Not too taxing (haven't had my coffee yet!), but still fun!
Struggled with this one a little bit, but had fun doing it! Didn't get number 2. Learned a new def. for invest. Loved the format! Thanks!
MA MA HUHU (SO-SO) NOT MY KIND OF TEASER, BUT NOT BAD NONETHELESS.
This type of teaser will take a little getting used to! Enjoyed trying, though.
Difficult ...but fun.
As a rule I enjoy language teasers, but this one got the best of me. Good workout for my brain though.
Ouch! I got beaten, sorely. My only redemption was getting all of #4. The others... I kept thinking that "I know this!" but then after realizing that I was thinking that about most of them, but nothing specific was coming to mind, I just had to give up. (I hope this doesn't mean I'll have a frustrating day, today... ugh.)
Not my best effort, didn`t get them all but made me think and now my brain is sore LOL
Good one tho` thx
Good one tho` thx
Teasers shouldn't be easy! Superb work on this one! Language teasers generally take time to figure out! This one was tougher than usual! Great work
I'm with Bradon and Pizzazz ... and you got me, too. I know I should have spent more time on them, but the morning is marching on.
Thanks for the wake-up call!!!
Thanks for the wake-up call!!!
Had a hard time with most of the words, but as good.
Got # 1 and 2, but not 'gam' of # 3. #4 was quite simple, but couldnt get it at first try - had to check the answer. Too dumb of me!
I like this type of language teasers. Very creative one, this.

Got the first two, I was rolling. Then three stumped me. Never heard of gam.......

Loved it!! Great teaser...got them all ....except invest.(got invert and invent and still didn't know the word?) Good job.
Oops I completely misunderstood the directions and thought that only the first letter could change...oh well if I ever do the rest of these then I shouldn't make that mistake again.
Great job though!
