Wow, great job, Guinevere (I love your name btw. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img])! Well, I knew it was pretty easy but with only three letters...I'm speechless!
Ok, carry on now. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Guinevere · 03-27-2003, 05:13 PM

Thank you, Annunfuiniel! Actually the clue for me was: ,SA-, [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I enjoy the fact that here in the Palantir of Fortune we can use well known quotes and poems that would otherwise be too easy. You just need less letters to guess those.

Well, here is a new one:

"-----/ ---/ --------/! ------/ ---/ ---/ ------/,
----/ ---/ ---/ ------/.----/ ---/ -----/ --/ ------/,
-----/ ----/ -----/ ----/. ---/ ---/ -----/ --/!

Eruanna · 03-27-2003, 05:15 PM

May we have an A please?

gilraën · 03-27-2003, 06:11 PM

May I have an E please?

Btw, somewhere in the beginning of this thread, someone (I think it was Diamond18) guessed "Gil-Galad was an Elven-king etc" without any letters, only because of the two hyphens and the statement that it was a song. That was cool! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
