Well done! Can't wait for more!!!

After I realized what I was supposed to do,it was pretty easy.
I thought the directions weren't clear at all.
easy. needed pencil and paper to keep track of used syllables.
I also used pen & paper to work it out; how else?? It took only a couple of minutes and I got them all. Easy but lots of fun! Thanks!
Fun and easy once I got started. I think the directions could have been clearer, but other than that, good teaser. Thanks for posting.
NICE!!!
great teaser. I misses #3, oops. I don't even know what that is....I just looked it up. Now I know. Thanks for teaching me a new word!
It was pretty easy once I understood what I had to do, but It was also fun. Keep the good teasers coming.
That was one of my very faves!!!

Cool puzzle. I got them all.
For those using pencils and paper, get with the times guys
I used Wordpad, copied the whole puzzle to it, then double-clicked each syllable as I needed it and dragged them to the ends of the clues.

I liked this, also. I don't use a pen and paper. I reply to the email I received, and use that email to work on each word, and delete the syllables once I use them. I work this way on a lot of the teasers.
Using word pad would work, too. I hadn't thought of that.
Three words, eight letters, three SYLLABLES, five vowels, three consonants, two nouns, one emotion, many meanings, a big lie, a rare truth: I LOVE YOU!
I LOVE THESE! Thanks for a good one! Have a great rest of the weekend, friends!
Interesting teaser,but a bit on the easy side. I'm looking for a bigger challenge tomorrow.
Fun and easy for a Sunday morning. Lapis lazuli gave me the first help and from there on it got easier. Loved it.
I predict that this will be tomorrow's Teaser of the Day.
How 'bout that, I was right!
rather easy
a bit more of a challenge if you do not use paper and pencil or Wordpad. Try that next time!!!

Good thing I've played Minecraft, or I never would've gotten answer #3.
I guess I was away when this come out, as I do not see my comment. I did it this time and got all but a couple as I did not take more time to figure it out. It is past my bedtime, but enjoyed what I did.
I enjoy doing these. I got them all without too much trouble, although it would have been easier if I used a pen and paper or wordpad.
Fun and easy teaser; I put this on a word document on the computer and worked it that way. I got them all rather quickly.
I recommend this approach (using a word processor) for solving teasers dealing with anagrams as well, since you can drag and drop the letters, enabling you to arrive at the answer faster.
This one took me quite awhile to finish, but eventually I got them all. A real workout for my brain today, but fun. This was the first one of these I, have seen. I am looking forward to doing more in the future.
Oops, wrong teaser!
