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's?

You've read it, Marjifay?

marjifay · « **Reply #5371 on:** March 07, 2014, 08:50:21 AM »

No, I've not read it and probably won't. Some members of an online book club I belong to had talked about it, but I'm not sure it's something I'd want to read. Have you read it?

JoanP · « **Reply #5372 on:** March 07, 2014, 08:52:26 AM »

No! I'll bet Fry has though!

Nope, haven't read it - yet. It is another one that I found during my daily book browse. My library has it, so it is on my library TBR List. The other one I found, which the library doesn't have yet, is called The Mad Sculptor. Just published, it is a true crime book following a 1930's murder case.

No, I haven't read Junkyard Dogs yet, but it's on my bloated TBR list. It gets 4+ stars from readers at Amazon.

Give us a tiny hint. Is your new puzzle fiction, nonfiction, or ?

Any A's?

How do you get your printing to be in colors when you post here?
