thats too EZ but it can be hard for most ppl
Thanks for creating these - they are great fun to share at a party. Hope that's okay with you?
That had the potential to take up way too much of my time. I commend YOU for how much time I'm sure went in to creating it. Good job!!
Very Creative, had a lot of fun with this one, can make other words too. Don't mind the non-constructive comments, I think it was great! Please keep them coming 2 thumbs up and a high 5
Boring need somthing more exciting
Are you for real? Its Halloweennnnnnnn. Scare me.
Actually, it was fun, thinking about not having to complete it. Do the first letters of each word mean anything? Oh, well its too late.
keep up the good work.

I agree. It is a little boring and well... as soon as I looked at it I just went to the answer because it would have taken too long to work out. Boring and long, not a good combination.
I'm not sure how you can call it boring if you didn't even try to complete it. I tried and got some of the words, but couldn't get the whole thing. I enjoy word puzzles, so I thought it was fun. Keep'em coming!
Fine, but come up with something original, something fun.
I enjoyed this teaser, but I had to give up because it took too much time. I got 7 out of 10!
THESE ARE FUN. A GREAT WAKE UP FOR THE BRAIN. GOOD JOB
Some of these ppl make me mad
They havn't even tried the puzzle! What's wrong with you!! Don't post if your not even going to try!!
I thought it was hard! I didn't get them all

I thought it was ok! I did get a few but not all. I could swear that I have seen this on here not to long ago. Maybe with different words but I have seen it within the past few weeks. Whatever the case is it takes alot of thought to put words together like that and anyone who could make up word puzzles like this one I appluade you.
These puzzles take two minutes to dream up and two hours to figure out.
No direction, just guess work and a dictionary.
Anyone that said they finished this, obviously has nothing else to do in life.

What a great way to exercise my brain first thing in the morning. I got enigma first, I wonder if that means anything
Whew..after much thought and scratching through i managed to get them all....made a mistake at first and thought the second was horror instead of mirror..so that took some time to figure out..some were really easy..got enigma and azure the second I looked at the list. thanks for a good brain wake up this morning...
Okay PEEPS!!!!! It is called BRAINgle for a reason. Could it be that you are supposed to use your brain....hmmmm.....let me see.....YES!!!! It is NOT boring just because you don't want to take the time or make the effort to do it!
GREAT JOB PHREBH!
GREAT JOB PHREBH!
I jsut wanted to make a comment about the fact that people r getting upset because people a making statments of this one being boring. Just because someone thinks that something is boring does not mean that the are not using their brain it may mean that it was that is that they want something harder. People r intitled to their own opinions and if the don't like, care for, think that it is boring they are allowed to feel that way. That is why they call it freedom of speech!!!
Seemed like a lot of work to complete. Pretty good one nonetheless...

I think it is very smart! But...I am confused (not unusual) but didn't the instructions read "use each letter once only?
Yes, Mekaboo, you're absolutely correct....you are "entitled" (not "intitled") to having the right to speak freely. Because we choose to speak freely does not mean that we are "UPSET", it means that we are using are BRAINS to state our opinions. Try not to be so defensive next time. Most people are not on here to create chaos, they are here to have a good time, and that's how it should be. Have a Great Day!
Wow! When did this become so serious? I thought we were her to have fun not people bash. Grow up people!
I said this before but just encase you missed it, horray for the people who give us the teaser. A little constructive criticism is good for everyone, but negative banter is for the less imaginative. Great job to those who make our days fun with a little brain teasers, and congrates to those who try them.
These were great reminders I need to practice at my spelling to increase my knowledge. Thank you so much for giving me something to ponder!
Whew! Great BRAIN exercise! Just one little mistake can send you back to the drawing board. EXCELLENT teaser. And FYI: Boredom is a disease between the ears!
That was a LONG and TOUGH job to complete I gave up after about 15 minutes,got 7!!!!!!now I need to go and rest my BRAIN
Wow, that was really hard...I thought #4 was vouch....But I put down mirage for #1...I couldn't get it even with my dictionaries nearby (Webster's dictionary and the Scrabble dictionary.......GReat work.....
It doesn't surprise that I was thinking of everything except the right answer...My head hurts

I don't think boring is the right word, it just takes extra work and extra time. I got stuck on mirror. One thing, though, there were only 25 missing letters. The letter L was never used. (I used the hint and crossed out letters of the alphabet as I used them). Other than that, I liked it.
very nice
The letter 'L' WAS used. In Worldly.
I loved it! It took me most of the day. I had my mom work on it when I was in court. Azure, Enigma, Quirk, were my first. I kept wanting to put borrow for mirror. This was tough for me, but ofcourse I don't have alot of time or patience. My patience problem is why i signed up. Thanks
Kimberly Kay,
If you want to correct people, it is our brain not are brain!

thanks spoonful....I appreciate you taking notice of that....I was wondering when somebody would.
This was a good teaser! I only got about half, though...
When it takes longer to read the comments than to do the puzzle then it's no fun anymore.
Talk abour a long answer phew! Just a little to long for me. Sorry I lost enterest on this one. Still okay though,after I read answer!!!!!!!! . But it's cool
I liked this one, I thought it was harder than the similar one a while back. I couldn't figure out where the "x" would go, so I peeked at that one and tried again. I still couldn't finish it, and finally decided I had spent too much time on it. If I had come up with "worldly" I would've had it, but I was stuck on "morally." Keep them coming!
