avonma Mar 12, 2007	I didn't try very hard to get it. I gave up early; but I like it - it was a good one. I THINK I could have got it if I stayed with it. Thanks!
zaya Mar 12, 2007	How was that hint helpful?
bkinney Mar 12, 2007	Zaya, the hint was helpful because west, east, south, and north are all directions. The hint is to look at the directions again. Good one
frozenrose_885 Mar 12, 2007	I thought it was because they all had a t somewhere in them
lukeschett Mar 12, 2007	Great teaser. I got it.
saleprice Mar 12, 2007	Yay I got it straight away, just what I like, an easy peasy for a monday!! Woohoo.....
lindquist_25 Mar 12, 2007	...they all have T's in them.

saradove Mar 12, 2007	Veru interesting and very clever Thank you very much for this awesome teaser!!!
OhEmGee Mar 12, 2007	lol i was thinking that the thing they had in common was that they were uppercase!!! haha it says that right in the directions so i took the hint the wrong way!!! i feel dumb! message me please!!!
speedqueenkmw Mar 12, 2007	duh, i didn't get it but had fun trying
sftball_rocks13 Mar 12, 2007	This was really cute I laughed at myself when I saw the answer, didn't get the hint though
jamy400 Mar 12, 2007	very clever
phyllisa Mar 12, 2007	Good one, I got it right away
hersheyugget Mar 12, 2007	umm how about they are all nouns? isn't htat like the easiest answer?
breathesunshine Mar 12, 2007	I was thinking like OhEmGee, and figured it was something obvious. Oh well I had fun trying!
LeafFan4life Mar 12, 2007	also they all have the letter T so that couldtechnically be the answer also.
fedex337 Mar 12, 2007	oops i read the directions again... i said that since it said what do the capitalized words have in common that it was that they were all capitalized...
GobyDude Mar 12, 2007	I was gonna say, if the answer was 'they're all capitalized' that would be really stupid.
soccermip337 Mar 12, 2007	That was a really good teaser. I loved it. It was fun but challenging at the same time!
Quizme Mar 12, 2007	cool
jcann Mar 12, 2007	This was a fun teaser. I was in a hurry this morning and didn't take the time to figure it out. But after knowing the answer and reading the hint I thought the hint was really clever! Good job!
deadsnakebiting Mar 12, 2007	Fun teaser! After looking it over, I picked an alternate answer... all answers have the letter T in them.
Qrystal Mar 13, 2007	AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! That was awesome!!!! I don't usually get these, and I was on the verge of being stumped, but then I looked again... and thought some more .... "Maybe they're anagrams of something," I thought. Yessssss~!!! I LOVED THE HINT!!! That's what really cracked me up! DIRECTIONS!! HAH!!!! Very good teaser!
vlerma Mar 14, 2007	Thanks for the hint. That made it very easy, but without it I was going in the wrong darned direction.
i_luv_2_read Mar 25, 2007	if anyone has read the Redwall series, this was ridiculously easy... this sort of puzzle was in one of them .... however, if i hadn't read those books, i probably wouldn't have has a clue....good job
doehead Apr 11, 2010	Good one. Took me awhile to get the wrong answer. Oh well,there's always tomorrow.
Marple Apr 11, 2010	Excellent! Loved it!
patiencewithaP Apr 11, 2010	Good one!
TallTimber Apr 11, 2010	Figured it out without the hint. Good teaser. Enjoyed it.
sashomarine Apr 11, 2010	id that they all had t's in them,
Babe Apr 11, 2013	It was not my thing, but glad it made some happy! Thanks for posting.
tripleteam5 Apr 11, 2013	EThey are also all upper case.. simple..like me LOl
HABS2933 Apr 11, 2013	The only thing I could come up with was they all had a T in them, but knew it would not be that easy. I read the hint and did what I thought it wanted me to -reread the directions, then thought "yeah, okay how does that help?" Had to chuckle when I realised that directions did not mean instructions as I had thought but was virtually giving the answer! Good one Marc.
jaycr Apr 11, 2013	I found my way through this one.
NVL9758 Apr 11, 2013	That was a good one!!
cutebug Apr 11, 2013	Saw this before and still missed it.
glowingredbob Apr 11, 2013	The hint made it harder for me to solve.
gaylewolf Apr 11, 2013	I didn't get it correctly, but I LOVED it! Thanks for a good one!
thecatladycac Apr 11, 2013	I started by looking for words within a word: wet, or eat, or horn - then I checked for anagrams - and voila!! I didn't look at the clue until after I had read some of the comments - the clue was great! Loved the teaser!
