blondebookworm Jan 06, 2011	This is such a clever idea! This must have taken a ton of time, great job
bradon182001 Jan 06, 2011	Excellent teaser. No way would I have figured this out on my own. Thanks for posting.
bestgirl Jan 06, 2011	Sorry, I don't think this is a good teaser. It seems to me it was more an exercise in cleverness than something one could solve by thinking. Just my opinioin.
papiermeister Jan 06, 2011	Very nice. Got this one rather quickly, but fun!
patiencewithaP Jan 06, 2011	Hard but fun!

wm0912 Jan 06, 2011	Very good. Thanks for a grea tmind bender.
wordmama Jan 06, 2011	Back in the stone age, I was raised on "if you can't say something nice,....", so I can't comment on bestgirl's comment. (Will someone else read my mind and post please?) Meanwhile, the teaser was awesome; I could not figure it out even with the hint. Amazing that that shift works out for all those pairs of words!!
Nerine Jan 06, 2011	Clever, I'm glad the hint wasn't something really helpful but just a bit more to go on. Got it quite quite quickly but I like the teaser
doehead Jan 06, 2011	Okay wordmama I'll comment. I agree with bestgirl 100%.
NettieLou Jan 06, 2011	Got it right away after the hint!! Loved it!!
BeanSC Jan 06, 2011	Very nice!
Waka Jan 06, 2011	I found it thanks to the last group of words. Pretty Fun.
sunnybonghits Jan 06, 2011	I feel like I was getting close, but I gave up too easily because I was afraid it would be something stupid. In the end, though, this was very clever, very doable, and I'm only upset with myself that I stopped thinking about it. Very nice teaser!
omas Jan 07, 2011	Good puzzle! I got v close. First, I thought all r 4 letter words; second - they r in alphabetically descending order. Once, I found these 2 common traits, i didn't think further! Well I'm right too ;)
