electronjohn Dec 03, 2002	Very clever and very hard, yet not impossible to solve, although I was unable to. Good job on this one.
xiaobaby Aug 23, 2003	yes not easy to figure out. hardly anyone would think out of the box. but then again, the purpose of these are to think out of the box. but whoever would try thinking in a prism, or a sphere, when boxes are so easy, yet answers from them are so limited. what nonsense i talking

FatHead Aug 23, 2007	Now, if the list had been vertical with plus signs next to each, I might've gotten it.

auntiesis Aug 23, 2007	I went at this one the exact opposite way. I dropped a letter and got oral, fiend, pot, and then I got stuck. This was a real toughie, but liked it.
tkubitz Aug 23, 2007	Took me about 20 seconds to realize I had to add a letter to each and get new words. Excellent puzzle as it depends on sounding out words. Tom
