Nice one!
Very Good.
I'm glad you enjoyed them
I think this would be better if there was some sort of hint about what the keyword is. Other than that, this was very fun and challenging.
No that is not necessary that is the challenge in this teaser. If a hint with the keyword would be given this teaser would be a lot easier, and less fun.
I liked this teaser!

Interesting,but very easy.

Cute, and easy. I did this one without paper and pencil. Nice one.
That was easy but it was a lot of fun solvin it !
I did this WITH paper and pencil. Still, it was challenging, and woke my brain up. Just the right kind of teaser to be TotD. Good job!
No pencil/paper needed and took about a minute or so--loved it! Thanks for contributing!
I assumed president after P, R, E so for a brief moment I thought the full answer was Presidenty.
Good one, took some effort to go back and fix words to get it right.
Yeah! Pretty easy, but like others have said, It was fun!
Surprisingly easy, especially for a Jazz teaser. I kept waiting for the zinger, but got them all. Thanks for the fun.
Great job! Definitely not easy, but that's what made it fun. :-D

Difficult but very interesting and challenging teaser. Should be rated higher and have MANY more comments than shown.
Here's the "comments" report on the last 20 published teasers (as of midnight Mar 21, USA-CDT)
Thirteen (13) have received ZERO (0) comments each.
Three (03) have received ONE (01) comment each.
Three (03) have received TWO (02) comments each.
One (01) has received FIVE (05) comments.
You can savage US all you wish and the above stats will remain as facts.
Or ... (shall we say) .. "inconvenient truths" ?
And we shall continue to - periodically - list these.
Until you (probably) gripe about it so much that you'll get us ejected, again.
(but I assure you ... we will go .....)
laughing ....

Thanks for help Habs on yesterdays teaser, but I understood about the word Hint being there, I just did not understand how we were to know what to do with it. Nothing was said about finding what should be removed, or even what to find. I admire all those who understood it and knew what to do. Thank you for helping.
Todays teaser was fun both times I did it.

I found a few other words than the ones needed to solve this puzzle. But it was fun.
P.S.
There's a "secret" embedded in our "comments" metric listing above.
Can you find it?

nice puzzle; took a little thought
I got the 'y' right of the bat, then when I saw all the possible combinations, I gave up for lack of time. What (might) have helped me would be the addition of a description i.e. "Something to aspire to." Fun though!
The blanks could have made several different words other than the ones used, so you had to pick the correct one . Otherwise it was a good teaser.
Good teaser! Tbe element of ambiguity makes it more challenging, and funner.
Fun, but 2 easy.
Thanks!
Thanks!
I don't understand the point of LittleGreenMan's comments
Nice one! I thought "timer" was "times"... Oops... Haha! Can't wait for more Brain Teasers! :3
This was terrific! it was quite a challenge trying to keep all the letter combinations in your head. The details of how tis was constructed made it a much better puzzle than I would have expected had someone described the general premise. Really well done!
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser. I took a few minutes but I got all of the words and the key word. The easiest way to do this teaser is to figure out the key word first then go back and get all of the individual words.
