zonarita Apr 10, 2006	Nice one
signmeup74 Apr 13, 2006	I love these ones, where you make words out of other words. I never get 'em, but they sure are fun to try!! Keep up the good work.
bradon182001 Apr 14, 2006	Really good teaser. Made me think. A LOT.
lmurray May 11, 2006	this was not fun.

scallio May 11, 2006	Ooooh... too tough! I couldn't get all of them. Great job putting this one together! It's obvious you had to put a lot of time into this one.
coachpisco May 11, 2006	Way too difficult for me.
Pablo May 11, 2006	Difficult but good. Got three out of five
cvISS May 11, 2006	The directions were a bit confusing. I kept trying not to mix the words within each group. Once I looked at the answer for the first one it made a bit more sense.
lyndalee830 May 11, 2006	too hard for me....
shawneeo May 11, 2006	Oh GOOD! I'm not the only one! This was way too hard, for me anyway. If there were at least clues to what words to find, it would be more fun. But with no clue, it could be any famous person with those letters in their name, and without even knowing the first letter, IKES! There's too many possibilities. Like the person above, I respect very much how much work and effort went into making this teaser. Maybe just a little hint would let more people enjoy the products of so much effort ? Thanks!
locomom May 11, 2006	Whoa!!! Too tough for me. I like anagrams but these were over my head.
iteachkids May 11, 2006	UCH, my brain!!! I should have done like cvISS - peeked at the first one and then tried the others. For some reason, I thought if the clue was two words, the answer would be two words, and so forth. You worked hard on this, Medster... or you're a genius!!!
Amali May 11, 2006	Very hard didnt get it at all . But that means you did a good job doesnt it, keep up the good work nice one.
alis99 May 11, 2006	Cool teaser

banzai May 11, 2006	these frustrate me and r not my favorite. thank u for ur effort, though!
wildsiren82 May 11, 2006	Good idea, but a little too hard. I don't think many people would have gotten those.
loony300 May 11, 2006	very smart but it was challenging. Good Work!
randomchick07 May 11, 2006	I GIVE IT 3.5 STARS (OUT OF 5)
nightowl19 May 11, 2006	Hard, but fun.
dabombz May 11, 2006	I can never figure out these. lol
GebbieRose May 11, 2006	Challenging. I liked it!
wizofaus May 11, 2006	If the anagrams were the only thing you had to go on, sure it would be tough - but given the structure of the teaser and clues like "xxx painted yyy", it really wasn't all that hard. I noticed this teaser also appeared on gophercentral.com, not sure which one came from where...
ponygirl May 11, 2006	AWESOME!!!!!!!
mcbidjcd May 11, 2006	this one was no fun

vlerma May 11, 2006	Excellent. Had to work pretty hard to get this one, but have been doing this type of puzzle for many years. Used to think that my fifth grade teacher invented them. More please.
