I like all your teasers
I thought #9 was tent, well it fits and you can live in one - I wouldn't fancy it in the winter though.
Good one Scubee
Good one Scubee
Excellent! I got 7 right - very enjoyable.
by the way - I said "tent" for number 9 as well!
Add me to the list of "tent" people. Fun teaser.
Pretty easy and very interesting. How about renter(tenant).
I love these kind of teasers! Keep them coming!
Good one! Here's another 'ten'- Persistant and courageous: tenacious
Nice one, tests our vocbulary too. Rather simple, though. Liked it.
I, too, thought tent. Nice fun teaser, thanks for posting.
That was fun. I was with you until the last three - I got:
8. tentative
9. tent (not a great answer - but it works for me!)
10___________(couldn't think of anything)
8. tentative
9. tent (not a great answer - but it works for me!)
10___________(couldn't think of anything)
could not #5 be tendon, they too can be stretched
On the contrary, Avonma, TENT is a great answer! I'm a camper. Great teaser--not too easy, not too hard. Thanks
I seem to have followed the crowd with tent as a dwelling. Otherwise it was easy, but fun. Thanks Scubee.
7 out of ten---
I came up with tent also and count it correct. I knew a whole family once who lived in two large army tents out in the woods year round, so I know it can be done.
What is this thing you all speak of? A tent? I agree it needs to be added as an answer and would also mark it correct.
That was fun ... thanks!
I had "tentative" for #8 and "tent" for #9 ... couldn't come up with anything for #10 though.

Guess Sweet Potato is my kind of guy because I also had Tentative & Tent and also missed # 10!
Great quiz!
Great quiz!
I thought tent also!!!!
Why Scallio, are you flirting with SweetPotatoe
Please excuse the spelling SweetPotato. I seem to have made the same mistake as a politician we once knew.
Great teaser! I got all but 5 and 8
Fairly easy, got them all but still lots of fun.
I didn't get all 10, but just enough to wake me up.
ten of ten,
Nice teaser. Not too hard and not real easy.
Ten in ten seconds...fun!
Oh well, for "Unsubstantial" I put "Tentative."

WOW- after that, we are probably better off BB is leaving.
Nice teaser. I got most of them, but not all. It was fun and did not take a lot of time to figure out. Thanks!
Sorry, junior level!
7/10; fun and entertaining teaser. I was unable to get 5, 8 and 10.
Good one. Although I didn't like the definition of tenuous being unsubstantial. I don't think that quite grabs it.
