Oops! I guess this is why we couldn't figure it out .

Here’s the puzzle:

Animals are relia-le, many -ull o- lo-e, true in their a--ections, -re-icta-le in their actions, -rate-ul an- loyal. -i--icult stan-ar-s -or -eo-le to li-e u- to.
--Al-re- A. Monta-ert

Letters left o guess:

The Ps in "predictable", "people", "up" and the last name are not in the puzzle, but also not on the letters left to guess! Oh well. I'm looking foward to the next fun puzzle.

I hadn't realized, there were only three of us guessing letters. It felt like the whole world was there .

CONGRATS NIINA!!!
