mitzimesser Feb 15, 2006	I'm the first! Boo-yah! I got them all, I had to think about saber for a minute though.
brainster Feb 15, 2006	Nice one! Got them all except 'binge'!
choptlivva Feb 15, 2006	Whew!!! That one really jump-started my brain this morning!! Nice Fishmed!!
smarty008 Feb 15, 2006	THE PROBLEM IS THEY ARE ALL THE LAST LETTER.
sweetmama Feb 15, 2006	Couldn't get #5, great teaser, i loved it!
ffoppia Feb 16, 2006	NICE ONE, COULDNT GET BINGE
teen_wiz Feb 18, 2006	I couldn't get "binge" either, but extremely fun!
schatzy228 Feb 19, 2006	smarty???,,,last letter??? lots o fun, but easy
fishmed Feb 19, 2006	They were all meant to be the last word. This was part of what was to make it easy to figure out. Glad you liked them.
JessicaLynn Feb 23, 2006	I didn't get binge, but it was a very good teaser!
patpat553 Mar 17, 2006	I missed "cloud!" Cheez! That was the easiest one,too. Oh well.
lmurray Mar 17, 2006	BORING BORING BORING. WHERE'S THE CHALLENGE. A 12 YEAR OLD COULD DO IT.
atrac Mar 17, 2006	Got this one. Found it fun. Easier once you sopt the pattern that it's always the last word (this not detailed in instructions) Thanks very much
RRAMMOHAN Mar 17, 2006	Quite an easy one for an anagram lover like me. If the answer-word was not at the end of the sentence, it would have been better! However, I loved the cleverly worded sentences.
lukeschett Mar 17, 2006	Even though I only got 4, it is the best puzzle that I have seen! w00t!
smarty008 Mar 17, 2006	if tou make another one try not to make it only the last word. good teaser though
CharmedPop Mar 17, 2006	I really liked that one! It was hard but not yet extremely hard! very fun! thought you might be getting tired of me smiling so much he he!
feste Mar 17, 2006	I had a problem with this one because it was so ***'d easy. My how I love simplicity. Keep em coming
coachpisco Mar 17, 2006	EXCELLENT! Very well done. I enjoyed doing it.
coachpisco Mar 17, 2006	Imurray. Cut the guy a break. It was well done. Admit it.
nathalia Mar 17, 2006	Very good teaser but tire in #3 should be tyre. (At least that's how it's spelt this side of the world - I know sometimes American speeling differs from British English) Had fun though
nathalia Mar 17, 2006	leave it to me to make a "spelling" error while commenting on a "spelling " error
bradon182001 Mar 17, 2006	Pretty good teaser. Challanging, but not too challanging. Good job.
dragix Mar 17, 2006	Unique. The 1st one dealing with anagrams w/ sentences I've seen so far.
iteachkids Mar 17, 2006	GREAT teaser, Fish! I guess I just love WORD STUFF. Anagrams are always fun, and your sentence clues added lotsa FUN. Thanx!
kimberlykay Mar 17, 2006	Great teaser Fish....I would like to see more of these.
Fasil Mar 17, 2006	Got them all except dread. Would have been tougher if the words were in a different place for each sentence. It was fun anyway though, goodjob Fishmed.
whisperingwitch Mar 17, 2006	nice one,but all the words were anagrams of the last of the sentence
xolilangel827ox Mar 17, 2006	i didnt get #2 or #5!! but they were very good!!
SandraB Mar 17, 2006	I only missed #2 & 5 also. Good work!
azbee123 Mar 17, 2006	amazing!
hancar Mar 17, 2006	Way too easy!!
cherokeerose Mar 17, 2006	i did not get dread but i did get the rest i thought this was gret..good job thank you
Vigo95 Mar 17, 2006	i liked this one .it was really easy , though . perhaps i would have been more challenging if words to work with weren't all at the ends of the sentences and we had to search for the word we needed to unscramble . then again , i've never submitted a teaser so i'll be quiet for now !!!!! so thanks to those of you who do submit them so the rrest of us can have fun !
kikadez Mar 17, 2006	no it was kind of hard
rachellanders Mar 17, 2006	I'm not very good at anagrams. But it was a good teaser!
realm2346 Mar 17, 2006	It took me a while to get "binge" and "saber", but itwas fun and enjoyable.
kman613 Mar 17, 2006	i really liked this one. got 5 out of 6 (couldn't get the binge one).. keep em comin'
tahoegiles Mar 17, 2006	wow I thought that the dangerous "thing" for an alcoholic to begin is "night". I know thats true for lots of alcoholics!
lorelle_b Mar 17, 2006	FUN! I only got two of them! going on my faves ;)
cartwheel_queen Mar 17, 2006	didnt get dread o well
tamjp Mar 17, 2006	I liked it Papa fish! Easy but clever! Nice to log in and see your name on a teaser right away! Keep 'em comin!
rot10qt4life Mar 17, 2006	I liked it but it wasn't very challenging. Hey lmurray...I'm 13!!! It doesnt bother me though...
RedAngle65 Mar 17, 2006	good one! tho i did not get it
Sara2009 Mar 17, 2006	Boring and easy! Boring with a capital B!!! L.O.L.!!
riddlelover Mar 17, 2006	Clever...
vlerma Mar 17, 2006	Fishmed is the man! Great teaser. Just hard enough to make me think, yet easy enough to make me work for the answers. If all the complainers were as good at writing the teasers as they are about griping, just think of all the great teasers we would have. Come on people, constructive critics only, please.
eabreu92 Mar 18, 2006	funny enough, i did get #2... however, i couldn't get #3 or #5... but i did get get the rest right...
bluehawk Mar 19, 2006	FISHMED. ENTERTAINING, YES, EASY? YES. I ENJOYED NONTHELESS.
sean_paul353 Mar 23, 2006	it was good :lol :wink :
superben Mar 26, 2006	i got 5
Celanba May 08, 2006	I only got the last one.
kashby May 24, 2006	good 1
GebbieRose Jun 05, 2006	This one was fun, f-med. KUTGW!
drussel3 Jun 06, 2006	Fun...
CountdownCrispy Oct 27, 2006	Got them all - great fun, this one!
dutchymonster Jan 14, 2007	Good one Fish - loved it - I see this is #2 I'm off to find #1, #3, #4, etc (how many have you done btw?)
ViaTunisi Jan 24, 2007	Got them all! Very fun-- I loved it!
cloughme Mar 17, 2007	I wish you hadn't made it the last word in each sentence... made it extremely easy... Good job overall though!
scallio Mar 17, 2007	I wish I would have figured out that it was always the last word of each sentence! Duh! Don't know how I had missed that! I thought this teaser was much tougher than it initially looked! Loved it!
wordmama Mar 17, 2007	Missed sheet but got ALL the others!! Love this type! ty fishmed!
AbsurdHero Mar 17, 2007	I really enjoyed this one. Good job!
anion Mar 17, 2007	I thought it was pretty good. Having the last word in the sentence made it doable but I still couldn't get Sabre. I usually don't do well with anagrams. Great Job!!!
doehead Mar 17, 2007	I found this quite easy.I guess that is why my IQ is over 160.
puttumup Mar 17, 2007	nice one had to do a little brain strain this morning
Pizzazz2u Mar 17, 2007	A wee bit too easy, but still fun to work out! Careful about giving the answers in your comments, kids! It gives the answers to the others! Otherwise, this must have been one of your easiest efforts, Fish! But, it is great for the pre-schoolers.
katjojo Mar 17, 2007	I thought this was really fun!! Took a moment to figure out, but it was quite enjoyable.
kitty728 Mar 17, 2007	nothing fishy about this one, fishmed! very easy and also i think sabre is only spelled one way- sabre , i may be wrong - it happens... lol... keep em coming, make em harder, tks, later gators...
jcann Mar 17, 2007	I really liked this one. I didn't find it that easy because I didn't catch on that the anagram was the last word, even when I had figured a a couple of them out. I might have gotten them all if I had realized that. I think making up these teasers must be harder than solving them. Good job!
GobyDude Mar 17, 2007	4/6 I missed tread and dread
saradove Mar 17, 2007	Very interesting teaser i didn't get a lot of them but I liked them anyway Thanks for this really good teaser
Trishgal Mar 17, 2007	Well I got them all i really liked doing it , it gave my brain a workout ,course i did not notice the position of the anagrams and it was about right what can you say there. it helped youngsters,ibet
speedqueenkmw Mar 17, 2007	anagrams are fun.
FatHead Mar 17, 2007	I figured that is was the last word each time. I was right, but that still didn't help with #2, #3, and #5.
bradon182001 Mar 17, 2007	Liked this one even better this time around. Still one of my favorites.
OhEmGee Mar 17, 2007	i liked this one! i got most of the answers good job! message me please!
_numpty_ Mar 17, 2007	Cryptic Crossword clues, don't you just love them?
frozenrose_885 Mar 17, 2007	Good Job, but I don't really know what amagrams are. I still figured them out.
breathesunshine Mar 17, 2007	I enjoyed doing this one. I might just go find others like this too! Keep 'em coming!
composer Mar 17, 2007	Very nice job. Quite enjoyable (and clever, too!)
masquerademe235 Mar 17, 2007	I love these!! This is an amazing teaser!
solarsistim321 Mar 17, 2007	Pizzaz2u, you have to click on the comments to see them. I've never read the comments before the answer.... Anyway good teaser!
I_Write_Books Mar 17, 2007	Easy, but really enjoyable. Thanks
Madelulabelle Mar 17, 2007	Hey Imurrey, you were right. A 12 year old CAN do it. (although my IQ is over 130...)
jabdr Mar 18, 2007	Another enjoyable one, Fishmed. Thanks
cassiemark Mar 19, 2007	Good one!
starrychelx Mar 19, 2007	i got all except 2...
fishmed Mar 20, 2007	Glad you liked it.
Qrystal Mar 21, 2007	Hey! that was FUN! I didn't even notice that the anagrams were all the last word (although I did start suspecting that each anagram was going to be 5 letters long). Anyways, until I thought for a little longer, I was CERTAIN that the dangerous "thing" for an alcoholic to begin was "th'gin!"
measle1025 Mar 24, 2007	i love it! one of the best teasers so far. tricky at first but after spending some time on each i got all except the second one
qwertyopiusa Apr 01, 2007	Why all the anagrams are at the end of the sentence? That makes everything easier...
lilrena4ever Jun 01, 2007	gud 1 dude ;)
omgitsash Jul 26, 2007	#1 was easy...
princesspt Sep 28, 2007	good job!
doehead Mar 17, 2010	Another easy repeat,
patiencewithaP Mar 17, 2010	Got 'em all but #2. Great job!
auntiesis Mar 17, 2010	Nice job, kinda easy, but fun.
avonma Mar 17, 2010	I got'em all except "saber." That was easy, but FUN.
sunnybonghits Mar 17, 2010	Cute teaser. I probably would have liked it more, though, if it wasn't always the last word in the clue.
Elios Mar 17, 2010	Very entertaining. As others have said, these were made easier by the fact that the words were always the last in the sentence ... Still enjoyable though!
jaycr Mar 17, 2013	#2 I couldn't get past "gin".
Babe Mar 17, 2013	Got them all! Took a bit on one of them, but it just came to me at the last try and this is one of the best teasers that I liked. Good one!
gaylewolf Mar 17, 2013	I liked this one too- thanks for posting!
cutebug Mar 17, 2013	Very easy. Look at this one HABS,it is almost a new one by the editors standards.
HABS2933 Mar 17, 2013	lol cutebug! You are right this one isn't old enough to drive, drink or vote! It can't even get into a PG movie on its own yet! I agree that the teaser would have been much more challenging had the words been staggered and not at the end of the sentences. Still fun though!
Maggiethe8th Mar 17, 2013	fun! thanks, fishmed!
thecatladycac Mar 17, 2013	I only missed "binge" because I didn't stick with it long enough to strain my brain to try to figure it out! Yes, the teaser was easy, but I liked it! And once I figured out that the anagram word was the last one in the sentence, I was happy to not have to strain my brain to figure out which word to work on! I was feeling pretty lazy today
iggy39 Mar 17, 2013	Thanks I got them all correct, doesn't happen very often so I rated it very easy. Has to be for me to get them all.
Gwendalla Mar 17, 2013	I really enjoyed it! Got all but #5 and #3.
fishmed Mar 18, 2013	Glad you guys liked them. Sometimes you gotta put in an easy one.
