Hi,

123 down, rescreened (movie), the answer is either reran or rerun. No matter which way I look at it, no doubt either answer would fit. However, there can be only one correct answer. Any information would be appreciated.

@dodgy,
RERAN (rescreened is past sentence).

@Dutchy,
I initially thought that, but "rescreened" is also a past participle like "rerun".
EITHER
They rescreened the movie/They reran the movie
OR
The movie was rescreened/The movie was rerun.

I therefore think the question poorly worded as stated here. The argument that "rerun" is also a noun like "movie" might in fact sway the answer to that, assuming "movie" is a synonym for the required word. That argument might be further supported if brackets were consistently used for synonyms by the compiler.

@Dutchy,
Thanks Dutchy and Fresco for your input. As Fresco points out, it is how one interprets the clue. I will be making a note to see which answer Lovatts actually does accept.
