trewq Aug 05, 2010	it made me smile! i don't think I would have gotten it without the first hint though. Once I read that, I got it

auntiesis Sep 05, 2010	Really great teaser, but I needed the second hint. Good job.
jcann Sep 05, 2010	I got it right away without the hints. When I saw the "ile" on the end of smowmobile I immediately thought, "I wonder if the word smile is in every word?" This teaser made me smile!
rlc327 Sep 05, 2010	You spelled smile in the hint wrong. You put simile.
jcann Sep 05, 2010	I think that was intentional. It says "one" of the shortest happy words. Why would you give the answer away in the hint?
juju1946 Sep 05, 2010	totally my kind of puzzle! So I got it right away. Loved it!
precious1026 Sep 05, 2010	After discovering the word "smile" I started looking for other emotional words that meant happiness. But look at what happens. Smile is in all the Answers...
