One real news sentence, 28 words, cut down to the five that still tell the story. That is the whole game, with a new sentence every morning. sheets.works/long-story-short #longstoryshort

28 words. Keep five. Arsenal were three down when a fan stormed out of his house, and in the valley below he found a stranded woman, chest-deep in mud for four hours.

18 words left. The mud, the four hours and the valley are struck out.

5 words left. The score, the walk-out and the small joining words are struck out too.

The five that are left: Arsenal fan found stranded woman.

Guess the story from five words. Three real ones from this week, and the full sentence is in the next post each time.

Guess the story. Five words from a real news sentence.

What happened? Five tiles: Six-year-old, broke, girls', Rubik's-Cube, record.
