Language brain teasers are those that involve the English language. You need to think about and manipulate words and letters.Language
In this teaser, I have given you 4 words. Beside each word are a series of letter groupings. Your task is to find the answer to the word on the left by choosing one letter from each of the letter groups to the right of each clue.

Nice teaser!
harder than the other one but just as fun!
Thank you
Very interesting. As a crossword enthsiast, I found this to be quite a simple one. Stimulating though! Thanks.
Sorry for the typo in the word 'enthusiast' in my previous comment!
I found the first two hard (too hard for me), but the last two easy.
interesting !!
i just dint get the drink

I loved this one - clever puzzle. Didn't Snoopy used to quaff a beer?
A good teaser! Missed canteen - I kept looking for some sort of container
Should have known this was one of yours Jazz. Great teaser, a little on the hard side but still fun.
Nice one Jazz. Being a wordster, it was simple for me. A rebus or riddle, on the other hand.......... Thanks for your always interesting postings
That was pretty easy. The only one I couldn't get was quaff. I've never heard of the word before. Good, fun teaser!
great job again jazz!!!... i began looking for a word to mean "a flask for liquids" for canteen but couldnt come up with anything... then i looked at the letters i had and came up with cafeteria... i thought about it and then thought maybe you were refering to a canteen being a place of recreation for military personnel (my best friend is in the army) and that it could be considered misleading... upon looking up the word in my Marriam-Webster dictionary, i now know that it means a small cafeteria also... thanx for another great teaser and teaching me something new today
and the only reason i got quaff so quickly is that i had just used it last wednesday at bowling when i looked at my teammate and said "boy, you really quaffed that beer down" (yes, just like Snoopy ) and i got a laugh out of everyone for using it

I got 3 of them quite readily; canteen took a minute. Enjoyable teaser for someone with my handle!!
That was a Good One I enjoy it.
Easy. These are good teasers. I have to say, I found your example (figurine) more difficult than the ones you used in the teaser!
Very good. Thanks.
Nice job. Took me a few minutes to get the middle two, the other two were easy peasy. Thanks for the teaser. Loved it.

Found it to be rather easy except for canteen ,and I had to look for the answer . I had heard it used that way before but my mind was in a zone . Thx. I liked it.
Thanks Guys. I'm happy you all enjoyed this teaser. As for the word 'quaff', it's a little beautie! That was one of my uncle's favourite words, especially on a hot day with a beer in his hand!
really fun!!!!!! great quiz! i look forward to seeing more!
Excellent work once again!
I got everything but quaff. I had to go to the dictionary to know what it means.
also it was fun and quite easy. keep them coming, it helps my self confidence...

That was fun! I got 'em all! Give us more!
Not my cup of tea. To each his own, I guess.
enjoyable
so hard i cant get any (:
Missed "Canteen" because I was only thinking of a canteen you'd drink out of. Didn't even occur to me to look at other meanings.
love these. I'm a crossword and Jumble addict, too, so these are easy, but I love them. Check out TumbleBees on Pogo.com and also WordWhomp.
Nice! But I didn't get the solution. How does it work?
This was a fun teaser. I enjoyed it, and with a little thought I got them.
I too looked for some kind of container for canteen. I have never heard it called a cafeteria.
Fun teaser, but I must make a correction.
Snoopy used to quaff root beer.

Got them all. I found the "words on left" served to confirm the hidden words (which could be found w/out the word to left). liked it

Fun! Mildly challenging. Canteen took me a moment to solve. I did the opposite of Zykezex - the words on the left suggested the answer so strongly, I just confirmed the answer was in the jumble on the right (except Canteen).
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser; I got all of them very quickly.
Pretty good. Never heard of a quaff, but that's the word I guessed anyway since they were the only letters that made sense to me. And I never knew a canteen was a cafeteria. So I didn't like that one so much.
