| marcm, that was very nicely done! it definitely was tricky. |

| An excellent play on words. Though I love anagrams, I couldnt get it. :cry: :cry: :cry: |
|
| Posted by Question_Mark | 05/28/06 |
| I knew that I was to find an anagram of the word "itself", however I didn't know what the words were. Nicely done :D |
|
| Posted by AwwwSweet | 05/28/06 |
| Very well written! Repitition of the word "itself" kind-of gave it away for me, but still required a doubletake. |
|

| what are filets?! :oops: |
|
| Posted by JessicaLynn | 05/28/06 |
| I got the trick almost immediately, and I got stifle. I didn't get filets though! I was trying to think of words that began with St or Fl. Great teaser! :D |
|
| Posted by peanut-tiara | 05/29/06 |
| I agree with AwwwSweet and I got the same answer as JessicaLynn!!!
Good one! |

| Dear tintiniscool -
TinTin may be cool, but you need to send TinTin to School! "Filets" are slices of meat or fish, as in "Filet of Sole," or "Filet Mignon" (a gourmet cut of steak) or even salmon or perch filets. :wink: |

| Oh. I thought it was homonyms. I got "read" and "read"... the first one is a homonym of "reed" the second a homonym of "red," thus making the same spelling two different words, one the past tense of the other. |

| I knew that the trick was to find an anagram of "itself" but I didn't feel like it xD Nice teaser though, very well written. |

| Posted by kwelchans | 06/02/06 |
| Great one, I got stifle but could not come up with filets. By the way, tintiniscool, "filets" is the plural of filet, which is a slice of meat or fish (like a filet-of-fish sandwich at McDonald's). |

| wow! Were did that come from! I get it now though! 8) |
|
| Posted by tintiniscool | 06/05/06 |
| I know what a "fillet" is, but not a filet. :wink: |
|
| Posted by OldChinaHand | 06/05/06 |
| Filet is a variant of fillet and filet is also worn like a head band, check your French on this. Very well done. 8) |
|
| Posted by Unraveled | 06/07/06 |
| That was greatly written. Like most others, I knew that I had to find anagrams of "itself," but didn't find any. |
|
| Posted by jls900 | 06/13/06 |
| i knew you ment that, but i didnt care to think of the actual words |
|
| Posted by danielzerman | 06/14/06 |
| I thought it was "anagram" "itself"
because anagram can be changed twice and be the same so I got it wrong. Opps :wink: |

| BOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
|
| Posted by tedger | 06/21/06 |
| :-? :-? :-? Well technically if you wanted us to find an anagram for "itself" you should have put "itself" in quotes like all the other anagrams you used as examples. :-? :-? :-?
:-? :-? Right? :-? :-? |

| Posted by schoo | 06/25/06 |
| Nice, :P |
|
| Posted by SarahBeth406 | 06/27/06 |
| :D I'm so proud, I actually got this one. I rarely do! |
|
| Posted by HScott13 | 06/29/06 |
| I realised that we had to find anagrams of 'itself', but didn't have the patience to work out both of your answers.
As an afterthought I did come up with 'fliest' which is also in the dictionary (honest!) defined as the 'superlative of fly'. |
|
| Posted by Rach_ | 06/29/06 |
| Tedger - wrong, that was the trick part! |
|
| Posted by Smudge | 06/29/06 |
| Loved it.
Though, technically "fliest" and "flites" are both words.
But this was a very fun teaser...going in My Favorites right away! |
|
| Posted by cyberstar5150 | 06/29/06 |
| Nice ploy. I was stumped. |
|
| Posted by Badger | 06/29/06 |
| Got the trick right away, and got stubborn trying to get the anagram... I wasn't going to "throw in the towel"... Please return my towel at your earliest convenience. Good trick, tough anagram, great teaser. Thanks! :( |

| Posted by bradon182001 | 06/29/06 |
| Have to agree with Question Mark.I knew what I was supposed to do, just couldn't figure it out.Great teaser. :o |
|
| Posted by locutus13ds | 06/29/06 |
| I got stifle right away, but got stumped on the 2nd word. I thought fistle might be a word. NoGO-- :evil: |
|
| Posted by Neek | 06/29/06 |
| I wish I would give myself more time on these. I probably wouldn't have been able to get the words even if I did figure out that I was looking for anagrams of itself. Tricky one--good job! |
|
| Posted by Atypic4l | 06/29/06 |
| Um, udoboy? I'm sorry, but I know you'll appreciate this gem of knowledge. Read and read are homonyms: spelled the same, sound different. Read and reed, as well as read and red, are homophones: sound the same, spelled differently. Clever approach, though. |
|
| Posted by kcheer2493 | 06/29/06 |
| hey, this was already a brain teaser less than a month ago! Still good though :evil: :) |
|
| Posted by saites2001 | 06/29/06 |
| Finally, a practical use of anagramsite.com! :D
Very nice teaser. |
|
| Posted by cox_94 | 06/29/06 |
| This was a well written teaser... But I had No Idea of what could possibly be the answer. :oops: :lol: |
|
| Posted by scallio | 06/29/06 |
| Nicely written teaser.
:) |
|
| Posted by SandraB | 06/29/06 |
| Very nicely done. I figured out the "trick" right away and got "stifle" but was totally stumped for the second word! |
|
| Posted by WhiteLightning7 | 06/29/06 |
| ow, my head................. :o |
|
| Posted by iteachkids | 06/29/06 |
| Brilliant!!! Oh, how I wish I had paid attention to the category, "Trick" ... :oops: |
|
| Posted by Pizzazz2u | 06/29/06 |
| It was an absolutely fantastic teaser. I didn't get it, because I tricked myself by analyzing the word question. :wink: Keep up the superb efforts. Next time, I will pay closer attention. :roll: |
|
| Posted by lindquist_25 | 06/29/06 |
| Tricky, tricky. I was thinking way too hard. Very impressive teaser! :D |
|
| Posted by lindquist_25 | 06/29/06 |
| I think a little kid would get that easier than I did. I can't get over how great the teaser was. |
|
| Posted by Jilm | 06/29/06 |
| I was racking my brain on this one, but it turned out to be a riddle. I was taking it way too literally. Nice work, I need an aspirin. |
|
| Posted by qwart | 06/29/06 |
| no offence but it was kinda easy... :oops: |
|
| Posted by buenos | 06/29/06 |
| I think I was one of the few who got "filets" but couldn't get "stifle." |
|
| Posted by crumbbum | 06/29/06 |
| Got it easily, but I think using quotes around "noun" and "neon" means you should use quotes around "itself". I know it's nitpicking, but consistency counts. |
|
| Posted by jabdr | 06/29/06 |
| Great idea and so clever. I immediately got stifle, strutted way too much, then never figured out filets. :( Would love to see more like this. :roll: 8) |
|
| Posted by saleprice | 06/29/06 |
| good one, I knew itself was the word but couldn`t get the two anagrams.
Filet is to slice,bone or make into fillets........ :) |
|
| Posted by vlerma | 06/30/06 |
| Great teaser. Unfortunately I didn"t have enough patience to even try this one today. Very creative on your part tho. Maybe tomorrow will get me back on track. :( |
|
| Posted by kasiecom | 07/01/06 |
| filets- that which is left over after a fish has been cleaned and deboned. |
|
| Posted by Nellem | 07/02/06 |
| :oops: I was braingled completely on this one. Clever. |
|
| Posted by FatHead | 07/03/06 |
| These kind of puzzles are much like cancer; I got the hint but not the answer.
FH :wink: |
|
| Posted by luv2sing101 | 07/13/06 |
| Wow I accually found that one out on my own with out the hint!!! Great job and keep them comming! |
|
| Posted by BPKANERVA | 07/17/06 |
| That was a very good teaser, though I don't agree that "itself" should have been in quotes. The answer would have been to obvious |
|
| Posted by thimblenoggin | 07/23/06 |
|
:D You never actually stated the question itself. :D |
|
| Posted by Battery | 10/19/06 |
| i got stifle but i didnt get the other one :D |
|
| Posted by Lizzie713 | 10/26/06 |

It stumped me i didnt get eitheer :oops: |

|
| Posted by vbguy101 | 06/15/07 |
| No wonder this is "trick" |
|
| Posted by Freezinjoe | 10/05/07 |
| Um the hint wasn't helpful at all. There was no question asked. But i like the repition of itself in the hint. |
|
| Posted by beethovenswig | 05/16/08 |
| This was actually easy for me...nice one |
|
| Posted by trickster2005 | 11/30/08 |
| I guessed stifle. It was easy. It is easy when you remember the category |
|
| Posted by GreenApples27 | 06/29/09 |
| Very good! I didn't get it! :oops: Teaser of the Day - Congrats :) |
|
| Posted by doehead | 06/29/09 |
| By thouroughly reading the question,it became pretty easy. :D :D |

| I'm new at this and see that I have to learn to be much more sneaky and/or observant. Well done!!! |
|
| Posted by auntiesis | 06/29/09 |
| I didn't have a clue as to what I was looking for. I usually have no trouble with anagrams, but I never caught on that "itself" was the word I needed to anagram. :roll: :oops: :(
Boy, do I feel stupid? YES, I do ! 8) |
|
| Posted by tahomac | 06/29/09 |
| very clever,i didnt have a clue! |
|
| Posted by donquixote235 | 06/29/09 |
| I got the trick, but I couldn't think of any anagrams for "itself" :roll: |
|
| Posted by jcann | 06/29/09 |
| As soon as I read the hint I realized that you wanted an anagram made out of the word "itself" and I did get stifle, but not filets. To those who think the word "itself" should have been put in quotes, that would have given it away without the hint. We're supposed to do some thinking on these trick ones. :) |

| Posted by iapyx | 07/14/09 |

| *READ THIS WITH A COUNTRY/SOUTHERN ACCENT*
*sigh* Like so many of my predacessors I was young and easily found the trick itself. Yet for the rest of my life I was stuck in the country, searching a meaningless search. Yes it was a lonely life on the farm. All alone. No one to talk to... |
|
| Posted by beyonce123 | 06/07/10 |
| did I spell predacessors right? |
|
| Posted by dangerouspie101 | 06/14/12 |
| Lol i figured out the trick but not the amagrams of itself... |

| Posted by Obilio | 05/02/13 |
| I was checking on wikionary that "stifle" was correct when I saw "filets" under it (as an anagram, of course, WHY did they add those to definitions??) so I had to come up with a different 'other one'. I have heard the word "flite" used long ago, I gathered it meant a tiff or a tantrum, from the way it was used, so I checked to see if the plural "s" was correct, and it was so, to have a little fun :
Old Scottish Proverb:
If you value your life, do not start flites by telling your wife to "Stifle!" when she is making filets and still has the knife in her hand. |
