

JoanK · « **Reply #3697 on:** April 24, 2013, 06:02:51 PM »

Ouch! headslap! It's sitting right in my bookcase staring at me!

Frybabe · « **Reply #3698 on:** April 24, 2013, 07:17:31 PM »

No I haven't read it.

About the B, that was weird. I thought I must have hit cancel instead of post.

This is fiction.

I'm trying to figure out how my bolded items are coming out Maroon when I didn't designate them that way. Not that I mind, it's just a puzzle. Maybe that's the color I used the last time I changed color.

jane · « **Reply #3701 on:** April 25, 2013, 09:29:10 AM »

I don't see maroon. I see bold black.
