Let the Right One in?

Exactly. Let the right one in. Your turn.

Okay, list of what's already been done so I don't repeat, since they aren't all touchstoned. . . Can that be a new rule? To touchstone the correct answers when when you verify the guess, that way the list of already chosen titles is conveniently along the side?

@376, Can't be our as there's no O and I can think of a few other 3 letter words to go along with the ones you've said there. Though I'll neither confrm or deny if you're on the right track or not.

Right, canʻt be "our" -- nor "for", nor "not", nor "nor".

Of the __ i _ words: hit, bit, sit, and lit come to mind. Hard to think of any of them as a next-to-last word of a title -- exc ept "hit".

Ok let's see if there is an I?

The 4. word is given as __ __ __ __ ___ (5) in #400 and __ I __ __ __ __ in #402. Which is correct?

The fourth word is a five-letter word in #400 and "I" is one of the five-letter word. It was a typographical error - a "extra blank space" was inserted.Inconvenience regretted. Game is still in progress.
