Great job! I loved it! Very cute!
the second jump i skip
it was a breeze .
I got it.
Sorry - I was headed in the wrong direction with this one! Cutebug, please respond! Thanks!
I started w/ butter-bitter -better, but knew they didn't associate. Then the light came on and I was fortunate enough to figure it out.
There were so many possible words to put in front of the given ones, that I had to resort to looking at the hint. Once I did it was glaring obvious what the right ones were. Good teaser, I love the game Tri-Bond.
I also thought butterscotch at first. Perhaps because it's baking season. Mmm. Then I looked again and realized that the number of spaces was different between the first and second clue, so figured that meant the words had x-many letters. Then that part was easy. But I am unfamiliar with 'triple jump', is that equestrian or gymnastics? I suppose I could google it, but I have cards to send and cookies to bake. Happy & Merry to all! =)
I got hop and jump right away, but since skip-child didn't make any sense, I was slowed down for a few seconds until I thought of my two step-daughters!! However, it's a good thing I didn't need the hint, as it meant nothing to me!
Happy Chanukah!
Happy Chanukah!
I didn't get it Great teaser!
Excellent teaser. I enjoyed solving it.
Well, I sort of got it -- being a sports ignoramus I related the three words as all being means of pedal locomotion, which is also as true as that they are the names of the stages in a track and field event.
I have never heard of hop, step, and jump. I always heard hop skip and jump. Skip child would not work so I only got two out of the three. Hop and jump and was left dangling. Oh well it was fun!
simple, yet fun. It is usually stated as hop, skip and jump...but since that didn't work here, it was a quick brain leap to get step! Nice job
Ditto to Raisin99.
I didn't get it on my own, but it was pretty clever
I also thought it was a variation on "hop, skip, jump," or that it named three ways to move your feet.
I got all of the words although I am not familiar with triple jump and thought they were three types of movements. The hint gave us triple but it was not helpful. I enjoyed figuring out the words despite not understanding the relationship between them.
