One+One=One
Language brain teasers are those that involve the English language. You need to think about and manipulate words and letters.
Add together each of the defined words to get a whole new word.
Example: to shout + what you say when you feel pain = a color = yellow.
1) A light brown color + to leave = a dance.
2) A store's announcement + a type of women's clothing = a building's location.
3) A vehicle + an animal pal = a floor covering.
4) The ocean + a father's boy = part of the year.
5) Another name for dad + a yellow veggie = a white fluffy snack.
Answer
1) tan + go = tango.
2) ad + dress = address.
3) car + pet = carpet.
4) sea + son = season.
5) pop + corn = popcorn.

| Very good, I got em all cept number two, the address one, I just didn't think of "ad" as an "announcement", I kept thinking "open, closed, grand opening, sale!, going out of business, etc." Oh well, I guess it is an announcement, technically. I like these, and if you wanna do more and make them harder and twice as many, I'll like them too! Thanks! |

| dohhhh---
I guess I'm the first to admit I didn't get them all. I got stumped on #2. All I was sure of was that it wasn't "adbra".
Maybe I should head back over to the Logic section where I feel more at home! |

| I like this type of teaser, got them all, which is probably why I like this type of teaser! Got say though I would never describe popcorn as 'fluffy' |

| Good fun. I didn't get Address either. I was working on Blue Light Special. |

| I'm with just about everyone else, couldn't get #2, I got ad ok, but dress just didn't come to me. Good teaser tho. I'd like to see more of these.  |

| I really liked this one! Just like a lot of others I got all but # 2, but it made perfect sense when I saw the answer.
I'd like to see more like this one |

| A reasonably great, but too easy puzzle for this character I have to admit, the second one made me think Make some a little tougher, and possibly add a hint for others! |

Very easy. "Ad" was a bit of a stretch and there are so many types of women's clothing but "dress" was an obvious place to start. More please. |

These were fun! I like teasers that make me think but are still easy enough to figure out--and I don't have hours to spend on them, so the sooner the better.

| Yep, #2 was a groaner. Made me feel stupid when I read the answer - so simple it was hard. Nice job. More please! |

| I had fun doing this one. I wonder what it is about #2 that had a few of us stumped?! I got "ad," but I could not think of "dress." It makes sense though...duh!  |

| Easy, but fun! I wonder if you could have used the answers on each line as the hint? Maybe too hard then? Thanks for submitting! |
