brainster May 01, 2006	Thanks locomom, I was kinda running out of precious stones with well known names!
TTESS Aug 04, 2006	Wow! fifth post! =D I'm usually 100th. That was a good one and nice facts at the end too.
starnz Aug 04, 2006	Great Job! Keep them coming!!
coachpisco Aug 04, 2006	Got the first part, but....
Badger Aug 04, 2006	Very fun! Struggled with unscrambling "pearl" for a few minutes until I looked at the title. Always a huge hint on this series. Thanks for submitting another good one.
shawneeo Aug 04, 2006	I didnt see the title, it doesnt show on my screen, and I couldn't figure out the last word, but I got all the words unscrambled, yay! I love pearls, real ones that is, of course, not cultured. heehee! Thanks for the teaser, brainster!
bradon182001 Aug 04, 2006	Me too, Shawnee. Got all the letters, just didn't get the final answer--Pearl. However, I did see the title, just didn't pay any attention to it. From now on I will pay attention to any clues that are offered.Great Tease. Fun to do.
jabdr Aug 04, 2006	Pretty easy one, but I love word teasers and always enjoy them. Thanks
maka10 Aug 04, 2006	Very fun! And challenging! Good job!
maka10 Aug 04, 2006	Opps! Sorry for the tongue sticking out! I meant
Neek Aug 04, 2006	I got the first part, but not "pearl". The titles can definitely help, if you pay attention.
RRAMMOHAN Aug 04, 2006	Simple teaser, but a lot of useful info follows the answer.That was great!
MurfQ Aug 04, 2006	Nice one! I really liked that you went the extra mile to give us that informative write up on pearls at the end.
rhmaustin Aug 04, 2006	I got "paler" because I ignored the title, and there was nothing in the instructions specifying we were looking for the name of a gem.
saleprice Aug 04, 2006	loved this one, got it in 10 secs.... love wordy ones keep `em coming......
saleprice Aug 04, 2006	ps: rmhaustin. it did state `Gemstone ` series at the top of the article.... thats your clue
iteachkids Aug 04, 2006	Yayyyyy! I GT IT! One of my birthstones is pearl, so I especially appreciate your extra information!
speedqueenkmw Aug 04, 2006	very easy but still fun
Pizzazz2u Aug 04, 2006	Very easy, for me. But, ALL of these type of teasers are fun! It is up to each individual, to decide how they will have fun with, or not, with each teaser. Anything that will get your mind working on something other than a few troubles can definitely be fun. Keep them coming.
unConfuseMe Aug 04, 2006	VERY FUN! But, pearls aren't created by "nature", they are created naturaly (by God, thee Creator...naturaly)
tonjawithaj Aug 04, 2006	Good one Brainster!
slummer Aug 04, 2006	i loved that one it was challenging and fun
locutus13ds Aug 04, 2006	Kool-- i got it, and thanks for the history lesson. Also note that "cultured pearls are almost perfectly shaped, but natural pearls can be irregular in shape. Just an extra!
phazt Aug 04, 2006	it was easy, but... the words could go on.. such as.. find 2 words with 1 set of letters then take letters 2 and 4 from one word and 1 and 4 from the other. Hey.. someone make this game. I want to play it.. or maybe i'll make it.. we'll see
Club33 Aug 04, 2006	I got pearl before finishing award!!! Then again, pearl is one of my birthstones too!! This was easy but fun!! Keep them coming!!
kman613 Aug 04, 2006	Fun, but extremely easy (words were pretty short, so too easy to figure out)
heyman Aug 04, 2006	It was pretty easy but I don't understand why 'pearl' is the 'answer' to 'play', 'award' and 'let.'
FeaerFactorY666 Aug 04, 2006	Nice!
labsmith Aug 04, 2006	I enjoyed the two-part aspect of this teaser. Fortunately, all of the words were fairly short so I got all of them. I noticed, too,after the fact, that there is no title until you go to the answer. The instructions do not mention one. Now, that I know that every teaser has a title I'll sneak a peek for that bit of help.
tdbrsun Aug 04, 2006	I like these type of teasers. Good
brainy40 Aug 05, 2006	Good one. I read it yesterday, but finally got the time to comment on it today. It was fun! Good job!
utnative Aug 05, 2006	nice teaser, i unscrambled the 3 words to get the letters, but could not get the answer. i think i'm brain dead. great teaser send more.
utnative Aug 05, 2006	forgot to thank you for info on pearls. i didn't know how cultured pearls were made.
bluehawk Aug 06, 2006	Okay, I'm not looking at the answer until I post my comment. "Brainster, what is PEARL?" Thanx for another fun Jumbler.
brainster Aug 06, 2006	Thanks for your comments people! I am glad most of you enjoyed it!
Qrystal Aug 06, 2006	Darn, I didn't read the title either, and got PALER. Good teaser though. Seemed easy enough, except that I got it wrong! unConfuseMe: isn't 'nature' the same thing as what some would call 'God'? or vice versa: isn't 'God' the same thing as what some would call 'Mother Nature'? the source of all natural things? I think saying that 'nature' created something is a friendly noncommittal nonoffensive way of leaving the details up to the beliefs of the individual reading it.
trinabean Aug 06, 2006	That was pretty confusing but still really good and it made me think!!!!
mathwhiz1224 Aug 13, 2006	that was a pretty good teaser but it was easy. It was really fun too. But Keep up the good work Bye byez
vlerma Aug 15, 2006	Yeah! I got this one. Nice job! And thanks for the interesting facts. More please?
luvdoritos706 Sep 05, 2006	nice one....i must be tired cuz i couldnt put it all together
dalfamnest Aug 04, 2009	Easy but fun. Pearl lovers should have a look at the beautiful Akaroa Pearls - www.akaroabluepearls.co.nz/ As for God and nature - to me, 'Mother Nature' is a term used that personifies the forces that control the physical world. These were created by God. Nature creates nothing; it is the creation. I know this is not a forum for religious debate - but I think we like to utilise correct terminology!

UptheHill Aug 04, 2009	NICE ONE, KEEP IT UP!!!
Babe Aug 04, 2012	I am first in 2012 again. The teaser was easy and fun also. Don't understand why the confusion to some, but then again I have been confused when everyone thought it was easy so it is good to be on this side for a while. Good one. Thanks!
