shibbyguy Jan 05, 2003	You had me stumped!
alintanfern Jan 06, 2003	gr8 1 with rhyming answers
Mogmatt16 Aug 22, 2004	that's odd... this one is kinda good...
ThreeTwoOne Aug 22, 2004	I like your answer for the second sentence better than mine: matter/master. This teaser wasn't too difficult, but it exercised the brain just enough to be fun. Overall, a very clever contribution.
marigold Feb 21, 2005	wetter with a letter? Does that work or just sound weird?
Smudge Jun 14, 2006	The second one couldn't be matter/master as ThreeTwoOne said, because those do not differ by their first letter. Good try, though. I got the first 2, but the third was a very nice play of words. I give it a thumbs up
Rach_ Nov 29, 2006	Cute and fun
marschie Nov 29, 2006	Excellent teaser! [Why are all the comments labeled "offensive?"]
lukeschett Nov 29, 2006	Great teaser. P.S. They are not offensive. You click on that if someone says something that is offensive to you.
karenokupniak Nov 29, 2006	Can we "wonder" over "yonder" as well? This one was a lot of fun.
senthur22 Nov 29, 2006	beautiful thought
schmedley9 Nov 29, 2006	it was okay
bradon182001 Nov 29, 2006	I guess its too early for me. Didn't get any unless you count "hope for a dope" for #1. That was my first thought and that is was I kept thinking.
bradon182001 Nov 29, 2006	Oops, I meant #2, not 1.
OldChinaHand Nov 29, 2006	A very well done teaser.
cassiemark Nov 29, 2006	I liked that one a lot!
lmurray Nov 29, 2006	Hmmmmm.........
Pizzazz2u Nov 29, 2006	Good teaser! Made the first one tougher on myself than it turned out to be. Keep them coming!
nikitafullmoon Nov 29, 2006	One of those teasers that makes me go "D'OH!" Apparently I need to START Thinking Over Here! Great teaser!
scallio Nov 29, 2006

bradon182001 Nov 29, 2006	My, My, My. I hope Jenelle 74 feels better now.
cuteandditzy Nov 29, 2006	Nice play of words. Really liked it.
Blondie116 Nov 29, 2006	Loved it!
breathesunshine Nov 29, 2006	Had a brain cramp on this one but it was fun anyway!
Qrystal Nov 30, 2006	That made me giggle!! What an awesome way to start the day. Thanks!!
Qrystal Nov 30, 2006	P.S. I wish I had "offensive" links available... zap certain people who deliberately give offense (i.e. by insulting). That's so different than giving one's opinion of a teaser.
vlerma Nov 30, 2006	I pushed that's offensive for you Crystal as I agree some people just don't know when to be quiet. Personally I thought it was a great teaser. More please
vlerma Nov 30, 2006	Excuse me Qrystal
doehead Nov 29, 2009	Way to many possible answers. So I have to rate this as a very por teaser!!!
doehead Nov 29, 2009	I should learn how to spell poor.
UptheHill Nov 29, 2009	Nice1, Keep them coming!!!!
pbwc17 Nov 29, 2009	those were fun...didnt get any but it was still great
brucemcdon Nov 29, 2009	Doehead, what are some of the "way to many" possible answers?
auntiesis Nov 29, 2009	I only got the first one.
gaylewolf Nov 29, 2009	I didn't get any of them but I thought they were terrific! and funny!! thanks!
Barticus Dec 01, 2009	I couldn't get any but they are all good. Doehead, can you give an example of another answer?
Johnny Dec 01, 2009	The brainteaser wasn't the best It was sort of clever
Babe Nov 29, 2012	It would have ben nice had you explained the words were to rhyme. I found it to be lacking in expalations Sorry
spikethru4 Nov 29, 2012	Babe, the answers don't have to rhyme (these ones do, as it happens, but it's not necessary). They have to be spelt the same, but with a different first letter. The instructions are quite clear; maybe you didn't read them properly.
MonkeyMike Nov 29, 2012	3 years late, but in response to Barticus. Fear and Bear for the 2nd maybe?
cutebug Nov 29, 2012	Not my type of teaser Monkey,if you count the spaces your 4 letter answer doesn't fill 6 spaces.
jeRussell Nov 29, 2012	For number 1 how about go 'hither' over 'dither'?
HABS2933 Nov 29, 2012	I agree with doehead - there are a lot of possible answers for some of them. "Fear for a bear" was good, but "hope for a dope" made me laugh. I came up with "Think over drink" for the one that was given as "ponder over yonder".
jeRussell Nov 29, 2012	For #2 that shoud have been go 'dither' over 'hither'. For #3- A 'brain' with a 'drain". You can figure it out. ;)
spikethru4 Nov 29, 2012	jeRussell, nice try, but 'hither' means 'here'. You mean 'go dither over thither', which doesn't fit.
