mathgrant Apr 06, 2009	It could also be words that rhyme with trees, in which case cloak rhymes with oak.
perrygf Apr 06, 2009	Great teaser! I needed the hint!
crazy10man Apr 06, 2009	Sorry, but I agree with SIMARY1901! Not very good at all.
doehead Apr 06, 2009	What made this a stupid teaser is that Yew is not a tree. It is a member of the shrub family.
bradon182001 Apr 06, 2009	Even with the hint I had no clue. Good job. Thanks for posting.

bluefever101 Apr 06, 2009	I figured out most of it, but I thought staple was maple and clicked answer before I realized that I would have to remove TWO letters form staple.
jingles01 Apr 06, 2009	I got it!!!!
