YEAH POWER TO THE ANGRAMS!
Realized that angrams take the same seven shapes and form one new shape. same letters, different word. Good, but tough

ooops...didn't mean the CAPS.
Very well written! Clever and a very good teaser. Enjoyed it and had fun working it out. Good Job.
I love these! And I solved the second one first as I had not visited braingle for a few days! But this one's great too! Keep 'em coming!
Great job peppamintp. Very enjoyable.
Lots of brain cells fried on this, and I still missed one. Great fun however.
Good fun! Cryptic crossword solvers would find this teaser quite simple.
Hehe thats cool.
Some are too hard, some are too easy, this was just right.
That was interesting. Didn't solve it though.
Got it! Very fun. I was thrown for a few seconds by the clues until I realized they did not go in the same order! (I couldn't figure out why leash was a white heron!)
Great job!
Great job!
TRICKY, PeppamintP!!!
Wow, that was a cool one! I liked it, going to my faves!
I needed the definition of an anagram first to figure it out. I know not too bright but I'm working on it. Thanks!
i agree with moqur. there were ones that i never heard of, and then there were ones that just jumped right out at me.
Veery good teaser Keep it up
Oh boy, what fun!!!!!!!!!!!
I admit, I had to whip out the ol' thesaurus for this one, but for some strange reason, "egret" just popped right out at me first thing!! Just goes to show ya... something, not sure what though!
Very very enjoyable, excellent job!!!

MOQUR was saying that some teasers are too easy, some too hard, this teaser was just right. I LIKED THIS! I found it pretty easy, and got them all, by using the second list then finding the answer in the first list. I think it could have been at least twice as long, but that's me (obviously, heheh). Thanks!
Btw, does anyone know what the first commenter is talking about, the seven shapes making one new one?

Like musickmaker21113, I to had some trouble until I realized that the answers were not in order of the anagrams. Once I figured that out, I got them. You did a fine job, peppermintp. Thank you
haha, i have no idea what an egret is...but i got equip and leash right...good job! Not too easy, this was good
Easy! Now that I know what an
anagram is. Where have I been?
anagram is. Where have I been?
I got it a lil late, but very good not too hard but also made you think.
Became totally lost, but after I saw the answers, everything made sense.
That was so much fun, I missed equip, not to difficult either
Good One!!
Good One!!
I, too, had forgotten what an anagrqm was, but after a quick llook in the dictionary I worked them all out. Great job peppamintp!! Keep them coming! I enjoyed this one very much!
Great one. And you chose words with good letter combinations, which made me think. Loved it
i liked this one, i got them all. nice one!!
I too needed to realize that the answers were not in order. Fun one once I caught on.
I liked this one! Unfortunately, I only got "leash" and "equip"
HEH! i ENJOYED THE "angrams" spelled correctly or not. I got the jest of the fun. Good job PeppermintP,Keep em coming

Thought this was fairly easy,but still enjoyable.
Didn't get the first one, but thought it was pretty good.
Loved it, Thanks for posting.
Took a little time for index, but got it!
That was fun! Got 'em all! Give us more!
DEFINATLY NEED SOME THING TO WAKE ME UP...
I got 4 out of 5 . Index threw me. Enjoyed this one. Thanks.
I loved this teaser and got them all - this is my favorite type of teaser - something having to do with words, rather than riddles and rebuses. We all have our favorites - thanks for posting! Hi and have a great day everyone!
I agree with Gayle, word puzzles are my favourites as well. This was a great teaser. Wasn't overly difficult but wasn't so easy as to be boring either.
A bit on the easy side,but enjoyable. I notice that these teasers are always repeats. Do they ever put on new ones?
Cutebug, now I'll answer you the same way I used to respond to doehead (miss him!) i.e. I'VE never seen this teaser before, so I was glad of the opportunity to solve it!!
Gaylewolf, we have the same likes and dislikes in teasers!!
Excellent teaser, peppermintp, even if I missed index!

Got'em all except "ogled".
@ cutebug I thought you were rather new here, why is it such a big deal if they are repeats? They must be new to you. I've been here many years and haven't seen all the teasers on this site.

Geez I just was curious,sorry I opened a can of worms and upset a few. I'll chose my words better the next time.
I meant choose
Love this kind of teaser. Like someone said it was not too easy and not too hard to solve. Definetly not boring. Good job!
I already commented in 2012, but worked it again and still liked it. Fun!
Now that I have been around for awhile, I do have to say that this is nothing but a overused repeat column. With that said GOODBYE.
super simple; good way to start a week!
Got all of them this time. Thanks for repeating it.
Great teaser - Not too hard, not too easy - just right!
Egret is the only difficult one. I doubt many people here are ornithologists.
Great teaser. I agree with the past comments, perfect level of difficulty for a fast fun diversion.
Fun and easy teaser; I got all of them right away.
