bigSWAFF_69_ Aug 08, 2006	Great, Teaser of the Day . It is at 3.06 fun rating right now, and 2.02 difficulty. Lets just play the typical game that I have to: How low can it go down to?
bluehawk Aug 08, 2006	Got them all except # 2. With the remaining letters I was able to figure out Pres. Roosevelt,FDR,that is. Thanx for the Scrambler it was fun.
starnz Aug 08, 2006	Great Job!
lmurray Aug 08, 2006	TAI RUNGYI (TOO EASY)
Badger Aug 08, 2006	As always, very fun! SWAFF: I held your score up on the fun rating... Dropped you a little bit on difficulty. Thanks for submitting. PS: TR is my favorite! We need an emoticon that has a big mustache!
utnative Aug 08, 2006	great teaser and it was easy, "but" i did have trouble with the third one but i got the pres. right. thanks for doing one that i could do. more scramblers please.
utnative Aug 08, 2006	hi Imurray, i do not want to be rude, but you always complain about the teasers being too easy. why don't you submit some teasers to really challenge all of us? hope i wasn't rude , if so i'm sorry
bradon182001 Aug 08, 2006	Fun teaser. I didn't get #2, but did get all the rest and was able to figure out answer.
coachpisco Aug 08, 2006	Couldn't get MICROWAVE, but it was a good one.
carouselsb3 Aug 08, 2006	Good Scrambler - but I would have thought that the words that you initially had to unscramble (although linked) would have had something to do with the President??? Thanks.
Pizzazz2u Aug 08, 2006	An absolute mind-starting teaser! It made mind snap into action this morning. Keep 'em coming and experiment with tougher ones
jessmr Aug 08, 2006	pretty good one, easy but fun. had a little trouble with #2, (thought macroview??, lol) and then i realized they were all things in a kitchen!!! LOL. great job!
saleprice Aug 08, 2006	Easy Peasy, got it immediately, I love this kind of teaser. Thanks so much keep `em coming
speedqueenkmw Aug 08, 2006	easy but good fun
doka13 Aug 08, 2006	that was easier than the others but it was sooo much fun!!
OldChinaHand Aug 08, 2006	Good for little 'mind jogging'. Good choice, I went for FDR, but Teddy left his mark as well.
kman613 Aug 08, 2006	easy and fun
RRAMMOHAN Aug 08, 2006	Nice but easy. Good to start the day with this teaser.
feste Aug 08, 2006	The V in the first word solved it;and unscrambling words is a good brain descrambler for me
Qrystal Aug 08, 2006	I got halfway there (all the kitchen scrambles, and microwave was a good one!) but then gave up before trying too hard with the president... just didn't ever learn them, being Canadian and all, and so I figured I'd look up a list and save myself the brain power. I probably could've gotten it if I kept at it, since I have heard of the guy, but once I got the letters to say "LOSTROVER" I couldn't keep a straight face anymore.
FeaerFactorY666 Aug 08, 2006	Nice!
brainy40 Aug 08, 2006	Good one! Some of them were easier than others, so I had fun with this one. I like these kinds of teasers!! Keep them coming!
unConfuseMe Aug 08, 2006	I thought microwave was cromaview, whatever that is, but i figured out the answer w/ the other letters! so, YAY me! (what is the weird language that Imurry person always types?)
phazt Aug 08, 2006	still too easy!
Wingsfan Aug 08, 2006	I liked this. I thought it was fun!
tdbrsun Aug 08, 2006	I did get this . Thanks for the info on Teddy. Not hard but not too easy either . I liked it.

c_rae Aug 08, 2006	Fun and easy; just what I needed today! Imurray: Until you submit your own teaser (whick better be pretty difficult!), keep your negativity to yourself!
hancar Aug 08, 2006	Duh! I thought #4 was inks -
dutchdude Aug 08, 2006	Great self-esteem booster! , but way too easy
jabdr Aug 08, 2006	So it was easy...doesn't mean it's still not fun to figure it out...Anyone who takes the time and effort and skill to submit a teaser gets my thanks and appreciation.
annie9698 Aug 08, 2006	fridge?
logos Aug 08, 2006	Great fun! A nice gentle working scrambler that was relaxing, not taxing. Thank you!
labsmith Aug 09, 2006	I thought it was hard. I worked the anagrams and president together, anagrams being difficult for me ( I didn't even see oven for a while). The length of the name cut out many presidents and I got it from that and what was missing in the anagram letters. That gave me clues to guess the other anagrams but not microwave. All in all challenging but not frustrating. Just right. A good teaser!
temisho Aug 13, 2006	i got it! awesome!
vlerma Aug 15, 2006	Starting with ov oe re I almost thought we had Hoover, but couldn't find an H. Great fun and yes I did get them all. Even microwave. More please.
J_Cat Oct 04, 2006	DIdn't interest me as much as your others but that's ok
doehead Aug 08, 2009	EZ, but good for the young ones.
sheila1 Aug 08, 2009	GREAT QUIZ!! :
auntiesis Aug 08, 2009	The ov in oven gave me the answer so I didn't bother to figure out the other words. I should have done them anyway, but I don't think I would have gotten microwave.
candygirl1515 Aug 08, 2009	Funny, how one of the only presidents I know was the answer! Lolz.
Commodity Aug 08, 2009	THIS WAS VERY FUN GREAT JOB!! LOL
UptheHill Aug 08, 2009
HABS2933 Aug 08, 2012	i also had it figured out once I had the OV. Not being American, I couldn't name every president but could not think of any others with a V in his name.
here2 Aug 08, 2012	I was about to give up when I recognized the theme of the scrambled words. That was a very nice touch. Thank you! I enjoyed this one very much.
