tonjawithaj Mar 02, 2007	heehee. love it!
Jimbo Jun 04, 2007	That works so well at different levels. Very creative and funny in a cute sort of way.
Madelulabelle Apr 17, 2008	Nice one! I think a more rebus-y way of doing it would be to have a '________' before each thing (e.g. ________ fairy)....but it is very good as is.
bradon182001 Apr 17, 2008	Not sure what I think about this one. I didn't get it, not even close. After reading the answer it is simple enough, but for some reason I feel something was missing that would make this a very very good rebus. Anyone agree? or is it just me.
phyllisa Apr 17, 2008	I thought it was a great teaser, I got it right away!!!!
SSVillalobos Apr 17, 2008	Very cute!
wordmama Apr 17, 2008	The hint didn't help. Rebuses are hard enough for me, but usually the positioning of the words is significant, but in this case it's mis-leading. Is this really a rebus?
doehead Apr 17, 2008	Agree with Brandon.Didn't think it made sense.
auntiesis Apr 17, 2008	I too feel that something was missing. I had no idea where to go with this one. The answer made perfect sense, but I wouldn't have gotten it in a million years.
lizzard Apr 17, 2008	I love this one!!!
masquerademe235 Apr 17, 2008	made me laugh very cute
glowtmickey Apr 17, 2008	Doy! I'm such an idiot. Good teaser
Superwolf26 Apr 17, 2008	Wolves are NOT bad, they are territorial. Big, bad wolves is a stupid stereotype by the Grimm Brothers. Too hard for me, too.
SweetPotato Apr 17, 2008	The solution alludes to common adjectives used in children's stories with these characters: the GOOD Fairy, the Big BAD Wolf, and the UGLY Duckling.
ygtbjkn Apr 17, 2008	How could you not understand this one???? It was excellent!!
Meganan Apr 18, 2008	Fun teaser
Fasil Apr 21, 2008	I'm not sure if I would call this a rebus, but it was funny. Thanks for making me smile.
abrain Apr 21, 2008	Fairy Wolf, Duck, & the lost (me)
Babe Apr 17, 2011	Everyone is easy to please in these puzzles except for a few. That was back in 2008. In 2011 I find it rather easy to say I did not like it. Maybe if the author had said the phrase is this conjured up from a few fairy tales it might have been more interesting to try and figure out. Just my thinking.
river37 Apr 17, 2011	I agree with the above comment. Anyone who has ever read a tale about the "fae" will tell you Fae are anything but good. Wolves are "like" hunters. I did think the "ugly" duckling was funny, but the hint should have mentioned children's stories or mother goose or something
GreenApples27 Apr 17, 2011	When I read the hint, I immediately thought ducklings were cute (I'm an animal lover) so I got thrown off right away! But good teaser.
eamon Apr 17, 2011	Foul!!! Even the Hint served to make this one worse. As said above, ducklings are downy, cute, fuzzy etc, NOT ugly. The eponymous Ugly Duckling was in fact a cygnet who was mocked for looking different than his adopted siblings. To build a Rebus around DUCKLINGS as a guide to the word ugly is like using the word Bailey to indicate Pearl because there was an entertainer by the name Pearl Bailey. Come on... Wolves, similarly, should NOT be maligned as being generic for BAD. This is an unhelpful stereotype and, in the context of a rebus, the connection would require a whole lot of context to make any sense. Fairy = Good is about as true as Fairy = Evil also, by the way. A good Rebus should not rely on a personal or highly context-driven connection within the words. Like all word play, they should mean the same thing to anybody familiar with the common language. Sorry. Back to the drawing board with this one.
HABS2933 Apr 17, 2011	Well, even though I got it, I have to agree with the above posters regarding the clue. \only those familiar with the stories would be able to understand it. Other than that good teaser.
MajorAlan Apr 18, 2011	Fairy=djinn=evil. Wolf=hunter+family. Wolves are very protective of their offspring, and will work very hard to feed their young and teach them to live without the parents. These qualities equal good for me. Ducklings, as mentioned, are cute and fuzzy. Therefore the only correct answer is the evil, the good and the cute. Makes no sense otherwise. The author of this one used too biased a base to come to the answer.
opalrose25 Sep 02, 2011	Hee hee so cute i loved it
