| Good puzzle - a real thinker! I ended up getting them all, but after a lot of time and rearranging!
It was definitely by trial and error! Thanks!  |

| Great teaser. Took me a while to get started, but once I had a few the rest just fell into place. I just had to hope that 'antitrust' was a word when left with ant, it & rust at the end! |

Thanks! |

| That was awesome. I only figured it out by putting it into a grid format in a spreadsheet program. I really enjoyed it, super job! |

| Good One Jazz. I got all but two by just looking at the possibilities, but couldn't get Matador and Noonday without writing it all down and crossing out all the used letters to see what was left. You're batting a 1000 and I'm batting about 600. B But closing in....  |

| Nice one! I was lucky to not go down the wrong path with something like permeate. That there are other possibilities is what makes it challenging. Thanks! |

| I missed only matador; I'd done all the others in my head and didn't write anything to cross out and see what was left!! Gave me a headache, but it was fun!! |
