Great teaser!
Good one!
at first I thought this was easy, but didn't realize that they had more in common than changing the first letteres so missed the second half. well done
uhm...I'm not very smart..but you are!!!! Great teaser...clever
good job!
Thanks, glad you all liked it!
whoa. i sure didn't catch that one. nice!
Long live Botanics Well done
It could also be words that rhyme with trees, in which case cloak rhymes with oak.
Great teaser! I needed the hint!
Sorry, but I agree with SIMARY1901! Not very good at all.
What made this a stupid teaser is that Yew is not a tree. It is a member of the shrub family.
Even with the hint I had no clue. Good job. Thanks for posting.
and staple rhymes with maple...
Havn't you ever heard of the ptaple and ploak tree? Native to East Bronx.
I figured out most of it, but I thought staple was maple and clicked answer before I realized that I would have to remove TWO letters form staple.
I got it!!!!
I got it. Quite easy actually, if you give yourself time to think. Good teaser!
Left me in a tizzy, couldn't even come close to finding a solution. Sorry, but I didn't get any of this one.
