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 a 9-letter word. Your job is to break up this word into 9 separate letters and place them on the dashes to spell a 7-letter word, a 5-letter word, and a 3-letter word. You can use each letter only once.

Very nice teaser. It helps that there are not too many three letter words with a P in the middle.
Good job Jazz. I liked it too, and I agree with Moriarty about the 3rd word. Thanks for posting--keep em coming!!
I was close, but no cigar. I used vestige and spa from the get go, but was hung up on crush, crash, trash,brush and on and on. I never got it but it was great fun trying. Thanks
Good one
Great Teaser! Thanks.
I had Ape instead of spa, but i got prism and i knew th first word started with v, but i couldn't make it fit.
I started with ape, then switched to spa, but had priss instead of prism, so could never get the first word. If I'd tried to work it out on paper instead of just in my head, I might have done better, but I don't know. Fun trying, though.
How can I get vestige but not spa?
Well must need more coffee!
Well must need more coffee!
That was fun!
Somehow when I looked at the first word , vestige popped right into my head, and the rest fell into place pretty quickly.
Still, it was a challenge without being impossible.
Thanks!

that was pretty fun, I thought it was pretty easy
I had spa, and knew the first word started with v, but then my brain shut down. Very good puzzle, Jazz, as usual. Thanks.
I had ape too, but didn't get any further!
Thanks, Fun

Great teaser Got caught up in ape/prism/priss/spa but somehow never got to vestige
Thanks. This was very good.
Cool teaser. Not too hard and not too easy. I liked it
Good one! I had ape at first too,
but hated using 2 vowels.
Finally got it - glad I stuck to it.
Sometimes I give up too quickly! Thanks Jazz!

Word games, spelling, my kind of puzzle! Easy, easy since I'm a big crossword and jumble fan. I LOVED IT!
Great one! I got Vestige first as neither of the other words could have a V in them. Then I got the two other words shortly after I got Vestige.
It ook a while, but i finally got it. Nice one!

This was fun! It is simple and straightforward, but I definitely did not find it obvious. It was an enjoyable challenge.
I loved it! Nice and difficult without being impossible.
I figured the first to have an E at the end, which made SPA the only answer for the last.
Then I had to figure out where to put the V, and the only spot for that could be the start of the first word.
From there it was getting the first word with only two blanks, so that made sense.
Then filling in the second word with the remaining 3 letters, which wasn't tough.
I agree with Little Green Man's comments from 6 years ago, though. No comments leads me to believe Braingle is dying. So sad. So, so sad.
