Calm, GR8 teaser. I enjoy playing with words. Sent this to my favorites.
This was great. I I really enjoy playing with the English language.
Got the answer but didn't get the logic properly. I thought of lung but by the same token I should have thought of reek.
got it rite but was a guess lol nice one!!
Nice one
too impulsive - had to look at the hint! nicely done
wow....search me.....that was good
I hardly tried ...and was surprised at the answer. I was thinking along the lines of the meanings of the words and wasn't getting anywhere.
i got the right group, but don't know why i picked it something about movement or i just don't know. that was a super teaser i wish i could have solved it.
Didn't get it till I saw the hint, but I thought Lung instead of Luge. Good teaser.
Nice one!
Very imaginative!
I must still be sleeping this morning. Didn't have a clue!!!
Thanks for submitting.
No clue. Even my guess was wrong. Like GebbieRose, too impatient to try and figure it out. Good teaser, it sure stumped me.
Great teaser! I got the answer but not before checking to be sure how luge was in fact correctly spelled. Very clever!
very nice!
A most excellent teaser. It is going in my Favorites!!!

I enjoyed this teaser. It was great. I did not get it until I saw the hint. I really liked it!!!
nice teaser!!
ummmm.. Somebody UnConfuse ME
PROUD should be in the first group as you can remove the U to make PROD.
But the U is not the middle letter.
Good teaser! It stumped me, though.

Excellent teaser! I never would have gotten it without the hint.
BUCUO (NOT BAD), NOT FOR THE AVERAGE GUY. WITH THE HINT ENTIRELY TOO EASY, BUT I LIKED IT.
SEND MORE, THE LOGIC IS THE KEY.

Neato. I had no clue, until I read the hint, and then suddenly it was extraordinarily easy. I guess that's better than a hint that doesn't help at all....
Couldnt get it, though I like this type of teasers. Have to work harder in future. However, this is a very good teaser. am looking forward to more of these. Thanks for the cleverly chosen words.
