Welcome to:

Title Mania!

Title Mania is a simple game which should be a lot of fun! NO peeking at titles and authors, this brain teaser is intended to rack the old grey cells: entirely from your own memory!

Simply give the title of a book which begins with the last letter of the title before it: *

Ex: The Good Earth:
Answer:How Green Was My Valley.
Next: A book title which starts with Y

You have the option of ignoring the letters S,E,X,Y if they are at the end of a word. example: if House is the last word, you could use E (HousE), S (HouSe) or U (HoUse)

* We'll ignore A, An, and The in titles for this game.

How far can we go?

Let's find out.

Enjoy!

Traude, are you a Davies fan? The third in the Salterton trilogy, A Mixture of Frailties, is one of my favorites.

Did you notice that we've neglected this game for two years? Yes, it looks like we are using the last letter for the most part. I almost forget how to play this one.

Frybabe · « **Reply #2673 on:** November 17, 2014, 06:38:45 AM »

Here is Ginny's original instruction.

Simply give the title of a book which begins with the last letter of the title before it: *

Ex: The Good Earth:
Answer:How Green Was My Valley.
Next: A book title which starts with Y

* We'll ignore A, An, and The in titles for this game.

As I remember very, very common letter endings, like e and s at the end, were added later as an option.

PatH · « **Reply #2674 on:** November 17, 2014, 10:25:50 AM »

The letters in SEXY at the end of a word could be ignored, or used, at the player's choice. One reason this died was that we were all getting stuck, having used up all the titles we could think of for some letters. But by now, we will all have forgotten all the titles, and can start over.
