Yay, I get to be first. Excellent riddle. The diamond part tricked me up. Good job!!
Yep, I wasn't even close to guessing that...great one! Keep up the great work!
that was hard, nice job
Very cool! Didn't get it though . Keep 'em coming!
Well, you could go two ways with a diamond and tarp was the best answer.
Great teaser. Didn't get it though. My mind kept getting stuck on carriage = pram
Sorry,but that was way too easy.
Way too clever for my morning brain Nicely 'put together'. Thanks for the teaser
i wasn't able to get it~!
Does getting one right out of the 3 count? I didn't think so, but I did get part. I also started with cart, not trap, so I was way off. Good teaser, thanks for posting.
Didnt know trap but got the other two right off. I would say good one but,
they are all good!!!!!!!!!!
Have a nice day!!!
they are all good!!!!!!!!!!

Easy and fun! I also started with cart, but after figuring out the other two, realized it wasn't right. Had trouble getting "trap." Thanks!
Easy after I had the second one .,just a matter of exchanging the leters. Something an elementary school student should be able to solve.
Way too easy, but then I have always liked this kind of puzzle.
started with cart, got it wrong, still great wordplay.
I did not get that one BUT I thought it was brilliant!
One day I will be better at these.
THANKS FOR POSTING GOOD JOB!

It's fascinating how puzzles are hard for some people, easy for others. Many teasers that others find easy are hard for me, but this one, which many found too hard, was a cinch for me. There's just no accounting for level of difficulty.
I found this one easy ... that's rare for me when it comes to riddles. Thanks for posting, it was fun.
I started with cart And I agree with craniac, I found this pretty difficult but a lot of higher rated riddles are a piece of cake. (maybe, pieces of cake? )
Got the 2nd and 3rd words, but not the first. Never heard of "trap" as a light carriage.
Really easy, you only had to get one word and had all the others. Helps to read a lot, especially English (as opposed to American) writers. For instance, Mr. Holmes, when out of the city, often refers to traveling in a trap.
And don't forget rapt, as in totally absorbed.
My thought process also started with "pram" for the carriage, but then it didn't' work with the other clues. Figuring out the second one gave me the answer to the first one, had never heard of it before but knew it had to be right. The third one was also pretty obvious once I had the right 4 letters.
Overall, a good teaser.

Very easy, but cute. I forgot I did this one before til I noticed that I had already rated it.
Well, I got tarp and part, but had tram as the first one and realized it had to be wrong when I got the other two. Therefore I only got two and I have never heard of trap as a two wheeled horse drawn carriage. Just now looked it up in the dictionary. Nice teaser.
And ... for all of us. Nice to have learned something. Would never have accounted for that without the comments.
Got SEVEN comments on yesterday's TOTD and betting we can beat that today.
Starting off with ONE (thanks, Babe) and waiting for ....
#TWO ... (I am not counting my own).

Well here is comment 3 though I am saying nothing as if you look 4 comments up, I commented 3 years ago and have nothing else to add.
Easy, even though I had never heard of a cart called a trap.
Very easy for me. Well I guess we will have more than 10 comments today. 5 by readers and 7 or 8 by the little rabbit.
Hey, cutebug, wrong again - as usual.
If you had bothered to read "the above" you would have known that I NEVER include myself in the "big-ten" tally.
So .... you are #FOUR
And ... I think the solution to your (and any others here) problem of irritation concerning my posts is a very simple one:
Any time you see the word BADBUNNEE to the left of a teaser or teaser comment, then ......
WARNING - DO NOT CLICK - DO NOT READ
That should take care of the problem unless you are unable to refrain from so doing by being immersed in your own self-imbued angst (look it up).
Now ... ON TO THE BIG TEN !!!

I don't have to look anything up. I probably forgot more than you'll ever learn. You are just overzealous about the comments. ENOUGH SAID rabbit. Crawl back in your hole!!!!
OK ... OK .... you win. I quit.
I guess one of us has to stop this and looks like it will have to be me.
no more BIG TENS !!!!!
And I will no longer reply to any of your flames.
On to .......... the BIG NINE !!!!!!!!!
Next ????

Good quiz, but I have seen this one before. We have some bright teaser-players here, but lately the sarcasm is getting very tiresome. Come on, folks, keep it nice and friendly.
Thanks, GW. That's good advice and I'll take it as such.
And that makes you commenter #FIVE.
Only need four more.
Next ???

I understand that riddles are supposed to be a bit difficult and not obvious, but I got tripped up on the instruction to switch the end letters. I was trying to swap the 3rd and 4th letters.
For some reason I had TARP but could not figure out what TAPR had to do with hair.
I totally did not see PART.
Better luck next time.

I see that I have already rated this, but it was still fun and easy. I, too, have never heard of a cart called a trap.
I searched for all the meanings of cart in all of the biggest dictionaries I could find, no where was the word 'trap' mentioned as a definition for cart.
Catmom- check the free dictionary by Farlex on the internet.
That was far too hard for me, but I still enjoyed the outcome. Nice job!
I got trap and tarp, but kept getting hung up because you said switch the "end letters", which to me would be the ones at the end. Since tapr isn't a word, I couldn't figure it out.
