| Only got a couple of these:
TAITCHRY – a synthesis of the black art of witchery with the ancient Chinese practice of Tai Chi
KABLEEN – one of the housemates on the 40th season of MTV's "Real World (or possibly KWINDEN, a beautiful but heartbreaking film set in Tibet
SPESTET – a musical group made up of exactly seventeen or thirty-one members (I can't remember which) |

| Good clean fun! However, I was like Iamawesome on one of them, was sitting here thinking "What the heck is "Dpestle".. forgetting that I had already used "pest" but hadn't yet used "wind". Otherwise, I did pretty good!  |

| it was ok, a little too easy i think. it was playing with those blocks that you hd to fit through the right hole. |

| It was easy enough that next time you could have a few that didn't make words, make it just a little harder. But absolutely perfectly done, good job, thank you!  |

question
Feb 06, 2006
| what is wrong with telling what you feel? no one chastises the majority that always gives sugary sweet praise, no matter what. the puzzle is obviously too easy, this site is not meant for children, and some of these puzzles often seem like something off the back of a sugar smacks cereal box. It's too easy. the point of a "brain teaser" is to make you think, if you can someone's puzzles before you read to the bottom, it's too easy. The site moderators are only running these brainfart? this'll-make-you- feel-smart-kids games because you guys like them. It's ok if everyone can't get the answer, and it shouldn't be because the directions are too confusing or the subject matter is too specialized, a puzzle is a puzzle, and it should, at some level, puzzle the reader. |

| Wow...question... you're really antagonistic. Have you ever thought that some of us use this as a wake up and get your brain going kinda thing, not a herculean task?
Anyway, I thought the teaser was nice  |

| It was a fun but simple test which I enjoyed doing. Here's a suggestion: rather than actually provide the 4-letter missing words, give a synonym instead. E.g. instead of herb, give spice, itch/ scratch, able/ can, pest/ annoy, wind/ fart. Just a thought. |

| yep, still as lame as it was yesterday.....
I agree with question...there needs to be more of a challenge here, and for those who "use it to jumpstart the brain" well, come on.....use it for what you will but some of these wouldn't jumpstart my cordless mouse!!! |

There are obviously different levels of players here. Some want tougher teasers, some don't. But the ones who get most defensive seem to be the ones who like them easy. AND to the person who only got 4 out of 5- How is that even possible?  |

| Too easy, but still fun.
After reading gnosys's comment, I can't help thinking the author should have used different words, or else added instructions to search for *common* words.  |

| This teaser is admittedly very easy, but it certainly woke everyone up and got them going, judging from the number and emotionality of the comments. For my part, I like an assortment of teasers -- some days hard, some days easy. |

| Yes, it was easy, but it was still fun! I wonder if all those people in years past read our 2012 comments. Say hello! |
gaylewolf   
Feb 08, 2012
| I liked this puzzle. I think because there were just five to choose from, it made it very easy. I'd like to see one where one of the words could fit in two places and see if you get the right one so that they all fit. Thanks for a good one!  |

| Fun and easy. One suggestion I have is to add an extra word to the B section tthaat doesn't. Fit. That might make it on a bit more difficult. |

gaylewolf

| Mepapa, good idea - that is the nice, short version of what I was trying to say and Abby - good for you for admitting that. These puzzles are just for fun - so I hope you enjoyed trying to solve them! ;) |
