Bringing back a favorite Read-A-Thon game... the title scramble!

Below are 10 titles that are all scrambled. Your goal is to unscramble each of these books!

The scrambles are separated by number of words in the title and amount of letters in each word... but the letters can belong anywhere in the title.

Example: rroyt tarhep = Harry Potter

Remember to put your answers behind spoiler tags and don't tag the books!

1. toeaurri esth mdwsiy
2. cettorslhe baw
3. mrmayd bvaeao
4. frtneaisknen
5. getdig
6. daoiv cdrpidfeepl
7. myw drsaolla
8. rcebeca
9. anri knaanean
10. rlrfeos rsreu dr otboe

If you need a hint: (view spoiler)

I think there needs to be one more "a"

Whoops, y'all are correct. I fixed the vowel issue with #7.

I love the southern drawl in writing :-)

Haha! I just can't get myself to say "you" as plural! Y'all just works so much better for getting my point across.

I wish we used that term here in Connecticut... I just love it .

Is it possible there's a wrong letter in number 1 as well? I think one of the t's needs to be a u.

I would have got a lot more reading done today if I didn't spend so long on this scramble!

Did not do too well at that one

Emily Bourque (emilyardoin) | 11215 comments Mod
Robin, thanks for that correction as well. It's been fixed. I used a website to scramble the letters, but apparently I need to check them more closely next time!


message 19: by Chrissy (new)

Chrissy | 1142 comments I got 5 of them right away, but the rest aren't coming and I probably should get back to work! (I got #s 4, 6, 7, 8, 9.)

Robin P | 4015 comments Mod
I think #10 is a trick question!

Emily Bourque (emilyardoin) | 11215 comments Mod
Haha I have read that one all the way through (view spoiler). But I agree that it was a tough one... it probably should have been a bonus!
