very clever!... couldnt figure it out, but i had fun trying!!!

Good teaser!
Good teaser!
It came to me right away,but I have no idea why. Just lucky today.
A little tricky but good. but a little corny.
Really good teaser. Enjoyed it a lot. Thanks for posting.
Rats!! Don't know why, but these always stump me!
omg! I finally got one of these! Usually when we are given two columns of words, I end up looking at letter combinations or something. This time, however, I remembered to think of something to "add" on. I think I gave myself an inADvertent hint!
I'm usually terrible at these but this one clicked! Woohoo!
I managed to figure this one out! Thanks! That was fun!
I never think to add on letters. It was very clever, and I like it, just too dumb to figure it out.
Great teaser
Pretty Good I tell ya LOL

good teaser! thumbs up!!!
good teaser! thumbs up!!!
I am getting good at these. I never could get them before, but have learned how, and now they are easy.
I have to "ad"mit, I missed this one.
Got it right away. I was lucky I guess. I noticed yesterday that galyewolf thinks I'm mysterious, but I'm really well known to many.
Jaycr - funny!

This teaser was clever - thanks for posting! Cutebug, are you AKA Santa Claus?
I must be slow--didn't know about the "adding on" key to these teasers. Hope I get another chance sometime!
Not bad-but I didn't really get it.
However, my sister thought this teaser was funny for some reason.

That was adstupid... your words, not mine.
Another way to justify the same answer is that all the words in the first group + mission are derived from Latin. Only logical - "ad" is a Latin-based prefix used for Latin-based words.
Not quite logical, as addiction is not derived from diction (though both are derived from Latin).
stupid and concrete also have Latin origins, just to further debunk that theory.
easy, but excellent!!
Thanks
Thanks
Missed this one. Didn't think about adding on letters, which I usually do. I think all this Christmas shopping has fried my brain! Only 2 more days and Santa's helper gets to take a break! Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays to all! Oh yeah, it was a good teaser!!
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser. I got it very quickly.
