| That was fun!
I didn't get "ex" either. I got "cue" and "me" and just put "res" in front for rescue me. I didn't notice the "s" in the clue. I didn't know what THAT meant, but at least I got a word out of it. I got everything else, though. Please give us some more! Thanks! |

| Yes, that was really easy, but also really fun. I thought of past for former, but when I got cues and me, I thought of ex. Good job. Thanks |

| The answer on the last one made more sense your way; I was stuck on "Was cues me" didn't make a whole lotta sense. |

| Good teaser. Got them all except the Be Mine took me a bit, but I misread it as a SPINNING insect instead of STINGING so I couldn't figure it out. Once I realised what it really said, it was easy |
