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 !!

The Goldfinch? Have you read it?

Wow. You're overdoing it, JoanP.

JoanK · « **Reply #5173 on:** February 06, 2014, 05:13:55 PM »

Wow is right!

No, but if it's about goldfinches, I'm on it. I love them! (I doubt it is, though).

JoanP · « **Reply #5174 on:** February 06, 2014, 05:21:08 PM »

Was that the title? As soon as I read the book was recently published, I immediately thought of it. What a book! I think it will be the book of the year...or maybe the decade...or even the...

JoanK, there's a goldfinch on the cover. The story centers on the theft...and return of a painting of a goldfinch.

jane · « **Reply #5175 on:** February 06, 2014, 05:40:44 PM »

Yes. WINNER!

I posted that you'd won and that I'd not read it, but that post is gone. There must have been a glitch.
