Erm.. that's not how the game works. It's whoever gets the last correct element, not the most. The quote isn't even finished, is it?
"Suppose we have only dreamed and made up these things like sun, sky, stars and moon, and Aslan himself. In that case, it seems to me that the made-up things are a good deal better than the real ones. And if this black/_i_s/of a kingdom is the best you can make, then it's a poor world. And we four can make a dream world to lick your real one hollow." aids, ails, aims, airs, bias, bibs, bics, bids, bigs, bins, bios, bips, bits, cigs, dibs, dies, digs, dims, dins, dips, diss, fibs, figs, fins, firs, fits, gigs, gins, gits, hips, hiss, hits, kids, kins, kips, kiss, kits, libs, lids, lies, lips, mics, mids, migs, miss, nibs, nips, nits, oils, pics, pies, pigs, pins, pips, piss, pits, ribs, rids, rigs, rims, rios, rips, sigs, sils, sims, sins, sips, sirs, sits, tibs, tics, ties, tins, tips, tits, vies, wigs, wins, wits... NONE OF THESE IDIOT WORDS FIT EXACTLY RIGHT!!! Katt, are you SURE you posted it in there correctly? To me the BEST choices are "pits" or "digs"... or maybe "miss". But both "pits" and "digs" are plural, while "this" (which precedes it) is singular. "Miss" just doesn't sound like Lewis OR Puddleglum to me, but what do I know? I'll guess "miss"... seeing as how I'm pretty sure that both Lewis and Puddleglum were smart enough to use proper grammar.

"one" in the first line is wrong, so is "taking". "art" in the fifth line is wrong and "kick" (funny, though!). I think that's it.
"Her/_a_e_t_/is in the/_i_h_/. If we had/_n_/a_s_r_n_e/of/_a_i_g/ her by battle, our duty would be very plain. It appears to me that we have none. And the/s_r_i_e/ they/_s_/of her is in no way contrary to her Majesty's honor, but a noble and/h_r_i_a_/a_t/. If the Queen's heart moves her to/_i_k/ the magician, I will not speak against it."

Yes. Reepicheep is the speaker. Varna, you got the last piece, so it's your turn.

I don't know. He never gets for /_n_u_h/. But there's more than that. One /_i_h_/-it was /_a_t/_i_h_/ in fact-/a_/ I was going /_a_t/ the food of the /_t_i_/-/s_a_r_/ on my way to her (and I don't much care for /_o_n_/p_a_/t_e_/e_t_e_/) I'm sure I heard a bell."

A lot of it is right! Here it is with corrections:
I don't know. He never gets /f_r/_n_u_h/. But there's more than that. One /_i_h_/-it was /_a_t/_i_h_/ in fact-/a_/ I was going /_a_t/ the/f_o_/of the /_t_i_/-/s_a_r_/ on my way to/_e_/(and I don't much care for /_o_n_/p_a_/t_e_/e_t_e_/) I'm sure I heard a/_e_l/. Good to see someone at the Narnia Quote Game again!

Trying to chip away at it a bit at a time.

All correct so far!
Yes, one bit at a time is a good way of working on it.
