Nice teaser
Cute! A sweet teaser to start the day, and very apropos too!
Really good! I liked it!
Nice teaser
Another super teaser, Jazz. How do you come up with them? Great job.
Nice one! I didn't know one of the words, but was able to guess from the bonus word what it was.
Pretty esoteric... didn't really like it...
Really Good Teaser Jazz
I got close but not close enough.
I had the Distio and maybe y at
the end.
You're too good for me
Another cuppa and I might have
solved it.
More please Teasers not Tea.

Another classic!
Well, you got me... I hadn't heard of 3 of the words (drachm, pintle and paten?) and I was trying to use punt or pant instead of pint.
I can't believe some of you knew those words. Wow. I'll get the next one anyway!

Once I got the first three letters, I got the keyword! If it weren't for that, I don't think I would've gotten any other words. Great teaser!
It must be words familiar to an Aussie. I didn't know a few of them myself. I should have gone to my Aussie translator but I figured that would be cheating. It was a very nice teaser though. I new some of them anyway. Don't stop posting, keep them coming.

Sorry just not my kind.
Yea!! Finally I did it Jazz Didn't get 3, 7 or 9 but was able to fill it in www7 must be my lucky one
Awesome teaser! I finally gave up trying to get it. I never would have gotten drachm, pintle or paten. And some how I ended up with "ill" on the end so I was way off. It was fun trying though!
Very good teaser, I wasn't familiar with some of the words, but I worked it backwards. I really enjoyed it.
Thanks guys. I'm glad you liked it. Sorry about the difficult words...NOT!
I can't make it that easy for you all. hahaha

What a beauty!
Thank you jazzmusician. Very good teaser.
My pleasure
great teaser, jazz... i got the first 5 and the last one and figured out the keyword, which made the 4 i didn't know fall into place... and i thought i was an expert with vocabulary, grammar, and spelling ... looks like i'm going to have to read the dictionary again
excuse me... i didn't get the first 5, igot 1,2,4,5, and 6, which with the last one, gave me enough to figure out the keyword... sorry for the misinfo
