This mini challenge is all about spell-it outs with game names!

To Begin

Solve this crossword puzzle
(click for larger image)





The missing letters are what you will need to read for in your spell-it-outs.
For example, if the crossword key said:
"4 Across: _NO" the missing letter is U (to make an answer of UNO) and so for that word you would need to read for the letter U using the spell it out rules below.

“Spell-it-out" rules:
Letter needs to be the first letter in the book title, author first name or surname, character name or nickname, or setting. Articles (a/an/the) can be ignored in the book titles. For this spell-it-out, you can also use the first letter in the series name AND you can use cover items on books (e.g. an Avocado on the cover can be used for A)
Where the key says "digit" (in 8 Down) that means that you are looking for a number (e.g. 7) and not a letter



⭐ Only books read March 14-31 will count for this mini challenge.
⭐Books started before March 14th, 7pm AEDST do not count for this mini challenge.
⭐ The usual book length requirement for UNO applies.
⭐Books used for this mini challenge do not need to be separate books for what you are claiming for your UNO hands.
⭐ For each letter read you will receive 5 points, except for some BONUS letters worth 10 points (these are highlighted in purple on your spreadsheet)
⭐ For each word completed, you will receive a bonus 15 points
⭐ A countdown to the start of this mini challenge can be found HERE.

Thank you for all your recommendations!

Now our mini challenge has been announced we are closing this thread :)

Yes, yes, you have guessed it already - the recommendations were not only for our pleasure but there was something more to it ;-)

Since some of you have already added a few of the recommendations to your TBR shelves, we figured that would be an ideal title for our February Mini Challenge. ;-)


All info for the mini challenge can be found HERE. Have fun!

(Co-)Captains, your spreadsheets will be updated with a new sheet for the mini challenge within the next 24 hours.
