This is an excellent teaser. Easy for some, monentarily confusing for others, especially if you don't put on your Thinking Cap.
Keep Them Coming
Keep Them Coming
pretty good teaser . i thought it was easy but i really like these kinds of teasers . great job
A little on the easy side, but enjoyable.
Fun teaser, missed ranger-anger, got the rest. Thanks for posting.
I spilled my coffee this morning all over the kitchen counter, so don't have enough caffeine in my brain to deal with this. Got half of them without thinking; the rest ... well, after all, tomorrow is another day.
Great teaser even though I couldn't think of the last one!
GREAT TESER!
Missed two, but it was a good teaser. Where is everybody tonight or day whatever it is where you are?
Thanks for a good teaser. Hi, Babe - moving in slow motion, today!
Great teaser as usual Marc.
Missed a couple, but I really enjoy these teasers.
Hi gaylewolf. I did not see your message until now. Thanks for the greeting. It is still nice and appreciated and I am still here! Oh yes, nice teaser got most, but missed a couple...again.
I enjoyed this puzzle, but would have found it more interesting if the words to be "beheaded" hadn't all started with the letter "r".
It made me think, that's something I don't do very well before coffee. Got the first 4 right away. Used the hint for the others. Solved 3 more. Had to cheat on #5 (I had no clue). Next time I'll have coffee first. Great Teaser though.
I got them all including as few with the hints; fun and entertaining teaser and very challenging.
Fantastic teaser. Challenging and fun.
Fun and entertaining teaser; I missed two this time. I did better the 1st time around when I got them all.
