Curtail M
Language brain teasers are those that involve the English language. You need to think about and manipulate words and letters.
When you curtail a word, you remove the last letter and still have a valid word. You will be given clues for the two words, longer word first.
Example: Begin -> Heavenly body
Answer: The words are Start and Star.
1. Attract or please through personality -> To burn; scorch
2. Giving out moderate heat -> Conflict between nations
3. Kingdom; domain -> True; genuine
4. Solid, hard; fixed in place -> Type of evergreen tree
5. Remove from the surface; glide on a surface -> Narrow runner for gliding on snow
6. Line formed by sewing two pieces together -> Large body of salt water
7. Sew the edge of a cloth -> Male person
8. Agriculture site -> At a great distance

Posted by craniac on Mar 09, 2010 Excellent. Easy but fun, though I'm not so sure how easy it would have been without the hints. |
|
Posted by builder on Mar 09, 2010 it was easy without the hints too but fun. Thanks for the new submission Marc |
|
Posted by doehead on Mar 09, 2010 A bit on the easy side, but a new interesting teaser.  |
|

Posted by bradon182001 on Mar 09, 2010 One of my favorites although easy to solve. Thanks for posting. |
|
Posted by sunnybonghits on Mar 09, 2010 Agree with pretty much everyone else so far. Definitely a good teaser. |
|
Posted by TallTimber on Mar 09, 2010 Good one, definitely solvable. |
|
Posted by patiencewithaP on Mar 09, 2010 Good one! Couldn't think of skim though.  |
|
Posted by jcann on Mar 09, 2010 I needed the hints for #s 1 & 3. Had to think hard on a caouple of the others. I really enjoyed it!  |
|
Posted by auntiesis on Mar 09, 2010 I had trouble with char/m, but the rest were fairly simple. I really enjoyed this one. Thanks. |
|
Posted by Bastet on Mar 09, 2010 Very easy, but enjoyable. I didn't need the hints and didn't even notice until after I solved all of them that the title itself is a hint. |

Posted by cutebug on Mar 09, 2013 Nice and easy. Good morning to the lady that lives about an hour from Grand Blanc.  |

Posted by HABS2933 on Mar 09, 2013 Another great teaser Marc. Got them all, pretty easy but lots of fun. Gayle - though I know the message was not intended for me and I don't have a clue where "Grand Blanc" is, I do in fact live very close. Grand Blanc translates as "Great White", which is of course how Canada is known - "The Great White North". *And yes I know it could also be translated as "Big White". (I'm after all Canadian - I speak French) |

Posted by Maggiethe8th on Mar 09, 2013 'twas fun! missed only char/m, and got some rid of some foggy brain! |
|
Posted by iggy39 on Mar 09, 2013 Had fun thought it was very easy but not that easy that it didn't make my brain work. |
|
Posted by hermygranger123 on Mar 09, 2013 Fun! After I saw the hint, it was easy. |
|
Posted by thecatladycac on Mar 10, 2013 Had to come back to number 1 and think about it some more before I figured it out. - Got the rest right off! Really fun teaser! |
