If you think some popular titles are missing, it might be due to them not qualifying for not following some of the other rules, which you can find in more or less all installments of the saga
To explain what may appear as repeats or mistakes in this list:
- The "The/A/An" exception states that when multiple titles OR a single very popular title who begin with such articles were submitted based on the first letter of their second word (example: 'The Eighth Sense' being nominated for E), that round went on to have 2 winners instead of the usual 1, since one would be more proper/legitimate while the other would adhere to actual cataloguing rules. All of this in hopes of not flooding the eventual T-round with a bunch of titles just beginning with "The".
- The "no first letters available" exception states that, in occasions where there literally didn't exist titles beginning with the needed letter, submissions where the letter in question simply appears somewhere else in the name were taken instead.
