speedqueenkmw Jan 13, 2007	enjoyed it
katamaster Jan 16, 2007	I got them all but the last one I was also thinking about gigantic titanic
Qrystal Jan 16, 2007	Well, that was fun~! I only missed two. For #4 I was thinking fade jade, and couldn't get over that.... and for #6 I just couldn't come up with anything. Pale snail was a good answer too. However, gigantic titanic doesn't quite rhyme (though it would, with a bit of poetic license!)
vlerma Jan 17, 2007	Now this was fun, very enjoyable. More please?
book_worm_77 Jan 20, 2007	Very fun! It made me think, thanks! I missed the first one, I thought it was bland strand, like a strand of pearls. Still good.

UptheHill Jan 12, 2010	Still half asleep....
patiencewithaP Jan 12, 2010	Very fun! Didn't get drab crab though.
gracieboo Jan 12, 2010	No 1 could be "No-bling string", right?
auntiesis Jan 12, 2010	Faint paint was the only one I didn't get. The rest were easy and fun.
Elios Jan 12, 2010	Very fun! I missed #s 2, 3, & 6. I was close on 3, though: I said "Glad Dad."
Babe Jan 12, 2013	Well that was fun. I missed two, but that is still good. Nice and challenging!
