Arrgghh ! I thought I was good at this kind of puzzle, but 60% is not that great.
i loved it!! Hard to understand directions though....
Godd job!!!
Godd job!!!
opps.. GOOD JOB!!
Good one! I only got the first one, but it was fun!!
I missunderstood the directions
OK....that's more like it! Got stuck on only one.
"The end of the first word is the beginning of the second"????? H is not the beginning of pin; L is not the beginning of camera. And so it goes on. What does that part of the instructions mean? I had the answers, but thought they were wrong. Bad instructions.
Although the directions were a bit confusing, I did get the answers to all but the last one. Fun teaser anyways.
Directions were confusing, but the answers were pretty easy. They need to do a better job of screening/editing these before they just put them out...
After I realized the directions were very poorly written,I figured the answers very easily.
A little confusing but a good teaser
Thanks for this. I got stumped by two of them.
The solution word make 2 phrases of 2 words each. It follows the 1st word given for one phrase, and precedes the 2nd word given for the other phrase.
Wow! Writing directions is HARD!

Good Puzzle....Thanx
i can see how some people may be confused by the misuse of "links" in the directions... i think it should have read "creates 2 common phrases with the words given, etc..."... i understood what the creator was asking me to do... and when you understand what you're supposed to be doing, it is a fun and easy teaser
This was a fun teaser... hard to rate the difficulty level though. The first 3 were extremely easy- no effort involved. The last 2 were very difficult for me and required a lot of thought... I wasn't ever able to solve the last.
Had a hard time with some of these, and some were too easy. Oh , well, I did my best.
Hi! I know you worked hard on this.
BUT The link was not an ending or
beginning of 1 WORD EACH.
The answers WERE ALL 2 WORDS!
I filled them in but thought I was
incorrect as they were not one
word answers
e.g. digital camera & camera shy
2 words each. Sorry, but instructiions were off.
Thanks anyway for the effort and keep sending them in.

Doh I thought the 4th one was
First _Rodeo_ Clown. Like, this isn't my first rodeo.
Enjoyed it.

I was totally lost. But thanks for the great effort. At least you posted. I'm not up to it yet.
Thanks again for the teaser.
Monday~

No coffee in the house...

however...good job!

I liked these better than all the other word links. I did much better this time.
I didn't even look at the directions, so I wasn't confused. I still missed two. Good puzzle, though.
i did ok but wasn't interested in really thinking hard tonight. i like this type of teaser. this was well done.
Absolutely terrible instructions! Trying to figure that out was impossible!
The directions for this teaser (for 2/1/12 were absolutely WRONG. The end of the first word (push) is H, but the answer begins with P. Nothing makes any sense with the directions given.
After I ignored the instructions,the answers came easily. Not that hard to figure out what was wanted.
I ignored the directions. First two were very easy. I had a different answer for 3. I got city which also works for this. Did not get the last two. Good teaser, bad directions.
The directions may have been confusing, but many of the comments were overly critical.
Three of these were easy and two were more difficult. But still a good teaser! I like these. Thanks!

I read the directions and understood them right away! (Does that mean I'm confused?) I quickly got the 1st two and thought "How smart I am" - but gave up on the rest, so I guess I am confused and not so smart! Still, I think it was a great teaser and enjoyed it very much! Thanks for posting.
Stumped on pushpin (never heard of it), so I looked it up (cheating). Also had city for #3.
In 2012 I said the instructions were terrible, but not knowing I did this one before I tried it tonight and found the instruction very understandable. The teaser was good, but I only could figure out a couple of them It is too late for the old brain to work well. I truly enjoyed it though.
While the directions were slightly flawed, the intent of the teaser was obvious (at least to me). I got the first two straightaway and the third after a few seconds thought. I did not however come up with bed-rock-candy. Have not seen rock candy in years!
Not bad. I got them, but had to think a bit.
