7. It took two weeks to learn the "sh" sound.

Interesting and enjoyable. I knew before starting that I would have trouble with the ages and weeks; I had to do it twice! Good!
I got it in one try but i believe this is the first time i ever had to use the entire grid to complete the teaser. Nice job!!
Thanks thanks. Nice comments. I thought the unusual subject matter might take some thinking. One of the answers is left off, but you can figure it out by elimination. I need to get that fixed. M
Lots of fun and challenging without being too hard. Really kept me going. Keep up the good work!
wow! took a long time, but thats what life is. i liked it. kinda confusing sometimes but then just read it over
Thanks for the comments. I didn't think it would be as hard as some are rating it. I'm glad someone at least took the time to do it.
Great teaser. I liked that you had to read it carefully and think about it. Good job!
One of the more enjoyable grids, good job
FUN!!!! A real thinker! I had lotsa fun figuring this one out
Nicely done!
this one took me almost an hour real good job the most fun yet
Easy, but very fun! I had the last clue I needed when I read "Beth is the oldest."
Good Job!!! hard but not too hard I dont get the people that can solve puzzles w/o using the whole grid thouth!!!
Good job. I messed up on the ages and the sounds somewhere--but it was fun.
i dont know if u noticed but i may be wrong. the answers says the billy has smith but in one of the clues it says her student is a girl
No. It doesn't say Mrs. Smith's student is a girl in any of the clues. Mrs. Smith is a girl, but that's about it....
Fun teaser. It's also the first time I've filled up an entire grid! Was able to finish it without a few of the clues - because I filled up the darned grid.
I know that many kids stick their tongues out for the "th" sound, but having taught kids with pronunciation difficulties, I've seen them stick their tongues out for "s" and other letters/sounds. So, I couldn't use that clue in good faith.
Thanks!
