| It's easy to do these things for me because really the human mind sees the word as a whole, so no mtater hwo i selpl it, yuo wlil unrestandd me. |

| VERY COOL teaser! Loved it! I got ALMOST all of it right. Could'nt get "Passion" in the first one and I got "being" instead of "begin" in the last (no wonder it didn't make sense to me...). 
Keep more teasers like this one coming! I really enjoyed doing this one!
btw, GABALLA06, being able to understand what a word is saying, even if it is misspelled, works as long as all the letters of a word are present and the first and last letters are in the correct place. (Obviously, we can also get some other jumbled words that do not fit these rules...but this comes from a magazine article I read.) |
