2. The talker was the opposite of quiet.
3. A cube-shaped vehicle.
4. Spade's situation.

Good one. 1 & 2 threw me. I was trying to put the relation first. Oh well, good teaser anyway.

Fun teaser!
Enjoyed it.

fun but i'm no good at these
I had "napkin" for #1 (as well as kidnap) and "loudmouth" for #2.
I also guessed kidnap,,napkin is backwards
VERY NICE TEASER THOUGH
VERY NICE TEASER THOUGH

was kinda hard. i got 2 and 3 easily, but 1 and 4 killed me, lol.
Number 4 stumped me, I enjoyed them.Thx.


#4 also stumped me. Good teaser.

Glad to see I'm in good company today. I also got kidnap and loudmouth. Couldn't crack the last two. LOL.
Good work.Got them all.( Lucky I guess)


Well!! It's unanimous
I still don't get #4
Though I know it will be obvious when someone explains it, Good one.



Thunder bolt!!!! I got it just now...suit..spades-hearts etc

Thanks Rock! That was Fun!
I got an incorrect answer for #4 but was on the right track.
I got ...Placecard (Card for Spade)
Derailed
Do more of these Please!

I got blocker for #3, block + car. #4 stumped me as well.
Great teaser! Completely logical and fun! I got stuck on #2... Please make more!

i didn't have a problem with suit in #4.....
but i must be missing how situation=case
but i must be missing how situation=case

They all made since to me once I saw the answers. I did get two right on my own. I enjoyed the teaser myself. Thanks for posting.

Good teaser. I missed #4 too. I thought about cards for spade, but still didn't think of suit. I don't play cards much. I don't spend much time dwelling on the ones that I don't get pretty quick--just click on answer.

I didn't get n.4 because it says "Spade's" instead of "Spades'" - I was thinking of a small hand shovel for gardening...
Nice one! I misread #2 and just plain missed #4...

Good one ... thanks. The first 3 were somewhat easy, but I got hung up on "shovel" for the "spade's" and couldn't get past it.

hard!!

This is very clever! make more!
very clever and creative cdrock... #4 stumped me for i was thinking a small shovel also... otherwise, overall it was an excellent teaser



i got them all but number for. nice teaser.

#4 could also be "placecard," I think.
First three were very easy, #4 stumped me for a minute.


Divan also works for #3 - Die - singular dice
I only got 2. I wish you had said the first part of the clue did not have to be the first part of the answer. That would have made it a bit easier.
Babe, it did say you may need to flip the words.
Got them all after some thought. First came up with Kidnap but napkin works too!

I'm impressed how many got it right off-I missed 3 & 4, and got kidnap-love these things!

Poorly constructed, but good content. Good work

It seems to me that placecard (place = sutiation and spade = card) would work equally well for #4.
I had kidnap also until I realized that relation's was possessive so kid would not work unless you said kid's and that does not work either. Neither does napkin,so what could it be?.

I got 3 out of 4. I could not get #4; I really enjoyed this fun and challenging teaser.
Sorry, too many possible answers; not a favourite!

I also had loudmouth. I like the kidnap answer, but went with napkin myself. Fun teaser.
Didn't like "case" for "situation", but overall pretty good teaser
