Great one- I hate it when I am to preoccupied to figure it out!! Got the Ram part though
Very "Smart!"
QUITE EASY, I'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE, IN HIGH SCHOOL ENGLISH CLASS; I THINK.

Yeah I actually gone one of these. Basically I got ram and worked backwards.
I didn't get it but I didn't really try very hard either. This is a fun teaser though!
Really fun brainteaser!
Easy,Easy,Easy.
That was a quality quiz!!!
Once I got tram the rest of the words just popped out at me with no trouble. Very easy on the old brain after a sleepless night. Thanks.
This was cute and clever!
Between my hubby and me we got it. I figured out Ram first and then got tram. Then he said, Mart and smart...
It took us a bit but we got it.
Great teaser. It was fun doing it. Keep 'em coming!!!

Good one! I actually got it....but if they hadn't put the male sheep clue I would never have guessed the clue.
Got it by working it backwards so I guess I was adding it back on Thx
wow. i got zero . i saw male sheep and thought "ewe" but couldnt work with it.....
it was a good one trickster, tks and kep em coming
it was a good one trickster, tks and kep em coming
Good teaser, I missed art but got the rest...
good one...i got it
wow..that was smart!
I DONT GET IT
got it and enjoyed it
Good One! Very cute!
to be honest, i didn't like it but i still think thats cuz i didn't understand the taking letters away. anyways, maybe i have to get better at this. Lots of people liked it, so its a good teaser!
Woohoo, I got it!! That was an enjoyable struggle, for those few minutes it occupied my braingled-brain. I was a little puzzled because I couldn't see how a letter was taken away to get 'mart', which was 'tram' backwards, but then I got SMART about it!!
I am so smart, I am so smart,
S-M-R-T!
I am so smart, I am so smart,

It was fun, but the rhyming . . . uh, it needs a little work.
Very well written, excellent teaser. Thanks for posting.
WOW, another old repeat. How lucky we are.
Well written...even though I had to work backward from ram! Great teaser!
Doehead, I never saw it before! I venture to say that not everyone is on this site every single day of every year!
I missed art b/c I was taking away JUST the second letter instead of both first & second. But the solution became clearer with trams and rams; that was very SMART!

Good one!

Pretty easy. Good morning Habs, beautiful warm day here. But a bit rough as this would have been my spouses birthday ( I lost my spouse in Dec).
I had to think a little, but came up with the answer pretty quickly - just about right for a teaser. Nice One!
