Posted by elwxxxswimchick on Oct 05, 2008 hehe didn't get one of them... |
|
Posted by jcann on Oct 05, 2008 What an interesting and unique teaser! I got most of them after reading the hint--that helped a lot. But I didn't get #10 because I thought there had to be less than three, although the hint didn't say that. Thanks--it was fun! |
|
Posted by Nicky101 on Oct 05, 2008 That was so fun! Sounding it out definitely helped me, even though I ended up sounding like an idiot... . |
|
Posted by phyllisa on Oct 05, 2008 Very well written, but I got stuck on 8 & 10!!!! |
|
Posted by phyllisa on Oct 05, 2008 Very well written, but I got stuck on 8 & 10!!!! |
|
Posted by FatHead on Oct 05, 2008 I missed #9, but at least I tried! And I got the others right! (Yea me.) Good teaser.  |
|
Posted by avonma on Oct 05, 2008 I misspelled onomatopoeia wrong (again), but at least I got 'em all.  |
|
Posted by avonma on Oct 05, 2008 That was fun! Thanks! |
|
Posted by GreenApples27 on Oct 05, 2008 got them all except portobello? Never heard of it. Can someone explain what that is? voodoo was the easiest and I didn't get onlooker until a long time |
|
Posted by kp52 on Oct 05, 2008 It was to easy for me. But it was fun. Great teaser. |
|
Posted by jmichalek0121 on Oct 05, 2008 number three got me stuck for a minute. pretty stellar quiz. |
|
Posted by jcann on Oct 05, 2008 Portabello is a delicious mushroom. |
|
Posted by jcann on Oct 05, 2008 Sorry, spelled it wrong. |
|
Posted by auntiesis on Oct 06, 2008 Loved this teaser. Onlooker was the only one 1 missed, the rest were fairly easy. Very clever. Thanks |
|
Posted by Barticus on Oct 06, 2008 I got nine of them immediately; number 10 took some head scratching. 5, 8, 9, and 10 are all potentially hard. 8   |
|
Posted by zaya on Oct 09, 2008 that was fun though seplling #5 right is a nightmare |
|
Posted by Javian on Oct 18, 2008 'Odorous' totally fooled me. Nice teaser. |
|
Posted by gymboy09 on Nov 08, 2008 Nice Teaser |
|
Posted by mathgrant on Nov 29, 2008 I got all ten. 3 was probably the hardest, but overall, I found it relatively easy, but fun. |
|
Posted by Babe on Oct 06, 2011 Very easy, but I like easy, and liked this one especially. Got them all. |
|
Posted by HABS2933 on Oct 06, 2011 LOVED it, as stated above, fairly easy. Got most of them just looking at them, a couple took a bit of thought, but for some reason orthodox stumped me, could not for the life of me come up with it. Was obvious once I saw the answer. |
|
Posted by quads84 on Oct 06, 2011 I feel like this one was a bit more original than most of the teasers I see. Fun, but easy. I finished all 10 in less than a minute! |
|
Posted by gaylewolf on Oct 06, 2011 Great teaser! I ttally lved this ne. (o's missing!) Thanks for a good teaser. Happy Thursday, friends!  |
|
Posted by doehead on Oct 06, 2011 #5 evaded me, but the rest were pretty easy. G&S |
|
Posted by wordmama on Oct 06, 2011 Before the hint, I couldn't get any b/c I was trying to put in only one 'o', since there was no plural in the directions! After the hint I got eight of them easily; I missed onlooker and cockatoo! Fun! |
|
Posted by davidrools on Oct 06, 2011 got 'em all pretty quick, but very fun |
|
Posted by auntiesis on Oct 07, 2011 Good one but a tad easy. |
