Good teaser. Got 2 & 3, thought the first one was 'father'.
These are good types of teasers. They're fun.
it was cool! and a bit boring sorry!
I thought 'wind' for #2. Still good though.
cool
JUST LIKE THE OTHERS.
Fairly simple.
Good ones again Fishmed. I took thought father would work in the first one. More, please.
i think ive all ready had that one b4
Thought the first one was father too
Good teaser. I got 1 & 3, still don't get #2. Land fall??
Great teaser!! I got all of them except the last one. Oh well, it was still fun!
There were many alternate answers that are just as good: forefather and fatherhood, and woodwind and windfall. I got them all!!!!! I wish you could put more of these at once or just have three, but then have something to do with the three answers as well, like they all belong to a category or they all have something in common, just a thought, I know it's not easy finding these words. Thanks a lot, very enjoyable!
Easy, but my Navy days recall a Minelayer.
I came up with "father" & "wind" too. The possibility of different answers just makes the puzzles more fun!
I'm with GebbieRose ... and coming up with alternative answers is not only fun, but educational. Feste, thanks for teaching us about "minelayer"!

LAND FALL is where A hurricane hits land. or when reaching land from a flight or voyage.
That was a fun one.
number two could have been wind also,love these things
I thought it was hard, mainly because I didn't know any of the words, execpt for the last two.
Got it and loved it Fairly easy But fun.Give me more of those anytime.

the first should have been
FATHER

WIND

Good teaser. Fun,too. I can actually solve these kind.
Great fun! It's nice to feel smart at the end of a typical Monday...even getting the alternate answers. Thanks!
I had a different, yet correct answer to all three.
Too generic, but got the brain runnin'...
Got the first, 2nd I picked Wind, and I picked simply the letter E for #3. Gold brick is two words, not one. Golde is a yellow flower and E-Layer is a region of the ionosphere...
fun though.

Easy, but fun. Thank you for giving our brains a workout.
Hey, just saw Horse_Luver's response-- I too had guessed Wind for #2. Woodwind (intrument) and Windfall. I hadn't even looked at the answer because I was so certain I had them.
Interesting...
Interesting...
#2 - rock
#3 - mine or plate
#3 - mine or plate
Fun and entertaining teaser. I got all three but it took me awhile. I agree with the previous commenters that there are other words that could fit beside what the author came up with and those words should be acceptable options.
