Do we still need a book for Green7? I have one I can read. Has everyone seen the new mini? It starts today! Details here.
I'll work on updating. I believe we still need a book for that card Elena. If not, we still need some Wild Draw 4's we can use it for.Thanks for updating everyone on the mini!!
New Mini Challenge!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
ANY Questions please let me know. Let's work together to figure out the missing letters first and I'll update the spreadsheet so at least we know what we need to work with.
When posting books please let me know if they will work for the Mini challenge or not. They needed to be started AFTER 4am est. on March 14

Thanks Michelle!
2 Down: CraniumI've filled in the spreadsheet with all the info :)
We'll need to read books to fill the letters on the spreadsheet. Same rules as with Uno (author, character, title, setting) but we can also use items on cover and series name as well to cover the spot.
2 down dominion? That might be an extra letter.
Thanks Elena - I haven't heard of some of them either!!!! Thanks Annalisa :) That is an extra letter tho.
I had to search through numerous google guesses for that one!!! And it was one I've heard of LOL
I'm reading The Obsession for the 9 Blue. It will work for a Wild Draw 4 too since Su Ah is reading for that as well. Of course I started it last night!
Lol Melissa! Thanks for updating the mini sheet! A couple of tough letters but most look pretty easy, and so many As!
I'm starting
for Green7 and it will work for the mini too.
I know!! It should be alright tho - I know we can complete again!!Thanks I'll update the spreadsheet to show.
