Aha! A bit trickier than the others--I had 'nasty' as the third word, so I didn't get the answer. Good one.
I had 'nasty' too... oops.
I had nasty as well. I didn't even know 'antsy' was a word.....
I got antsy as I am antsy, as are all my grandkids. Love these teasers, Brainster. I think Word Jumbles have become my favorite teasers.
Hydra is my second favorite mythological creature (My favorite is Medusa). Great job!
I FOUND THIS puzzle easy due to my wheel of fortune experience. I even got hydra even if I thought antsy was nasty. Thanks for the good puzzle 💯
