Is nomber 6 wrong or is it just me
Then again who knows how to spell these days
I knew this was cdrocks. good one I missed number 6. Oh well great job CD......
You could also use "Cartoon" for number 1. Nice Teaser!
Very cool.
Very tricky! I liked!
Nice one. Very thought provoking.
Oh Maaaaaaaannnnnn! When we had this type a while ago, people complained that we weren't told we could only use each syllable once; this time we weren't told we COULD use each syllable more than once, or there's a mistake because er is used twice but not listed twice. Doesn't anyone actually DO the teasers?
I know that mistakes will happen, I'm not complaining, but I'm suprised that no one else said anything or the clues weren't clarified after a similar one. Because I sat there teasing my brain for a looooong time before I gave up and looked at the answers.
And: just in case:SORRY IF I, YES I, AM MISTAKEN ABOUT THIS. I STILL ENJOYED THE TEASER A LOT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

HAHAAAHAAAHAAA!!!! I knew it! I knew if I ran my face about a mmistake it would be MY mistake, and it was. There was an er, and a ter. Well, sorry, but none the less, I think it should say only used them once, even though the ni syllable is listed twice, I just think it should state that at the beginning. heh heeheeeheeheeee, he heh heeee
did anyone know that in the syllables in the parenthesis are wrong on carousels??? They have two r's in the parenthesis, and one r in carousel... Just wandering if anyone would notice...
awesome teaser. took me a long time. however, the spelling for the word carrousels was wrong. it can be spelled with two R's , but the last syllable is "sels" not "seles". that did not take away from your teaser. thanks
I LOVE these sylasearches!
As for "Carouseles," it might be that this is a British version of the American "carousels."

very creative!! took me a long time and i still had to look at the hint!
Verry fun and enjoyable
too hard for me
Whoa...Awesome!!!
As usual, CDROCKS!!! I, like others, struggled with this one, but that is what makes them so fun. For a little while I was still trying to put them all together with out realizing that the first syllable was car. Consider my confusion. Was just too excited about another syllable teaser. Thanks
Nice teaser, i liked it.
Way cool!! Don't ya just love the gain for your brain when you put it thru the pain!!
i really enjoyed this teaser. got 7 out of 9 though. maybe ill do better tomorrow. still was fun.
Another good one CD. Looking forward to sylasearch 4
These are quite entertaining.
Carousel is just spelled wrong, not British. Or even French.
Carousel or Carrousel are accepted spellings, according to my dictionary.
Other than that, though, excellent teaser.

Damn, I love Sylasearches! I have all 3 of them on my list of favorites. When "cardiovascular" started coming together, I almost messed myself! J/K...
I didn't get the last one
Good one!
I found this very difficult. Sure kept me busy for quite a while until I finally gave up. Good job. Thanks for posting.
This is so confusing!
Love this CD! I also got cartoon which then left me with two mismatched syllables: ist and ets. Oops! Good one and just tricky enough to make it fun!
Tough one, I admit I gave up without a struggle. Only got a few , and one of them was wrong.
Next time I will persevere.

TWO WORDS "NICE 1!!!
Amazing teaser! Totally loved it! Took me forever, but I got most of them. The only thing is, okay, carousels might be spelled differently in different places, but in parenthesis (I know I completely blew that spelling) it says "car rou sels" or something, but outside of the parenthesis, it only has one r. Still a fantastic teacher! Nice job!
Sorry, I meant teaser, not teacher.
I did the same thing as Tonja--started with 'cartoon' and then missed 3 matches: -ets, -ist, and the last. Fun teaser, nonetheless!
