Jalyn (jalynnie) | 3827 comments This thread is for any questions about the SPELL SPOOKY WORDS part of the Octoberfest challenge. It's also for people to sign up and let us know your word choice. Here are the rules again:

For this part of the challenge you have to spell out any Halloween related word with the books you are reading. You get to pick whatever Halloween word that you would like, which means that you get to pick the length of this challenge! HOWEVER, you can only spell a word once, so choose wisely! :)

Word examples: Halloween, Candy, Ghost, Pumpkin, etc.

Rules
You may only use the first letter of the first word in the title. The only exception to this is if the title starts with either "A" or "The." If they title starts with either of those words then you may use the letters "A" or the letter "T" OR you may use the first letter of the word that comes after those words. For example, if the title is The Diviners then you may use the "T" in "The" or the "D" in "Diviners."

I think that you can choose your word any time between now and the start of the challenge, and you can only do 1 word, not multiple words.
Jalyn will confirm this though!

And can you only pick one word or can you finish more words during the challenge?"


Sarah is correct :) You can pick your word anytime between now and the start of the challenge, but you can only pick one word.

Yes! :)


message 24: by Jalyn (new)

Jalyn (jalynnie) | 3827 comments I've noted everyone's words on the SSW main page :)


message 25: by Jalyn (new)

Jalyn (jalynnie) | 3827 comments @Tatian we've decided that it can only be the first letter of the title. It's too easy if we let you use any letter. However, if the title starts with "A" or "The" then you may use either the "A" or the "T" OR you can use the first letter of the word that comes after those. :)


message 26: by Tati (new)

Tati @Jalyn, thanks for clearing that up! I might change my word, though, if that's allowed.
