When the world used the Roman calendar, the middle of each month was called the “Ides” and in 44 BC an oracle predicted Julius Caesar’s downfall to be no later than the Ides of March.

Read a book with a title word of four letters or more that can be made from the letters in BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH. Letters may be used only as often as they appear.

REQUIRED: State the word

Nick (doily) | 3392 comments The word HORSE can be made from the phrase:

bewaRE tHe ideS Of march.

But the title The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse uses the word HORSE as a part of a place name. I believe that, since there is a space before HORSE, it counts as a separate word according to GR rules. But I am wanting to make sure.

If it counts, then I can use this book here, correct?

Yes, for the purposes of our challenge, the word horse is classed as a separate word
