Does words like "the" or "of" count? For example, is this book ok for this task: Riders of the Purple Sage?
Mod
Every word counts, so the book works.
Mod
yes, that would be 7.
would hyphenated words count as 1 or 2 words?
Mod
one word - no space in between them.

Thanks!

The Lies of Locke Lamora"
The title clearly meets the requirement of 5 words, so no approval is necessary.
I'm not sure whether this counts as five or six words, with the "All is" being abbreviated to "All's". Does it meet the requirement?All's Well That Ends Well
Mod
All's Well That Ends Well"
That works. It's one word in the title, so we go with that, rather than changing the title because of the contraction.
Sandy wrote: "That works."Great, thanks!
