I'm not sure I entirely understand this challenge.
Savannah wrote: "I'm not sure I entirely understand this challenge."Since we have plenty of A-Z challenges this is kind of their spin off.
You pick different letter from different A-Z challenge.
For example you do the A word from Herbs & Spices, B word from Yoga & Meditation, C word from Professions & Avocations and so on.
Of course how many and what letters you do depends on level you choose.
Make sense?

I think so. So if I pick Mythical Creatures for say U, I just pick a mythical creature that starts with U, like Unicorn, and I pick H from Hero Alphabet, I pick a hero that starts with H, like Hercules.
Or, do I have to pick a word that someone that was in that challenge used?
Or can I only pick one challenge to use for all the letters that I do?

This is exactly correct!! Have fun picking

If you pick all letters from one challenge, you're basically doing that challenge not this one :)

In this A-Z challenges in most cases you don't have enough space in one post for all letters/words after you start updating with finished books.

For this, our 27th A-Z challenge*, you may take a sampling of all our prior Spell-It-Out A-Z - or Alphabet - challenges and spell out words of your choosing.
Duration: You set the pace!
Rules: Choose a different letter from each challenge. If you haven’t done any of them before, you have a lot to choose from. If you’ve already completed some - or all! - of the letters for a certain challenge, you may repeat your favorite word, or choose a different one this time around.
Also, you don’t have to do all 26 letters for this challenge. You may decide on a level and choose just the letters you want (like, your name! or your initials, or the last names of a few of your favorite authors). Then pick words from the different challenges to spell that start with the respective letters to your chosen words.
Whether it is an herb, animal, or a texting acronym you select, read books with titles, series names, authors (first or last name), character (first or last name), that begin with letters that correspond to letter of the herb or spice you choose. You may ignore the indefinite and definite articles (a, an, the, etc.).
Levels: - The number of books will vary, depending on the words you choose...so, we’ll go by letters.Example of Spell-It-Out: - Here we are choosing the “M� for “Mod Account� and selecting from the Cooking & Cookware Challenge to spell “mixer.� Then we could choose for “O� from the Animal Alphabet Reading Challenge and spell out “orangutan.� And so on... Be sure to tell us from which challenge you are taking your words. If you need to know, here is info on how to Add a Book or Bookcover Link.
