dsquared Jul 21, 2002	Good one. I'm not normally so 'into' word games, but for some reason I liked this. I called it easy, probably only because I struck it lucky and got it quickly, once I realised what the first letter of the first word was most likely to be.
zangel3000 Jul 29, 2002	I was close on the first word. But I don't really care 2 try 2 solve these kind so i just went on and clicked on the answer. Well done!
bmotts Jul 31, 2002	Sorry, I'm not a fan.. Nice work though
bmotts Aug 15, 2002	Still, if there's one bad WEE teaser, I haven't heard it!!
peterbradfor Aug 15, 2002	Too easy. The last word need not be EWE, by the way. It could be WEE.

shawnbse Jul 10, 2007	took me a minute to solve it. fairly easy teaser.
GrandmaB Jul 10, 2007	Solving the second word first seemed to be the best attack. But with that, I came up with "victor" which soon proved to be a no-go with the first word....Going back to the second word I tried "viewer" and then they all fell in place. I like this kind of puzzle...thanks Bobbrt
