You lost me. Where did those letters come from? Shouldn't it start out with all blanks?
Oh, sorry. Guess I didn't understand the rules.Here's another one, to replace JOEA by EG (unless someone wants to solve that one, too.)
--- -------- ----, by - - ------
You may also want to put a space between each underscore. It is hard to see how many letters there are.S
I'm a slow learner. lol...Here's the revised puzzle, with easier to discern spaces between letters and words._ _ _* _ _ _ _ A_ I_ _ S_* _S I_ N_ _*, by _. _S.
_ _A _ _ _I S_
None of the letters have been on the puzzle so far?I

Wait, the first word was originally three letters, now you have it as four letters, _ _ H _. When a letter is guessed correctly you should replace the blank with the letter. I can't tell if the H is the middle or last letter in the word.

I'm sorry if I screwed up; I've never played this game before, so I just sort of stumbled my way around the mechanics of this, making mistakes along the way.

We will be trying to guess the title of a book and its author’s name.
Anyone who wants to play posts one letter as their "guess".
If you think you know it, post your guess rather than a letter. The person who guesses correctly, starts the next "Guess the Title and Author" game.
Enjoy!
