This was cute; I liked it!
Very good! Enjoyable.
that's a nice teaser
I needed the hint to figure them out. Nice teaser.
Nice teaser!!! Too early to have to think about these tough!!
easy, but fun. Great for a Monday morning puzzle!
I got 1, 2, and 4 very easily, but I needed the hint for the oarsman. Fun! Thank you!
enjoyable teaser
I got 1 and 4 without the hint, but after I read the hint it became very easy.

These are brilliant Most language teasers are so easy to write, but I can tell these take a lot of effort. Good work. For the record, I got them all, but I was guessing on #1, as I had never heard of a prow.
This is only the 2nd time I have done this the 1st I got none right today 2 out of 4 thanks I enjoyed it
I also guessed at the first one-glad you do these, Marc! They're always good-
I really enjoy your Eye Rhyme series Marc, and this one was no exception.
Like "eighsse", I guessed at GROW/PROW as I had never heard the term before, but grow was the only word I could get to fit.
I had to think a second on the "POWER ROWER" one. I coxswain, hardly the strongest rower on board.

What in the great, great world of sports is a prow?
I liked this one very much, it was fairly easy, but very clever.
Most were easy, but like others I do not know what prow is. It was fun to do, so thank you.
This quiz was challenging and I liked it very much. I got them all and I enjoyed it. Thanks for posting!
Thank for this fun, entertaining and challenging quiz; I got them all but needed the hint for the first one.
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser; I got them all very quickly and did not need any hints this time.
That was fun and easy for me! Good teaser!
