In ALL options the 5 letter words should stand alone

For the purpose of this task Y is considered a Consonant

yes that works

For Confirmation

1. FACES: Temple of a Thousand Faces
2 Vowels AE

2. Death: Death In Shanghai
A moved from spot 2 to Spot 3 and E moved from spot 4 to spot 2

you are good to go

I think I have it - just checking to make sure on these options:

AFTER - After All These Years
WHALE - People of the Whale

or

EARLY - Early Riser
DEATH - A Death of No Importance

Vowels seem to be easier to work with than consonants

This took some time but I found some options:

Book 2: The Summer Wives - WIVES

Option A)
The Raven Spell - RAVEN
A Place Called Here- PLACE

Deborah wrote: "Option A)

yes those work - happy reading

I'm sorry to ask for help when it's probably quite obvious, but I have a lot of brain fog.. So just to be sure...

Option B
House of Earth and Blood - HOUSE
Losing His Shirt - SHIRT

that works and congrats on keeping the consonants &replacing the vowels I have been finding doing it that way more difficult

I think this is right, but I'm not sure. Please let me know.

Book 1: A Light Comedy by Eduardo Mendoza, light is the word
I then removed the consonants, moved the vowel i to the 4th position, and added an a.
Book 2: The Paris Orphan by Natasha Lester, Paris is the word

Lol I also added new consonants p, r, and s

those work Wayne

Just checking I am understanding correctly, would this work

Taste- Stanley Tucci
How to Clean Everything- Ann Russell

Just making sure I got this right

Option 2a
MAGIC - DIARY

So just confirming, for the vowels moving I wondered about TWICE and RIDGE - but if I read the task right, that wouldn't work, as the E is in the same place? Right?

so this does not work as you say the E is in the same place

with twice you could go RIDER . WINES. INNER as examples of moving vowels
i don't see any options for moving consonants

I really wanted to find a consonant change option just because, but I'm just losing the plot with it so I'm going to go for the straightforward route.

Can I please double check that DEMON (Demon Copperhead) works with HOUSE (House of Hollow)? In the book, Demon is a proper noun but since it is a common noun in regular usage that should be okay for Wordle, right?

those work consonant change is hard ( i didn't realise how hard)
ANGER and RINGS was all i could think of.

just realised that Wines would not work in my examples because I didn't get rid of the W sorry for any confusion

While looking through my TBR list, I believe I found another vowel replacement:
UNDER>GRAND

Kathy KS wrote: "While looking through my TBR list, I believe I found another vowel replacement:

yes that works

I'll get there with this in the end.

Is there any reason a name can't be used if it's five letters? For example GIFTS > then keep the I, lose GFTS, and add DAVD to get DAVID.

Thanks.

Thanks."


As long as it is a 5 letter word there are no stipulations as to whether it is a name / proper noun so David is fine

Thank you!

If the word is ROBOT, does the second word have to have 2 O's? or would 1 O satisfy? Thanks

Deedee wrote: "If the word is ROBOT, does the second word have to have 2 O's? or would 1 O satisfy? Thanks"

I am sorry it has taken me so long to answer this , I completely missed the post.
You would have to keep both O's as for the purposes of this task they are both vowels
I think this would be quite difficult to do as they would both have to be in different spots.

Marie (UK) wrote: "I think this would be quite difficult to do as they would both have to be in different spots"

There's a small number of words that might work: adobo, ozone, photo, promo. Definitely a tough one though!

photo wont work as you also have T in first word
ETA in fact, when I look properly only OZONE doesn't re use any of the consonants from the first word

Marie (UK) wrote: "photo wont work as you also have T in first word

Oh, good catch. I clearly wasn't thinking straight when I went looking for options!

Kaora wrote: "I'm not sure if I'm understanding this correctly. Can I use the word HOUSE and GUEST for option 1 the vowels.

U and E have been moved.

OR

PINES and WHITE I and E moved."

House and Guest does not work as although you have moved the vowels there is an S in both words and all the consonants should be different

Pines and White does work you have kept and moved the vowels and added new consonants

Just a heads up for everyone. I go away next week for a 7 day holiday. I will check the thread before I leave and will try to keep an eye whilst away but it may take me longer to reply.

I'd like to check two books to make sure they work for this task. I found the words taste and clean were deemed ok in the help thread (Thanks to whoever it was that asked about them) so I'd like to confirm these two books A Taste for Poison: Eleven Deadly Molecules and the Killers Who Used Them (taste) and One Clean Shot: Rookie Club Book 2 (clean)
Thanks, Andy

I keep thinking I've found something and then realize there is a common letter that shouldn't be there.

Can you please verify AFTER and SHADE?
After the Storm
Castle Shade
