Lord_Hawk Jan 19, 2010	Brilliant teaser, I couldn't figure out the second to last one
mari681 Jan 19, 2010	Fun, but kinda easy, even without the hints
builder Jan 19, 2010	thanks again e-marc
crazy10man Jan 19, 2010	I found the E words were easier than the C words. But they were both still fun to solve!
doehead Jan 19, 2010	Although it was on the easy side. I'm elated that it was not an old repeat.
MarcM1098 Jan 19, 2010	Thank you all for your comments! There are several others in this series so far (Behead A - H), but also a Curtail series where the last letter is removed - those are a bit harder.
auntiesis Jan 19, 2010	I loved this one even though it was fairly easy. I missed #6, but got all the rest. Thanks
wordmama Jan 19, 2010	I got them all easily; you can tell by my handle that this is my thing. Much, much fun!!
UpNDown Jan 19, 2010	Gotta love these riddles. No matter what the difficulty, they're fun no matter what. Thanks Again!

Babe Jan 20, 2013	It was a nice fun one to work out and not too hard. I enjoyed it. I also enjoy Garfield cutebug which is not a child's cartoon. It is in the comic's page in the newspaper for adults..but even so, why would it be a waste? Anything you enjoy is not a waste. Some of us are in our second childhood anyway. It is a waste to be so critical.
cutebug Jan 20, 2013	Easy and enjoyable Sorry BABE,but I wholeheartedly disagree with you.
HABS2933 Jan 20, 2013	Another great teaser Marc.
iggy39 Jan 20, 2013	easy but i really liked it, thx.
Maggiethe8th Jan 20, 2013	Just the right amount to get my neurons firing!
Thekid4 Jan 20, 2013	I usually don't like these kinds of teasers, but I saw that it was teaser of the day, and decided to give it a try. I loved it! And I got it all right too!
