entertaining and fun. I figured them all out. Keep them coming cdrock! I didn't find them boring either.
i didn't think this was boring at all and i thought it was fun. And it reminded me of a song.
conjunction junction... whats your function???
HAHAHA.

HAHAHA.
loved it.
azbee that song popped into my head too. I thought this one was fun. I got them all, I only got number 6 by process of elimination though
I got so excited that I drooled on your sylalist. I hope you don't expect me to clean it up.
Ahh its too early for this. Nice though...
As for the extra syllable, I found three that weren't needed:
There was an extra "el", an "o" and an "e." I know because I wrote them all down while doing this teaser and checked them off when I used them. BTW, I got them all right! Wooo hoooo!! Yay for me! Excellent teaser. Kinda easy, but that's my favorite kind!

This is one of my favs. Not boring, just fun.

Way easy, but really fun! Good way to start the day
Got all but #5. Challenging, but not extremely so---just the way I like it!! Thanks!
Wasn't bad. Fun to do. Thanks.
CD Rocks....again!!! Great job!
btw, Smee, there were no "extras". All of the syllables were used. Recheck your list and also look at the answer...it should make sense then.

I didn't even use the sylalist for numbers 4-10, but I had to on numbers 1 and 2; and I somehow managed to completely skip over number 3 Don't really know how that happened, but oh well. I thought it was great and fun, keep it up!
gemini would have worked for #1 but greaat teaser
Great teaser! Two thumbs up.
Great teaser! First syllable one I got all them on
Sorry, Beaver, but I am a Gemini, and the ingredients for my sign weren't in the sylalist. (Great term, btw!) I LOVE messing with words, so this one goes on my fav list!

Hey, I did your sylalist2 that was teaser of the day on Oct. 13, '06. It was very fun, so I figured I'd search for your first sylalist! This one was fun as well, but a bit more challenging. As to booboobear...a sylalist is just a "LIST of SYLLAbles"....
Well done. A good little mental exercising, necessary after the holidays.
hear Hear !!! Good teaser. Keep em coming.
Another word teaser that I loved! Nicely challenging for this early hour.
Fun and Kool!! I enjoyed this one.
This was fun and easy, but you had to be willing to take the time to list all the syllables on paper and tick them off as you used them. I got a few just in my head, then quit, because I'd already done the crossword puzzle and word jumble in the newspaper and was on my second cup of coffee. Anyway, enjoyed it.
TIME HEALS ALL WOUNDS.
LAST YEAR, I RATED THIS THISER BORING, BORING, BORING.
HAVING THE EXPERIENCE OF DOING SEVERAL OF THESE DURING THE LAST YEAR, I HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINION.
THIS IS OK. VERY EASY, BUT ENJOYABLE.

Even being slightly easy, this one is still fun to do. A terrific little *energy starter* puzzle Keep up the awesome work!
For those that came after me, use a checklist.
I though elephant was parsed, el-eph-ant? because the only time a syllable ends in a vowel is if that vowel is long. I'll have to check that.
Good work!

That sure must have taken a lot of time...

OMG! IMURRAY is capable of reflection and change!! What a fine way for him to start the new year! Hope you can sustain that positive outlook!! (Yes, I switched pronouns--don't correct my grammar!!!)
As for the teaser's author, I LOVED this sylalist!! As you can see by my ID, this was right up my alley! It took a few minutes, and I got them all--perfect!
I was just away from the computer for 8 days, and am I glad to be back!! Happy new year to all.

I thought this teaser was very fun and made one think a bit.
Very enjoyable! I really like the ones with sylables I got them all fairly easily, but I used paper and a pen from the beginning. Good Job!
Easy, yet very fun. I love doing these syllable puzzles.
azbee123: That song always comes into my head too when I see the word conjunction!

Not too bad...easy but fun all the same.

A little time consuming, but fun and I got most of them.
good puzzle !! took me longer thatn usual.. Most time spent with "ornament " not sure why it was toughest for me I suppose I should take time to write and cross off ones used..just dog lazy LOL
I guess I feel the same way as I did in 2010. WHERE did 3 years go!
