stephiesd Dec 30, 2005	yes, i like SWIMS better...
absent_Minded Jan 07, 2006	HAS to be 4 letters though. and read the same when its FLIPPED. like an M would equal a W. But HOOD also works. good though...
musicmaker21113 Jan 19, 2006	No, He's right.... Just upside down. Upside down and Backwards, OHIO would work... (which was my answer, actually) (Try it... write OHIO, then write it backwards (OIHO) and then turn the paper upside down... you'll see OHIO again!) Hmmm, maybe I should've submitted this as a teaser! Good teaser!
musicmaker21113 Jan 19, 2006	By the way, can't you people count? SWIMS has 5 letters, not 4!

2rubystar2 Oct 25, 2006	How is it that SPUTNIK2 has commented on like every teaser there is on this website. This person has way too much time on their hands. I will paste this comment into every comment board where I see SPUTNIK2 has commented. Why am I doing this, you ask? Because I feel like it. Deal with it.
2rubystar2 Oct 25, 2006	Very nice teaser. I got it right away, but then again, I always do, don't I? smiles cheesily No, just kidding. Good teaser.
