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 !!

I don't think we need a different puzzle, bluebird, but more space between the words would help my eyes.

Perhaps you could put 4 or so spaces between the words...or put the words on separate lines for those of us with poorer vision?

Wow! I bet that's it. I love that book, read it many times. But I don't think I could have guessed it that quickly.

That was a good one, bluebird...and a wonderful old book too! How did you think of it?

This one is short and sweet. I shouldn't forget to fill in any letters this time:

_ _ _ - _ I _ _

So short it looks daunting. E?
