Language brain teasers are those that involve the English language. You need to think about and manipulate words and letters.Language
In this teaser, I have given you 4 words. Beside each word is a series of letter groupings. Your task is to find the answer to the word on the left by choosing one letter from each of the letter groups to the right of each clue.

Really interesting teaser! Took me a while to getthe rhythm of workingwith the strange letters, but I eventually got them all!
excellent
I though you had mispelled soull
good teaser... really enjoyed this one!
great teaser! i was too lazy too figure all them out, tho, i got the last two
Fun teaser - i missed theater but got all the rest
thanks!
thanks!
Great
Excellent.Great job by Jazz as usual!!!
Very well done. Please do another one.
Building -> Theatre??? I got it only because it was the only word I could make, but not a very good match, really. Good effort, though. Thanks.
another great teaser jazz... keep 'em coming... i especially liked this one
Who would have thought elementary school music class would come in handy all these years later?
I don't get how the title fits with the teaser.
I liked this teaser. It was easy thoguh.
I agree with kwelchans. What's the significance of the title?
I think this was really hard and the clues were not the best ones for the answers, so not one of my favorites. Sorry Jazz. As a rule I think you post the greatest teasers but not this time. My opinion only.
I liked this teaser too, nice job!!
I missed timpani. The rest were right on. Thanks for the teaser. I really enjoyed it.

My pleasure! I'm glad you enjoyed having a go at it.
I liked it. I missed timpani (i have never heard of one before) but the rest were coo.
Definitely liked this teaser. Keep 'em coming
How many people know what Timpani is??? Also theater for building??
Sorry, jazz musician 46, but this one was kinda weak, because although "picture and "image" are pretty much synonymous, as are kettledrum(s)" and "timpani" ("timpani" means a set of kettledrums; formally, the singular, rarely used, is "timpano"), "theatre" is by no means synonymous with "building," nor is "music" synonymous with "sound."
Good teaser, but I'm with kwelchans on the title issue. I'm guessing "Who Is This?" #1 and/or #2 had people's names instead of non-human nouns, for the answers?
I agree with Bradon's comment that Jazz usually has great teasers but that this was not one of them.
Aside from the title issue I also have issue with some of the clues.
No problem with the Kettledrum: TIMPANI clue (as long as you are familiar with the word).
I am among those who disagree with theatre:building and music:sound.
Not Jazz's best teaser

NIce one...may have stumped a few Americans; we spell theatre 'theater'
I thought this was a great puzzle. I didn't get theatre but I was thinking more along the lines of skyscraper. More of these, please.
Got them all, I thought it was easier than the rating though.
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser; I got them all very quickly.
Easier than I expected it to be. I like this format. It seems these would be very easy to construct, so there could be an infinite supply if needed.
That was a piece of cake!
Maybe add a degree of difficulty next time, thanks?
