| The first teaser I've ever gotten without even peeking at a hint!
Not that your teaser is abnormally easy- it's great! |

| That was a good one!
If it weren't for HY_ _ _ D,
it would have taken me a while to
figure it out!
Thanks!  |

| Good one for the under 12 crowd. Way too easy for the adults.  |

| The last one kind of gave it away, otherwise I'd probably never have guessed it. |

| I disagree with canse912, it WAS dead easy. Fun, though!  |

| I found the instructions a little unclear. I didn't know if it had to be the same three letters and in the same order. I see it did, but that was unclear to me. |

| I agree with Doehead. I've only done this for a few days. They seem pretty easy, so far. Hoping this isn't the permanent level of difficulty. |

| I agree with bestgirl. It wasn't clear to me that the three letters had to be the exact same ones, arranged in the same order, in every case. I thought the three letters might be different in each instance. (The last two words should have tipped me off, but they didn't.) |

| Very good but if you want to make it more challenging take out hybrid. There aren't too many words that start with hy, end with d, and are 6 letters long. Even within that list, there are virtually none other than hybrid that are commonly known. |
