2. CTUY SELEEL (2 names)
3. LDYS RSAEULL (2 words)
4. CRHAK URFILLNHC (2 names)
5. MOB TRTMAER (2 names)

Heroes & Heroines
6. ETNA LNIOEL (2 names)
7. FRAPY NEINC (2 names)
8. DEFERW ARRSDAR (2 names)

I won't publish your answer comments until later. Feel free to guess as many times as you wish.
Answers to these puzzles will be posted next Saturday.

Have fun!

Very Truly Your's,


Edit November 6, 2011 - Although I had the best of intentions I invariably added extra or left out letters in the puzzles. Thanks to everyone who has been playing and guessing despite this mix ups. I have checked all of the puzzles thoroughly and they should all be fixed now. So sorry for the confusion! :)

Okay, I'm completely stumped on #3 and #13...but here are my guesses for the others:

5. Tom Bertram
6. Anne Elliot
7. Fanny Price
8. Edward Ferrars
9. Emma Woodhouse (again, I was short one "o", but I didn't know who else it could be)
10. Henry Tilney
11. Sanditon
12. Lady Susan
13. ?

Melody said...

Okay, here's some more:

15. Well, it would be Northanger Abbey with another 'e' (Northanger Abby?)

I'll have to try more later. =)

I had to add an extra letter to puzzles 3, 9 and 15. I'm very sorry if the lack of letters made the puzzles difficult!

Okay, adding that extra letter to #3 helped a lot! :D

#3 is "Lady Russell" and #13 is "Love and Friendship" (I had to do some research on Jane Austen's minor works to figure this one out!). ;)

Thanks for having this fun activity for us! :)
