Would a hyphenated word work? Three-legged Horse

Bea wrote: "Would a hyphenated word work? Three-legged Horse"

Sorry, no. The relevant word must stand alone.

OK...I also have One Foot In The Gravy which should be OK.

Bea wrote: "OK...I also have One Foot In The Gravy ..."

Unfortunately, since this is a card game, there is no "one" - the numbers run from 2 to 10, and then there's the ace.

I would like to use an Ebook for this task. Can I get it approved here? It is The Last King of the Jews

Thanks!

Thanks!"

The title works, but if you're looking for length verification, you'll need to do that in the ebook verification thread.

Would this book work for the task?

No, sorry, the specific number must stand alone.

If you're thinking about using this for some other task, please keep in mind that it's under 100 pages, and from the description appears to have many photographs and pictures in it. Unless it's a "graphic novel," a book must be predominantly text, not pictures, to be used for an SRC task.
