You can use the H, because it's the first letter of the series title :)

(Just checking: How was E used for that particular book? I'm still learning the rules here and would like some clarification. Thank you!)

Thank you! I edited the post, because "e" cannot be used. I'm so tired right now, I didn't even realize that. :/

[Andrea]

No problem. I was wondering if I had missed something.

Holly, "R, T, W, C, B" are the letters you can use for this title. Which would you like (T has already been guessed)

Holly, ..."

So I guess I'm confused... how does "W" or "T" play into it... I thought you could use any letter from the title...

I guess I'll pick R...

Let..."

So I get it now... basically... disregard my previous question

[Melanie, ✞Moderator, Avid Reader, & Blogger ✞]

Only the first letter of the title, first letter of the series, or first letter of the authors first/last name. If the first word is an article, you can choose to use the first letter of the next word.

So for this book, the series starts with"The", so you can either use that word and do "t" or skip it and do "W". Or you can use the other options and go with the first letter of the title/author. But, that's where the T and W come in.

[Melanie, ✞Moderator, Avid Reader, & Blogger ✞]

Lol, I just saw your second comment, so ignore my answer -- it took me too long to type and you had already posted to disregard the question. ;p

Melanie, why did the puzzles solved jump up by five instead of one?

Human error. Haha. I'll correct it in the morning. :)

I corrected it. My copy only has 598 pages. This is the copy I got from the publisher.
