Good one! thanks. With time, was able to get each one. Keep up the good work
Clever and nice. I had fun working this one out.
This was a lot of fun but might be better if some of the more common words started things off.
Great job, i really had fun with this one. Now i'll go get something to eat... something YummY in the tummy. Keep them coming!
okay, I admit it: I only got *most* of them, not all But good job! I learned some new words
This was a good one,but you could come up with a few answers to these Keep them coming
Tricky!
Good one!! I got a few of them but some of the words I never heard of before I liked this one. Keep them coming
I liked the idea but #'s 1-6 are a little uncommon don't you think? Great idea though.
I liked this one. They were pretty easy. Keep em comin.
Man oh man, my dictionary got a work-out this morning!! This was great!! Wish there were a higher 'fun' rating!!
Keep up the awesome work!!
(as the saying goes, "Wow, look at the brain on *that* one!")

it was fun, but some of the words i hav never in my life heard of
Most of the first half dozen are pretty obscure words, don't you think? Even for a puzzle. But the idea is great
That was great fun! Congratulations!
Very clever!
I loved it...fun fun fun...I also gave the dictionary a workout to come up with realgar and killick..I love learning new words...come up with some more
I had the same suggestion as someone else, maybe if you started with the more common words, it would be more enticing, because as it is, I tried every letteer in the first two, and when I didn't find any words that I knew, I said..., well, I gave up. But it's nice to see new words, and I think it's OK to use them as long as they can be found in a dictionary. It's supposed to be a BRAIN Teaser, after all, right!
I am sad to say that I only got seven of them. As already stated the first few were uncommonly used word therefore making it harder to guess the answer . I really did enjoy this one it makes your brain work out it muscles. Mine is very tired now so I must go to sleep. Keep them coming!!
I must be completely asleep, because I didn't get any of them....I just stared at the screen like this.... . It's nice to see uncommon words..I still haven't looked up any of those words or phrases I said I was going to look up, though
Sorry, but I wasn't too impressed. Maybe next time.
I got a few. This is very clever! The only thing is that, for words like olio that tend to be used in only a limited place (we don't use that word here in Canada & I know that many in the western US don't, either, nor many parts of the word), could throw people off & really stump them. I know it because of some people I used to know from Kansas, but a lot of people wouldn't know it or others like it. Just something to keep in mind.
This one had me stumped a little but i got it !
that was really fun. i thought it was very clever and thought-imposing. i only got some, but i still liked it!
Really liked ur teaser. . Didnt get all of them and I learned new words. Keep them coming
That was cool! I got most of them but some I couldn't figure out
realm2436 I almost spit my drink acroos the room when I seen your comment. Those eyes ( ) really did it for me thanks for the laugh
opps I meant realm2346 but you know who u r.
Cool Teaser...got most but not all words... (the guy with the eyes cracked me up though)
Good one - I got most of them, but had to work on some. Perfect teaser.
that was my reaction when i looked at the screen lol
Maybe it was just me, but I have never seen or heard a lot of those words. This was a little to advanced to me, it took me almost 30 min. to get 7. Good job to everyone who got them though
WOW That was tough, Some words I never heard before but it was fun trying I better go back to school
This was fun, I missed five of them, but I had fun working them out.
good one!
good one!
Great one! I didn't know realgar or killick and didn't spend any time with the dictionary!! Humbled me...I thought I was good with words.
Not easy. Some obscure words but a good workout
I didn't get olio only because I knew it was spelled oleo(word for margarine). I checked Wikipedia just to make sure I wasn't crazy.
That was really challenging...keep it up.
I didn't even know 2/3 of the words!!!
I guess that's my fault.
I guess that's my fault.
well i now know some new words, but i did get 12 of them
GREAT JOB
GREAT JOB
I got most of them...but there were some words I had never heard of...
Wow, I sang the 'abc song' over and over, and still didn't get many. Thank goodness for yummy.
Now that was a great teaser!!
THANKS!!!
