Otherwise, great teaser.
Took me forever to get it!

Thank you, signmeup!
Good one, but I cheated. I copied the lists, then put them in order of the code, so I could scan down them to try forming words. Nice job though!
Good one!! I liked it!!
I finally cracked one! Thanks to all you guys who took out the time to
PM me tricks on how to work these out! It really helped!

Paul...how's that cheating...I can't think how else you would do it (although in this case I noticed "W" and "B" were both in the first letter, so I guessed the answer easily enough).
It was fun. I am still not sure what I got.
Very good teaser... i gave up after five minutes of staring at it. =). I love your opposites.

Good one. Quite easy if you look at it the right way.
I started be tossing out Q, v, and f. The rest became quite easy. Lots of fun, but easy. I enjoy this type of teaser.
I'm not sure what the "correct" and/or "logical" way of getting the answer is but..
BOO-YAAH!!!
I got it right! Haha!
BOO-YAAH!!!

I just never understand these. I do not know what is expected. It must be new math and I am out of the loop on that.
nice, easy, fun teaser, thanks!
