I thought No. 3 was Ducklidu, a well-known and well-used word round our way(!)
As you may gather, didn't get No. 3; otherwise, gold star.
This was a fun teaser peppamintp. I look forward to doing more of your teasers.
bandstand huh? Hmmm, dating yourself!
I got 3 but i culdnt get the others
fun but
fun but
Good teaser, I enjoyed it thoroughly!
Nice one. The last one took a little ink.
I loved it! I actually got them right! Keep em comin!
Thanks for the clever puzzle - I was trying to make two words out of each one. When I finally looked at the answers I laughed at myself. It was still fun.
Shucks! I missed leaflet. to bad 4 me.
I did enjoy though.
I did enjoy though.
NICE!!!
Very cool.
Great one. Took just the right amount of time to solve, to keep from being bored or frustrated.
Great teaser! Only when I clicked to get the whole teaser the answer was already showing! Otherwise nice job!!
Great one, got it only after a few minutes
I got them allllll!!! That was a fun one, pep. Like the person above said, just the right amount of hardness. I agree with Brain whatever his/her name was above, sometimes you click on your email link and the answer is staring you in the face, takes away all the fun! I wish that could be fixed! Thanks for the teaser, good one, Thanks!
GREAT TEASER! YOU GOT MY BRAIN GOING THERE! THANX!
I thought this instructions could have been written better. I was confused.
This was a great one to start the day. I got 3 immediately and had wort on the other 2. Fun, thanks.
Good job!
This teaser was cool!! I only got numbers 1, 2 and 4 and gave up on 3 and 5 so I looked up the answers. Good job!
that was fun, I missed neckline and leaflet...very creative
itn was hard plus i had a pretty rough night last night and im really tired
I got them all but took the longest with NECKLINE & LEAFLRT. I do them without paper or pencil making them true "brain teasers"
Oops! Of course I meant LEAFLET
DUckliDU ... LOVE it!!! But now I want to know what a Ducklidu IS. (Aussie term???)
PeppamintP, I LOVE the teaser. Of course, I love any involving "wordplay." Thanks for a GREAT one. It's a FAV!
That one was lame......lame, lame, lame.....
Peppa - GREAT job as usual...way to go!
Great one as usual peppamintp. Keep them coming. Had trouble with 3 and 5 and was disappointed also when I discovered the answer wasn't hidden. Kind of blew it for me. But it did make me think of another one B--kp--k. Am sure most of you will slide right by this. See you tomorrow.
that was a good teaser...liked it quite a bit.
good one!!! i would have enjoyed a longer list!
Excellent Got all but the last one,darn it.Keep,em coming
Cool! Thanks for all the fun! I got one right, but the others wrong. Oh, well.
Great puzzle I did'nt get 1 or 5 but but the rest were just enough to get my brain going a little more
Brilliant!!
that was pretty good although i would have used bigger and harder words but still very good
Very cool, even though I only got 1 right. Keep 'em coming!
okay teaser..i didnt get 3 or 5!! good job!
Awsome teaser! I even got it!
Vlerma- is your word "backpack"?

Cute
i found this teaser enjoyable. i had to work for 3 and 5, but finally got them all. excellent work.
good 1
I really enjoyed this one. Got a couple of em right off the bat but took a little while to figure out a couple so it was nice to have that mix. Keeps you working on the trickier ones. Great job!
good 1
love it
Very Good!!! I really enjoyed this one!
Nice, Pep! I got them all but the last, LEAFLET. Thanks!
The teaser was challenging. I didn't get all of them but I still had fun trying.
Vlerma I did read yours...The answer is backpack, right?
I AM NEW HERE, I LIKE YOUR TEASER
This was really clever. Didn't get teh last one
Good one! Had to work on #5 a little but got all of them!
This was an enjoyable puzzle. The last one took me a few minutes, but I got it!
I like these kind. Thanks.
I got most of these, they were fun.
I got 3 out of 5 but didn't really take the time to work on the other two. Sorry I didn't, because I do enjoy this kind of teaser. Really good teaser, Thanks for submitting it.
Terrific work! It took a little time with the last one, but that is what these teasers are for! Isn't it? Keep up the great work!
I couldn't get leaflet.
These are fun.
These are fun.
Really enjoyed the teaser. Good for all levels of difficulty.
i agree with coachpisco i was a little confuesed on teh directions but its good
Yes, Laila my word was backpack. I still really like this teaser Peppa. More please?
Nice, that was a lot of fun! Pretty easy, but that let the process of solving it flow very well.
I got 3 of them but couldn't get neckline or leaflet. Thanks for the teaser, Peppa. Enjoyed it.
Loved it last year and love it again this year.
I got a couple and then got impatient with myself and looked at the answers. I hate it when I do that! Good puzzle for making those brain gears grind!
That was horrible! Just another word blank! Be creative! Sheesh!
Well, I thought it was cute, and even verging on tricky. I struggled a bit with 'neckline', but got it, and struggled some more but gave up on 'leaflet'. It was just tough enough! Congratz on a good teaser!
Nice one
Loved that teaser!
Didn't get leaflet
Should have tried a little harder!
Thanks for a good one!

That was not nearly as hard as I expected. I only missed leaflet.
I had fun with it.
(Even though I couldn't get that last one)
(Even though I couldn't get that last one)
Missed leaflet.
Leaflet is the only one i missed.the first one i got was NECKLINE and that made me so happy.very good teaser
I love that type of quiz, but I'm losing my brain power - I did better in 2010 than I did today. Bandstand jumped out at me, the rest were slower. Have a wonderful day - and keep warm. Here in Michigan is reallllly cold!!!
Had fun really liked this type of teasr.
Only missed the last one.
Only missed the last one.
I do not know how I missed this one before, but enjoyed it in 2016 and got them all but one. It was nice having one that was new to me. A good one!
I've done this one a couple of times, but it still looks new to me. Love this type of challenge. Keep warm everyone!
Got 'em all, but the last one took some thinking.
Confusing directions, and the lack of an example spoilt this teaser for me, sorry!
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser; It took a few minutes but I got them all. I kept plugging in letters until I got the right answers.
