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 !!

_ E L E _ R _ T _

_ N

D E A T H

Letters guessed: E A R N T H D

Congratulations, JoanK. It's very fitting that the Mystery Lady solved the Mystery.

Nice to see mysteries cropping up here.

Give me awhile to think of something.

I'll fill in the "N" and hope there are more: I haven't a clue.

N please

pedln · « **Reply #1985 on:** April 03, 2012, 05:50:59 PM »

The N is pretty obvious so I'll toss in the only R. Ginny read this book within the past month and told us about it somewhere here. A woman wrote a memoir of what happened when she was 17.

W H E N I

___ E ___ ___

___ R ___ ___

T H E ___ ___ ___

JoanK · « **Reply #1986 on:** April 06, 2012, 07:36:06 PM »

I hoped there would be more "n"s. Well, we're still lacking vowels. An A please

pedln · « **Reply #1987 on:** April 07, 2012, 01:20:53 PM »

Alas, there is no A. And just the other day, Ginny told us the author of this book needed a better editor.

W H E N I

___ E ___ ___

___ R ___ ___

T H E ___ ___ ___

JoanK · « **Reply #1988 on:** April 07, 2012, 06:43:23 PM »

A grammatical error then? An "O" please

Frybabe · « **Reply #1989 on:** April 07, 2012, 06:47:42 PM »

Oh, dear. I remember that comment, but cannot remember who she was talking about.

An S, maybe?

pedln · « **Reply #1990 on:** April 07, 2012, 09:08:47 PM »

An O and an S -- that ought to do it. What grammatical error? $:-\$

W H E N I

___ E ___ ___

___ R O ___

T H E S ___ ___

JoanK · « **Reply #1991 on:** April 08, 2012, 03:24:20 PM »

I thought your comment that the author needed an editor was a hint to an error in the title. I guess not.

A "Y" please. And a "K"

JoanK · « **Reply #1992 on:** April 08, 2012, 03:27:38 PM »

My daughter guesses "When I fell from the Sky"?

pedln · « **Reply #1993 on:** April 09, 2012, 11:32:09 AM »

And she is correct. Congratulations.

The author was the lone survivor of a plane that crashed in the jungle in 1971 and made her way to safety by following a stream. It sounded good, but after all of Ginny's comments, I guess not.

JoanK · « **Reply #1994 on:** April 09, 2012, 03:22:09 PM »

Hoorah for daughter Jody. Since she's not here now, I guess I'll have to pick the next book. Give me time to think.

JoanK · « **Reply #1995 on:** April 11, 2012, 06:50:34 PM »

Since my daughter got it, she contributed the next puzzle:

Good guess!
