Oh, those tricky teasers. This just show to read everything carefully. I thought the answer was "MOM."
Thats an old one.
i thought it was good
Oh, man, I didn't notice the category. You got me big time. I said "mom" and I was like IDIOT!!! I didn't get it!!!
GREAT TEASER!!!
GREAT TEASER!!!
Easy.
I am glad you liked it! I owe it all to my family! My 5 year old learned that MOM upsidedown is WOW in preschool recently and my husband uses the "spell 'it' " gag with our 9 year old while practicing her spelling lists.
Thank you to the editors for excepting it!

I meant ACCEPTING it.
Got it in one!
Drussel, if that's an "old one" then how come it got submitted? If it's OLD then obviously somebody would have already submitted it, and therefore this one would have to be reported as a duplicate and would not go through.
Man, this one was tricky....i would never get this one rite . Unless some one had helped me saying the answer is not "MOM". I liked it
i thought it was mom
To easy.
Many versions of it like:
can u spell your name
can u spell railroad railroad
but gj

Trickster1992 - i've read every single teaser submitted under the trick category, and i think it was old too. probably because the "spell it" one gets used a lot, but this teaser does sound familiar. and while you say that duplicates don't get submitted, trust me, after reading every single teaser, duplicates DO get submitted
that is the oldest trick in the book
good one ancient one but you didnt get it by me....cuase im good like that 80
tricky tricky....

This is like the kind of teaser that the kids told me in first greade.
I it was OK. I've heard better though
An OLDY but a GOODY.
i liked it tamip. thought it was mom also. nice one
i luved this teaser! it's def cute!!!
I got this one but only because me and my friends used to pull this one on each other when we were little. (i.e.) *hey, are you smart?* *yeah*, *then spell it*, then you would spell the word smart but the answer was really i-t!
I liked it though!
I liked it though!
Tee-Hee, I got "it"! I got "it"!!!! doin' the happy dance!!!! yay, so what if it's old, doesn't "it" make you smile though?!?!?!?
i have heard the spell it joke so many times....but i still like it
Yeah, dispite hearing a few different versions of that joke growing up, it still fooled me again. *sigh* when will I learn!
good one thought about it and still got it wrong! :

I agree with drussel, I think its old.

Woohoo!
Thanks
Thanks

fun and clever A++++
fun and clever A++++
i thought it was mom but then i knew it couldnt be. still didnt get it though. good 1
good one!
it was so easy and predictable
i always like that trick question but so many people have asked me it that I got the answer right away.
I'll be dipped in dinasour dung. Seen it right off, really old one there, cant believe they would admit it. lol Boring Alert!
i got it! it was kinda old though(are you smart? then spell it...)
Timeless classic / what collection would be complete without IT
Well I got "MOM" "MOM" (spelled backwards) and "WOW" "WOW" spelled backwards but I never got "IT" "TI". - LOL- You got me!
I'm glad that IT is still making people smile!
I haven't been around long enough to acuse "it" of being a duplicate, but with "it" being one of the oldest tricks in the book I wouldn't be surprised. Another one is ~racecar~
i'm 13 and i've heard the "are you smart.......... then spell it" one so many times yet i still didn't get it. Good one
I am super proud that people are still having fun with this one! I am going to go hug my family and thank them again for helping me come up with IT!
Good One!!!!!!
nice one i liked it it was very cool
Ratio of smileys to posts: 1.69. Not cool. Especially considering most of the smileys are smiling/laughing, when this puzzle is not only very old but has appeared in various forms WAY too many times on this site.
You just about got me on that one! I feel so 'cause that one just might be the oldest one in the book. But it truly and oldie but goodie! Thanks
and also
I thought it was "backwards" because if you spell it "backwards," then it'd be.. well, "backwards." I guess I got the general idea.
a+++++++++++++++++++
cool a++++++++++++++++++++++
thank you
