trewq Aug 04, 2010	I thought it was EBHBE, a pattern by the first letters but realized that was too easy. Nice job! but i always pronounced it A-sop. great teaser
dalfamnest Aug 05, 2010	Thanks, trewq. Yes, i was a little concerned about our different pronunciations. However, I did check a couple of American dictionaries before posting this one.
mepapa Sep 02, 2010	I got it !!! but I don't think it was for the same reason But I still got it
precious1026 Sep 02, 2010	Great Teaser. Didn't understand, looking for something entirely different. Pronounce Aesop as Esop. lost in Space
krishnan Sep 02, 2010	That was a good challenge. Needed the hint to solve it.
gaylewolf Sep 02, 2010	I like that type of teaser, too. I just didn't get this one! I'd like to see more of these - thanks!
elentir Sep 02, 2010	I too have always pronounced it as A-sop.
sunnybonghits Sep 02, 2010	I actually got this one (and for the right reason ), so I'm going to say nice teaser! Btw, what does EBHBE mean??
flyfisher Sep 02, 2010	A good hard teaser, but I guessed it right!
TallTimber Sep 02, 2010	Well done.
wordmama Sep 02, 2010	Since I teach phonics at a learning center (among other things), I got the pattern immediately and had the answer (never saw the hint.) Excellent teaser!!
auntiesis Sep 02, 2010	I, too, pronounce it A-sop, so even though I said the words aloud I did not get it.
patiencewithaP Sep 02, 2010	Fun even though I didn't get it!
dalfamnest Sep 02, 2010	Thanks, everyone - I'm glad you've enjoyed the little challenge! I checked the pronunciation of Aesop in a few dictionaries, and they all gave a long 'e' ... sorry to the 'A'sop fans!
