Very good. I missed number five and felt silly when I saw the answer!
Loved it........but missed the last one
That was fun! I missed a few and when I saw the answers I said "DUH"!! Good one!!
Yay! I got them all! The book club thing was a good one, cos I remembered it because one of Oprah's shows talked about her having a book club too!
I missed only one. The one about the Book Personality. I would have never gotten that one right in a hundred years. Thanks so much for a great teaser.

NOT MUCH OF A CHALLENGE; HOW ABOUT PICKING UP THE PACE?
back off imurry...I thought it was a great teaser
Normally I'm not much good at these, but today for some reason I got them all -- yay!
I liked this one - language puzzles are my favorite.
Thanks for a good one!
Thanks for a good one!
Ditto.
hate these kind of teasers not mutch of a challenge
good one
This one came EZ for me
I got almost all of them. I have never heard of a tuber. Learned something new today! Thanks!
fairly easy, but nice...Hey Lmurray, if these are no challenge, then why don't you create and submit some teasers that would reach your high standards??
Tuber???? what the heck is that??? Got all but Tuber???
Very, very nice!
easy but fun
A tuber is a root vegetable such as a potato. Good teaser.
I got em all right but had to look up tuber in the dictionary just to make sure. Loved the quiz, not too hard and not too easy. and I agree with you 100% Yorkshire-Boy!!
I usually try to rearrange things into non-personal words - i.e. not names. However, I did get Oprah after using the clues below and going backwards.
I got them all.
I got them all.
I thought Oprah was the easiest one of all, after that the others fell into place.
I only got nuber one because i didnt realize that the number didnt have to corrispond with the letter. (1,a-2,b-3,c). I guess I should have read the directions more carefully!
Nice job!
Nice job!
Oddrey: The directions were not very clear.
Suggestion for writing the directions on this teaser: "Find an anagram for EACH of the words in Group A. Each anagram will have a matching definition in Group B."

I wasn't a huge fan of this quiz....but apreciate the work!
I liked it and liked Peppa's earlier ones. Fun to solve
VERY easy, but way fun! More, please!
Liked it a lot. Not too hard, and not too easy. Just fun.
Got all but Oprah , I just did not think. I liked it Thx.
Cool teaser! I got 3/6 (the last three) right before I gave up... I was even thinking of driving, but could not get "drove"...
Well, I'm an impatient person and don't always have the patience to solve a riddle to its end. Keep more teasers like this coming!

I agree with Grandma B above. The instructions could have been clearer, more precise.
Instructions were clearer than my brain this morning Gave up early after only getting a couple needed more coffee! Fun!
For some reason, the answers came easily for me today. I like jumble puzzles. To each his own, I guess. Thanks for posting!
What in the world is a tuber?
Good teaser, fairly easy, but fun.
Pay as I see! (easy as pie)
But fun!
But fun!
Still no Babe. Hope she's okay. Puzzle was easy but fun
Habs. and gaylewolf I wrote a long answer to you in last night's teaser, but guess you did not read it. I am fine and do not know why I missed those you refer to. I usually do everyone unless I am extremely sick, so thank you both for being concerned and liking me. I like you both also.
I only missed one on this teaser and it was fun!

too easy
This one is a decent teaser and it's a shame that "pepamint"-'patty' was driven off the boards over 3000 days ago.

Great rebus/teaser. I'm glad to see you got it accepted by the eds. Even though "do", "dew", "due" are not pronounced EXACTLY the same, they are close enough for a punned rebus. Hope to see some more.

I (Jaye ... not Jay) think it's time those linear/literal thinkers of you who are incapable of "cluster" or "non-linear" problem-solving stop trashing some contributions to Braingle - mainly some of the Rebuses.
A Rebus (by definition and common understanding and usage) is NOT a pragmatic puzzle. They can't be solved by the usual rules.
It requires some of the "intuitive leap" to solve.
And it's NO SIN that some of you simply can't do it and, therefore, can't "see" the solution and therefore come up with ALL SORTS of things to make yourselves feel better about not dealing well with Rebuses.
Live with it, but stop *I***I* about it.
Thank you.
