Title Letters : Answers (Don’t Click Until You’re Ready For Them!)
So as not to spoil the fun, I’ll post the answers here – but in the first comment, not in the main body. So don’t click through until you’re ready to see them.
If you clicked straight into this message then you’ll probably see the comments anyway, which is why I put the spoiler warning in the title like that. If you’re browsing the home page and this is the first post you’re seeing, don’t click for the answers yet, scroll down until you find the actual game and then give it a shot.

Since I originally made this list in 2005 and don't know what source material I used at the time. I would have thought I'd used First Folio titles, but I see at least one mistake I made. But they jive almost perfectly with the above link so it's not like I made them up :)
1 TT
The Tempest
2 TTGOV
The Two Gentlemen of Verona
3 PPOT
Pericles, Prince of Tyre
4 AMND
A Midsummer Night's Dream
5 TTOOTMOV
The Tragedy of Othello, The Moor of Venice
6 TLOTOA
The Life of Timon of Athens
7 TNOWYW
Twelfth Night, or, What You Will
8 C
Cymbeline (* Here I think is my mistake, as if I use the above link as source material, the others all appear accurate but this one should have been TTOC - The Tragedy of Cymbeline. But that would conflict with the other one down below...)
9 LLL
Love's Labour's Lost
10 MFM
Measure For Measure
11 TFPOHTF
The First Part of Henry The Fourth
12 TSPOHTF
The Second Part Of Henry The Fourth
13 TLADOKJ
The Life And Death Of King John
14 TTOC
The Tragedy of Coriolanus (* See note re: Cymbeline)
15 TFHOTLOKHTE
The Famous History Of The Life Of King Henry The Eighth
I really like these two plays, particularly in the Quarto editions:
TFPOTCOTTFHOYALWTDOTGDH
and
TTTORDOYATGKHTS.
Wait for it . . .
Wait for it . . .
Keep waiting . . .
. . . and . . .
The First Part of the Contention of the Two Famous Houses of Yorke and Lancaster, with the Death of the Good Duke Humfrey (a.k.a. 2 and 3 Henry VI)
and
The True Tragedy of Richard Duke of Yorke and the Good King Henry the Sixth (a.k.a. 3 Henry VI).
I really, really thought 8 was Cardenio, because I knew that "Coriolanus" and "Cymbeline" were both listed as "The Tragedy of..." in the Folio. Otherwise I got them all right away, except 15 which took a few seconds (it's one of the four plays I haven't read.)
