Brilliant teaser, I couldn't figure out the second to last one
Fun, but kinda easy, even without the hints
thanks again e-marc
I found the E words were easier than the C words.
But they were both still fun to solve!
But they were both still fun to solve!
Although it was on the easy side. I'm elated that it was not an old repeat.
Thank you all for your comments!
There are several others in this series so far (Behead A - H), but also a Curtail series where the last letter is removed - those are a bit harder.

I loved this one even though it was fairly easy. I missed #6, but got all the rest. Thanks
I got them all easily; you can tell by my handle that this is my thing. Much, much fun!!
Gotta love these riddles. No matter what the difficulty, they're fun no matter what. Thanks Again!
E-OK
It was a nice fun one to work out and not too hard. I enjoyed it. I also enjoy Garfield cutebug which is not a child's cartoon. It is in the comic's page in the newspaper for adults..but even so, why would it be a waste? Anything you enjoy is not a waste. Some of us are in our second childhood anyway. It is a waste to be so critical.
Easy and enjoyable Sorry BABE,but I wholeheartedly disagree with you.
Another great teaser Marc.
easy but i really liked it, thx.
Just the right amount to get my neurons firing!
I usually don't like these kinds of teasers, but I saw that it was teaser of the day, and decided to give it a try. I loved it! And I got it all right too!
Great fun. Love word games.
Fun. but I admit I had to use the hints for the last 2.
nicely done
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser; I got them all fairly quickly.
5/8 So much fun!
Fun and entertaining teaser; I got them all very quickly again on my second try.
