Eleven letters or eleventy?

Well, letters are just that, letters of the alphabet, computer software or not. We are to find 11 letters and rearrange them. Now, whether there are any other characters separating them or not, I guess we will have to guess on our own.

The original post specifically said 11 letters

Besides, are they 11 distinct letters (this will be answered as soon as we find one that's repeated)?[*]

And are they case-sensitive? If they are, we have 3 capital letters so far...

* My guess is there will be two repeated letters, that makes it less than 10 million combinations

Just managed to find the fourth letter. And after we've found all the letters, we still, have to rearrange them. Cripes

I'm with you. I believe there will be two letters that are repeated.

That's my guess, too - but I wouldn't wonder if there's a catch, and it's really another title. Else it's a little too easy, isn't it?

Perhaps we picked a title that is actually an anagram of another title. Ever think of that?

That was what I was thinking

Aren't we getting a mix of letter cases though?
