flynn May 18, 2003	I was convinced that the answer was MIRROR (stares you in the face, in the hint section.) But even tho it didn't make any sense, my dumb mind wouldn't accept any other words. Good one.
kara Jun 18, 2003	The title and the clue gave it away!
SCapes Jul 02, 2003	I thought of ridddle 'cause of the 'staring you in the face' thing but I didn't think I would be right!! Great riddle!!

shawneeo Nov 28, 2005	Really great! I'm glad u gave the six letters clue bcoz w/o that I don't know if I'd have gotten it, but I did!!!!! The only tiny little thing I thought of was "...to conceal..." because a riddle has to both conceal AND reveal, but also I used that clue to solve it, so.... All in all, great, and the hint was great too!

srichardson1066 Nov 28, 2005	Very clever!
smek Nov 28, 2005	I thought it was SCREEN. To screen something, can mean to conceal. A screen holds lots of letters. ?? Works as well as riddle.

markmonnin Dec 05, 2005	Grrrr.....

Badger Nov 28, 2006	Fun riddle. Thanks for submitting! P.S. For those of you that didn't get Schmedley's comment, it may help you to know that it's actually a pictoral representation of his brain. Hope that helps!
locutus13ds Nov 28, 2006	I finally got one! But I needed the hint! Good One..
Blondie116 Nov 28, 2006	Loved it!
I_Write_Books Nov 28, 2006	Great teaser! I really enjoyed that one, even though I did need the hint to figure it out!...Thanks!
Pizzazz2u Nov 28, 2006	Fantastic teaser! Keep them coming! Don't mind schmedley's comment... she is only picking up where LM left off. Someone should check LM, for the positive comment
Anarock123 Nov 28, 2006	I am going madder by the minute. I put water on my friend's cornflakes,then salt and she ate it. Now I can't even get the right
Anarock123 Nov 28, 2006	answer to a riddle.
choptlivva Nov 28, 2006	cute!! Somebody pls remove Schmedley's rude post!!!
tonjawithaj Nov 28, 2006	Very clever!
PWT227 Nov 28, 2006	That was the dumbest one I have seen in a long time. Very stupid!
highway101 Nov 28, 2006	Good job snaps. Poor schmedley. Does that mean schmedleys mind is an open book? (Blank page....Blank page.)
katie4 Nov 28, 2006	how do u change ur name!!!
cincigirl4ever Nov 28, 2006	schmedley's or whoevers comment was completely uncalled for and rude. i thought this was a great site where people posted their teasers, all of which they work very hard on. however, in the last few months there has been extreme rudeness and many put downs. i wonder how that makes the creater feel? i would feel awful. that comment was a complete waste of space. if you want to express your opinion, do so. but with CONSTRUCTIVE critisism. instead of making the person feel bad and stupid. geeze, have a little respect. and, btw, i liked it.
jabdr Nov 28, 2006	Fantastic!
lmurray Nov 28, 2006	WHO'S SCHMEDLEY? GET USED TO IT, EVERYONE IS NOT GOING TO LIKE YOU OR YOUR WORK/EFFORTS. THAT'S LIFE, AND SOMETIMES IT'S TOUGH PEOPLE CALL THEM THE WAY THEY SEE THEM. WHY DELETE A PERSON'S COMMENT IF IT'S RUDE? OTHERS MAY BENEFIT FROM IT AND I FOR ONE WOULD LIKE TO SEE FOR MYSELF WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY, NOT HAVE OTHERS DECIDE WHAT IS GOOD OR BAD. THERE ARE RUDE PEOPLE EVERYWHERE. GET USED TO IT!
saleprice Nov 28, 2006	Aww, I had to use the hint, then I guessed `rhyme` not riddle, ah well I was on right track LOL Good one keep`em coming......
cuteandditzy Nov 28, 2006	This was a really great teaser. I loved it. It made me laugh. There are more positive comments on here than there are negative ones. For once I agree with Imurray. There are alot of rude people in life. I have learned alot in my life due to the negative experiences that i have been through. It has made me into the person I am today and I dont regret them.
breathesunshine Nov 28, 2006	AWWW!!! It was so easy.......once I looked at the answer!
blondebookworm Nov 28, 2006	That's Halarious! I love this teaser, even though it makes be feel like an idiot for not getting it.
i_luv_2_read Nov 28, 2006	um....i agree w/whoever said twitch way way up above....i feel pretty lame 4 not getting it but i guess riddles sigh just aren't my thing....good one snaps

scallio Nov 29, 2006	Regarding rude, vulgar or obscene comments: Constructive criticism is helpful and usually appreciated. Comments that are flat out rude, obscene or vulgar are not only not appreciated, but not helpful. There is no purpose other than to hurt. Also, rude comments are voted on by members of the site that have earned a certain level of points and are not deleted unless a majority agree that it is offensive. I don't vote to scratch annoying comments-- only those that are truly offensive.
vlerma Nov 30, 2006	IM just when I was going to give you Kudos you go and put your foot back in it. So sad for those who work so hard to make these teasers and for those who take their time to edit them and make sure there are no duplicates. Now this teaser was really quite good. Please if you don't like the teaser and you have constructive criticism speak up - otherwise if you are just going to be a smart mouth, shut up! There are too many of us who enjoy this part of Briangle to have Grinches steal it from us.
Qrystal Dec 12, 2006	Hi, I'm here to leave a comment about the TEASER, not the commenters cough .. although I can't help but notice that whatever the rude comment was, it must've been voted to be removed. How nice! Anglyways -- cute riddle. I got it before looking at the hint though I wasn't entirely certain. I'm starting to actually like riddles now! EXCEPT-- I'm not much of a fan of rhyme, it seems to obscure things most of the-- occasions.
leroyleroy Nov 28, 2009	THESE JUST GET KEEP GETTING BETTER--LIKE FINE WINE-
feste Nov 28, 2009	Those who make rude comments are poor insecure souls; and rather than play into their hands by acknowledging their lack of good manners, they should simply be ignored.
doehead Nov 28, 2009	feste-I will ignore you in the future after your rude comment!!! I choose to think everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
TallVol Nov 28, 2009	Excellent. I'm glad I went for the clue. Two for the price of one.
UptheHill Nov 28, 2009	CUTE!!!
auntiesis Nov 28, 2009	AMEN feste ! I didn't have a chance without the hint. Even with the hint I was floundering, but I was on the right track.
acornalice Nov 28, 2009	I LOVED THIS TEASER!
hubbamutt777 Nov 30, 2009	WOW! Imurray actually LIKED a teaser! but, unfortunately, that was his first comment from awhile ago. his newer one is just like his other ones. great teaser, tho! (man, Imurray's on his comment made me gasp!)
hubbamutt777 Nov 30, 2009	yup, vlerma, i was VERY proud of Imurray too, but he had to go and forget that he already posted a nice comment. i wonder what was going on in that plotter's mind. (no offense to Imurray, or anything)
HABS2933 Nov 28, 2012	Though I know he is not out here anymore and will never see this comment,it applies to everyone who is still here. I agree in part with what imurray is saying,, people are entitled to their opinion, even if it's unpopular or negative. And there are rude people everywhere and they must be dealt with on a regular basis. Of course that does not make being rude right, I also agree that there is a more appropriate (and kinder) way to criticize someone or something. On this particular riddle, I didn't care much for it.
cutebug Nov 28, 2012	What a great teaser,I missed it. More comments were about other people than the teaser. I think a person that complains about somebody elses rudeness is really the rude person!!!!!
kitty-cat Nov 28, 2012	Good teaser! I thought I had it so I didn't look at the hint...I guessed "secret." 6 letters, it conceals things... Could work!
jeRussell Nov 28, 2012	This riddle was a 'puzzle'.
jeRussell Nov 28, 2012	Or could it be a 'teaser'?
katamaster Nov 28, 2012	Not sure what the "and many more" meant.
eamon Nov 28, 2012	Maybe this was supposed to be haiku instead of a riddle. Let me have a go at one: Butterfly hiccup Oatmeal dancer Marrakesh Alabaster Hint: Think eponym Answer: Geoffrey I also didn't make any sense out of the "and many more" part.
