Roosevelt
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. (October 27, 1858 - January 6, 1919), also known as T.R. and to the public as Teddy, was the 26th President of the United States (1901-1909). He was the 25th Vice President before becoming President upon the assassination of President William McKinley. At age 42, he was the youngest President to date. Within the Republican Party he was a Progressive reformer who sought to bring his party's conservative ideals into the 20th century. He broke with his friend and appointed successor William Howard Taft and ran as a third-party candidate in 1912 on the Progressive Party ticket.
(Franklin Delano Roosevelt is also an acceptable answer)

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?
Got them all except # 2.

Fun teaser. I didn't get #2, but did get all the rest and was able to figure out answer.
Couldn't get MICROWAVE, but it was a good one.
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.
Thanks.
An absolute mind-starting teaser! It made mind snap into action this morning. Keep 'em coming and experiment with tougher ones
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!
Easy Peasy, got it immediately,
I love this kind of teaser. Thanks so much keep `em coming
I love this kind of teaser. Thanks so much keep `em coming
easy but good fun
that was easier than the others but it was sooo much fun!!
Good for little 'mind jogging'. Good choice, I went for FDR, but Teddy left his mark as well.
easy and fun
Nice but easy. Good to start the day with this teaser.
The V in the first word solved it;and unscrambling words is a good brain descrambler for me
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.
Nice!
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!
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?)

Imurray: Until you submit your own teaser (whick better be pretty difficult!), keep your negativity to yourself!

Duh! I thought #4 was inks -
Great self-esteem booster! , but way too easy
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.
fridge?
Great fun! A nice gentle working scrambler that was relaxing, not taxing. Thank you!
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!
i got it! awesome!
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.
DIdn't interest me as much as your others but that's ok
EZ, but good for the young ones.
GREAT QUIZ!! :
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.
Funny, how one of the only presidents I know was the answer! Lolz.
THIS WAS VERY FUN GREAT JOB!! LOL
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.
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.
That was a good exercise. Got them all fairly easy, but it took a little while to get microwave. I find I can unscramble words that are hard if I rearrange them. They then seem to just pop up. Thanks for a good one!
I have to agree with others who said once you got the ov, you knew the answer. I unscrambled the rest anyway just for fun.
Didnt find microwave, just the first second and 4th gave the answer
Easy once I noticed the theme.
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser; I got this one right away.
Outstanding! Pretty easy, but fun and creative. Works on several levels.
The unscrambling was easy. But it's somewhat annoying how Americans think that USA is a synonym for the planet earth as though the rest of the world should know everything about the U.S.
Americans, can you name politicians that countries like Australia and Canada had in the 1800s? So how is it reasonable to expect people from other countries to know the same of the U.S.?
