Your target word must be four or more letters. All the letters in your target word must appear in the phrase "GIANT FLYING HELMET." Although your word has more than four letters, the letter "K" does not appear in the phrase, therefore the word "Knightley" does not work for Option 4.

Also, I have not made special provisions for "Children's" books. That does not necessarliy mean you cannot use them. Go back to the FAQ's or Rules of the Challenge for Children's books rules. (Children's Books rules confuse me, and I simply try to avoid them.)

If your book works under Children's book rules, then I see that it has the GR genre "Adventure" and could thus probably work for task 5.1, if that's any help. I would ask under the 5.1 help thread.

Kate (kathrynlouwca) | 1002 comments For Option 4, do names work for words? I've been working my way through the Anne of Green Gables series and Anne has 4 letters and they're all in the phrase but it is a name so I wasn't sure if that was allow.

Thanks!

A name is a word, so it will work -- but it must be in the title or subtitle, not just the series title.

You will need to point out that the word "NINTH" has all of its letters in the target phrase, "gIaNT flyiNg Helmet" and then this one works.

Sorry to be tardy with this answer, but "Matter" does not work because there is no "R" in the target phrase "GIANT FLYING HELMET." Every letter in the word of four or more letters must be in the target phrase.
