Miss_Xuni Nov 18, 2005	'Twas easy, but, fun, yo.
scm14 Nov 20, 2005	Once I figured out what I was supposed to do, it was pretty easy. Nice job!!!
brainster Nov 21, 2005	Thanks you guys, I am really glad you liked it! I had a lot of fun making it!
emyrocks Feb 23, 2006	dang i had four... i didnt get how to get the anagrams out of the anagrams... u.u it was kool though
pleroux Feb 23, 2006	Nicely done! Easy but very fun
bootscooter58 Feb 23, 2006	I'be noticed in the comments here and on other teasers that some folks think that easy is a bad thing.... I guess, since I have so much trouble on the tough ones, I'm happy to see an easy one come along. It's like a wiff of fresh air in my muddled brain. Yes, this was fun, and a bit easy. And that's ok!! It had me sitting here grinning that I was able to solve one. Thanks for creating it and keep them coming.
bobbet Feb 23, 2006	once i figured out what to do itwas fairly easy. Am I copying someone?
mommablough Feb 23, 2006	This puzzle was easy when I understood the directions
lindquist_25 Feb 23, 2006	Ohhh I got it now. I think the directions were too vaugue. Maybe you should have worked harder to make clear directions. I didn't understand it at all. I'm looking at the answer and I'm just like "What?! These aren't anagrams!" The I figured it out. So anyway, that's my opinion. It was kind of cute though.
shawneeo Feb 23, 2006	I thought it was fairly easy, but very good! What made it easy (for some) were the clue sentences cause there weren't other words that would work in the spaces. Bood job, thanks!
bradon182001 Feb 23, 2006	Good one. I came up with the right answers, but wasn't sure because the directions were not very clear. Really made me think on this one.
coachpisco Feb 23, 2006	I mis-read the directions. I thought the anagrams were on the same line, not above and below each other.
OldChinaHand Feb 23, 2006	Ah! The directions were the true teaser. The teaster a mear red hearing. Very cleaver.
lorelle_b Feb 23, 2006	very easy but very good! A+
smee Feb 23, 2006	This one was easy AND fun! I was actually able to solve a teaser for a change! I personally didn't have any problems understanding the directions, but I had to read it twice before learning how to do it right. Good job, and keep 'em coming!
ceeyaaa Feb 23, 2006	Good teaser..fun to do!!
vlerma Feb 23, 2006	Hey, what fun. I had gotten trap and part for #1 and rapt and team on #2 and then I figured out the directions because I could make meat out of team and rapt out of trap. Sooooo, the rest was easy. I'm glad I am starting to understand the anagrams.And I thought the directions couldn't have been written any different, once everything fell into place. Nice job.
iteachkids Feb 23, 2006	I'm with bootscooter58 - I think it's great fun to have an easy one from time-to-time. As for the directions, I didn't have a problem with them at all. Thanks, brainster!
speediebean Feb 23, 2006	I have finally figured out that 2 jumbo cups of coffee are the answer for me, 'cause I got 'em all right!! Oh, and I didn't have any trouble understanding the directions either. Very fun, thank you!!!

eabreu92 Feb 25, 2006	at first, i didn't understand what the answer was supposed to be because I misunderstood the directions, but then i reread them and I figured it out... well, good teaser....
RRAMMOHAN Mar 01, 2006	An easy one. Maybe it was easy for me to get the answers quickly, as I love anagrams. Good fun!
Trishgal Feb 23, 2007	Easy,and the directions were fine With 2 groups of anagrams 3 sentences -how else could it have worked-Thx

dachshund2k3 Feb 23, 2007	Oops i did it backwards. I thought the words in each sentence were anagrams.
jamy400 Feb 23, 2007	Very fun and enjoyable.I only got two of three.The first and the last.Keep up the great work!!!
feste Feb 23, 2007	Whew, am I glad I reread the instructions; after that it was a piece of cake. I would have preferred more of a challenge.
jabdr Feb 23, 2007	I've been batting a whopping '0' lately...it was fun to finally get one. Clever teaser! Looking forward to Triplets lll.
GobyDude Feb 23, 2007	I misunderstood the directions. They were slightly unclear.
breathesunshine Feb 23, 2007	Got it right even though I thought I was wrong! Fun one!
lmurray Feb 23, 2007	EASY? Dear Uncle Larry, ....."Thanks for the brain teaser, but I thought it was kinda easy." .... A EXCERPT FROM AN EMAIL FROM MY 16 YEAR OLD NIECE.
jcann Feb 23, 2007	Good job! I like anagram teasers whether they are easy or hard. I don't see how the directions could have been any more clear. I tried the wrong thing at first, trying to make the two words in each sentence an anagram of each other, but that was my fault for not reading the directions--not the way the directions were written.
peeve30 Feb 23, 2007	I didnt take the time to read the directions correctly, so I was confused at first, but just for a second! I liked it, great job!!!
wordmama Feb 25, 2007	Very easy and very fun!! Thanks, Brainster!!
Qrystal Mar 06, 2007	ewww... vlerma made meat out of the team. Cannibal! Anyways, I liked this teaser because it was a cute way to display some anagram triplets in a way I hadn't seen. I've seen the anagram triplets before though, and that made it easier than it could've been, but that's okay, I haven't had much time to focus on teasers for long lately. So yay, I got it and that makes me smile!
doehead Mar 07, 2010	Very easy
auntiesis Mar 07, 2010	It took me a minute to figure out the directions, but the teaser was really easy once I got past the instructions. Fun one.
patiencewithaP Mar 07, 2010	Fun once I figured out how to do it! Great job!
katie384 Mar 07, 2010	AHHHH. now I get it. I had some of the words but I thought the anagrams were suposed to be on the same line. fun teaser.
katie384 Mar 07, 2010	AHHHH. now I get it. I had some of the words but I thought the anagrams were suposed to be on the same line. fun teaser.
TallTimber Mar 07, 2010	Fun teaser.
J-Mac Mar 07, 2010	Directions seemed clear to me, though you had to read closely. Pretty easy but it was fun. Thanks! Jim
gaylewolf Mar 07, 2010	Good one! Thanks
Johnny Mar 14, 2010	good
Babe Mar 07, 2013	I too had a time figuring out the directions. Not being alone on this makes me feel not quite so dumb. I got them after I figured it out and then it was easy!
HABS2933 Mar 07, 2013	I didn't have any problems with what you were supposed to do, though upon second reading when others said they had I can see where it may have confused some of the none English speakers. Teaser itself was fairly easy. But given that the author most likely speaks English as a second language, it was enjoyable.
cutebug Mar 07, 2013	Once you get the first one the others are automatic. I agree w/ HABS remarks. He showed his profound brillance again.
Maggiethe8th Mar 07, 2013	I knew the key was going to be in the directions, and had to actually make myself Read them until I stopped skimming That was its own teaser! It fell into place & worked!
gaylewolf Mar 07, 2013	I love these puzzles! I noticed a couple of us responded back in 2010! Looking forward to a great weekend - wedding and baby shower - my grandchildren are growing up!
auntiesis Mar 07, 2013	Easy, but fun for the young kids in the family.
iggy39 Mar 07, 2013	It was a cute but very easy teaser. I like it when I can get them.
hermygranger123 Mar 07, 2013	Easy, but fun!
