I have the hardest time with these things.
I always come up with the wrong word and have useless letters left.
Good teaser, though!!

Good teaser. I didn't get it though.
I enjoyed this, I found it entertaining. Good one.
It was a good way to keep the nerons buzzing for a few minutes, but what else are the teasers for? Thanks
Very well done. Thanks.
This was way too much work for me! I mean, geeze louize! Where does one start? Every time I got one word, every other word had to be changed, and I foresaw endless, eternal shifting of letters... I whimped out... Good work, phrebh, Thanks!
Oh my goodness, I did a word and had letters left... this was pretty difficult... I thought I got 5 words and I only had 2 ... But you did a good job, don't let my primitive mind stop you.
that was sort of tough...and boring...
I got number 10 right but I was sort of in a hurry
Can I buy a vowel? Nice teaser.
I didnt get any right, but then again I'm horrible at these things. Great job!
Great one ph
I got number 9! This one was too hard for me I guees
These kind of teasers are always the toughest ones for me. My puny brain can't do them unless I get a pad of paper and write down every "word" and then scratch out whichever letters of the alphabet I'm using. I always make mistakes too, because some of the words used aren't in my normal vocabulary.
As a footnote, I've noticed that Imurray seems to really get off on being a "party pooper" with all those negative comments.
Actually, in my opinion, they're ALL fun!!

Another great one, Phrebh. When you figure out the long words and odd words (where you can use a q or z) it shortens the 'pure guess' time. I love'em!!
well... it was kinda boring. i really didnt feel like taking the time to do tis one. and i can tell that the guy who made this one took a long time to figure this out.

Got them all eventually after a bit of juggling with the letters.

I, too, found it hard and challenging, but that's what it's all about, right? Did as the hint suggested, had local for !, frost for 4 and skirt for 7. Did get 3, 6, 8, 9, and thried to us prized for 10. As you can see I truly was messed up but I enjoyed it any way Phrebh.
Good Job!!!!
Good Job!!!!
Very challenging!!!!Took a bit of time,but it was FUN. Nice job,keep them coming
As I always tell my students - boredom is a disease between the ears. I think people who call some of the teasers "boring" just don't want to USE what is between their ears ...
This kind of teaser is really challenging. Consequently, it is great exercise for what is between the ears.
Thanx!!!
