Title, not subtitle

Stephanie, the part before the colon is the title; after the colon is the subtitle. You can only use the first part in this task.

that's fine - the punctuation mark isn't counted as a letter.

Marie (UK) (mazza1) | 3946 comments I think i have completely misunderstood this task - I made a word from the letters in both groundhog day and my title the toymakers i.e. Hay but does the word need to be intact in the title? So if there was a T in Groundhog day Toy of toymakers would work?

the title must contain a word that can be made from the letters in GROUNDHOG DAY. And, no, the "toy" in toymakers would not work - the word in the title must be made from the letters found in the target phrase.

Yes. But since there isn't...Sandy's response rules.

The ENTIRE word from the title must be found in the letters of Groundhog Day.
