Nicely done! Easy but very fun
I'be noticed in the comments here and on other teasers that some folks think that easy is a bad thing.... I guess, since I have so much trouble on the tough ones, I'm happy to see an easy one come along. It's like a wiff of fresh air in my muddled brain. Yes, this was fun, and a bit easy. And that's ok!! It had me sitting here grinning that I was able to solve one. Thanks for creating it and keep them coming.
once i figured out what to do itwas fairly easy. Am I copying someone?
This puzzle was easy when I understood the directions
Ohhh I got it now. I think the directions were too vaugue. Maybe you should have worked harder to make clear directions. I didn't understand it at all. I'm looking at the answer and I'm just like "What?! These aren't anagrams!" The I figured it out. So anyway, that's my opinion. It was kind of cute though.
I thought it was fairly easy, but very good! What made it easy (for some) were the clue sentences cause there weren't other words that would work in the spaces. Bood job, thanks!
Good one. I came up with the right answers, but wasn't sure because the directions were not very clear. Really made me think on this one.
I mis-read the directions. I thought the anagrams were on the same line, not above and below each other.
Ah! The directions were the true teaser. The teaster a mear red hearing. Very cleaver.
very easy but very good! A+
This one was easy AND fun! I was actually able to solve a teaser for a change! I personally didn't have any problems understanding the directions, but I had to read it twice before learning how to do it right. Good job, and keep 'em coming!
Good teaser..fun to do!!
Hey, what fun. I had gotten trap and part for #1 and rapt and team on #2 and then I figured out the directions because I could make meat out of team and rapt out of trap. Sooooo, the rest was easy. I'm glad I am starting to understand the anagrams.And I thought the directions couldn't have been written any different, once everything fell into place. Nice job.
I'm with bootscooter58 - I think it's great fun to have an easy one from time-to-time.
As for the directions, I didn't have a problem with them at all. Thanks, brainster!

I have finally figured out that 2 jumbo cups of coffee are the answer for me, 'cause I got 'em all right!!
Oh, and I didn't have any trouble understanding the directions either.
Very fun, thank you!!!

This was a fun teaser! Great job!
It was a really good prat, now I think I'll eat'm.
I love anagrams! I don't care if they're easy or hard, I just think they're fun. I felt really good after getting these. Keep them coming!
Wow, I actually got it right! I am amazed, usually I am stupid. TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY!!!!
Hey, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, WE WISH YOU A HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.
Thanks for all the comments you guys, this is my second teaser to make Teaser of the Day! What fun!
at first, i didn't understand what the answer was supposed to be because I misunderstood the directions, but then i reread them and I figured it out...
well, good teaser....
well, good teaser....
An easy one. Maybe it was easy for me to get the answers quickly, as I love anagrams. Good fun!
Easy,and the directions were fine With 2 groups of anagrams 3 sentences -how else could it have worked-Thx
easy but fun :
Yeah, I enjoyed this one. Easy but fun, and I didn't have any problem with the directions; just had to read them carefully.
I agree with others, once I understood the instructions, I got them right away! I like the easy ones, too.
Easy AND fun -- Hurray for the easy teasers!!
good teaser.
i believe all those who said "too easy" just say that to make others think they are way smart. quite contrary.
everyday i see a teaser and love to make my brain tickle.
kudos to all the teaser inventors.
more please.

I love anagrams ! I like this format.
godd job brainster
godd job brainster
Not the clearest of instructions but some enjoyment nevertheless
Good Job!
I also didn't understand the directions till I saw the answers. Enjoyed it anyway.
love it!
Easy, but fun to work out! WTG, Brain Keep up the great work!
Oops i did it backwards. I thought the words in each sentence were anagrams.
Very fun and enjoyable.I only got two of three.The first and the last.Keep up the great work!!!
Whew, am I glad I reread the instructions; after that it was a piece of cake. I would have preferred more of a challenge.
I've been batting a whopping '0' lately...it was fun to finally get one.
Clever teaser! Looking forward to Triplets lll.

Good job! I like anagram teasers whether they are easy or hard. I don't see how the directions could have been any more clear. I tried the wrong thing at first, trying to make the two words in each sentence an anagram of each other, but that was my fault for not reading the directions--not the way the directions were written.
I didnt take the time to read the directions correctly, so I was confused at first, but just for a second! I liked it, great job!!!
Very easy and very fun!! Thanks, Brainster!!
ewww... vlerma made meat out of the team. Cannibal!
Anyways, I liked this teaser because it was a cute way to display some anagram triplets in a way I hadn't seen. I've seen the anagram triplets before though, and that made it easier than it could've been, but that's okay, I haven't had much time to focus on teasers for long lately. So yay, I got it and that makes me smile!

Very easy
It took me a minute to figure out the directions, but the teaser was really easy once I got past the instructions. Fun one.
Fun once I figured out how to do it! Great job!
AHHHH. now I get it. I had some of the words but I thought the anagrams were suposed to be on the same line. fun teaser.

Fun teaser.
Directions seemed clear to me, though you had to read closely. Pretty easy but it was fun.
Thanks!
Jim
Thanks!
Jim
Good one! Thanks
good
I too had a time figuring out the directions. Not being alone on this makes me feel not quite so dumb. I got them after I figured it out and then it was easy!
I didn't have any problems with what you were supposed to do, though upon second reading when others said they had I can see where it may have confused some of the none English speakers.
Teaser itself was fairly easy. But given that the author most likely speaks English as a second language, it was enjoyable.

Once you get the first one the others are automatic. I agree w/ HABS remarks. He showed his profound brillance again.
I knew the key was going to be in the directions, and had to actually make myself Read them until I stopped skimming That was its own teaser! It fell into place & worked!
I love these puzzles! I noticed a couple of us responded back in 2010! Looking forward to a great weekend - wedding and baby shower - my grandchildren are growing up!
Easy, but fun for the young kids in the family.
It was a cute but very easy teaser. I like it when I can get them.
Easy, but fun!
Yes, easy but fun
I agree with the "east but fun" group! tHANKS
Nice ez, fun, teaser; quite straightforward really, thanks!
That's a twist on the anagram puzzle I don't often see. Usually the sentences are self-contained.
