TRICKY!!! it is surprising how much harder these are iwhtout the letter given like you have for many opf the other teasers like this. sooo very good. i got 3/4 of them.. Turban seems so obvious now that i see it.. very cleveer as always!
wow.. i should read my comments before i post.. lol.. nice spelling!
Ditto what bear said. For #5, I got clean/lean, but chaste/haste is much better.
I like these much better when the first letter is not the same for every word. Please keep 'em coming!
This teaser was perfect! Didn't need any hints, but I did have to think 2 seconds about 2or 3 of them, the rest coming immediately. The clues were spot on! Thank you for this teaser!!
Very good!
Missed #2...all I could think of was "bask" and "ask." Great teaser...I love these!
Excellent. Thanks for posting.
Where is everyone on this teaser? Only 8 comments. I thought it was pretty good and got all but two. Some could have had better words for clues, but fun anyhow!
Perfect combination of difficulty and fun-got enough to keep me going, and powered my brain in the time I allowed! One of my favorites-

Great teaser! got all but last 1.
Really good one. Perfect difficultly level. I like these so much better when the letter being beheaded isn't given and always the same!
