Now these are good Fish. It's going in my favorites.
Could an alternative answer to #2 be "man"?
Man would work for #2, except it was the answer to What Words #19, so I guess it doesn't count.
Figures. It's the only one I got right! Way to stump me, fish!

bear able????? huh?
Wa to go Fishme. I really enjoyed your teaser. Into my favs. More, please!
Sorry about the typo Fishmed, now that's better. Still a great teaser, I just can't type too well this late.
As the song goes, "Two out of three ain't bad."
yeah, I wasn't sure about some of them... but it was still fun
Great teaser! Not to hard but still fun to do.
cool i got one!
Great puzzle, although i thought it was eazy i still used man on the second one. it works
Nice. Made my brain work. For number 3 I had fore-see-able, which also works.
Seems #3 could also have a couple of right answers -- all I could think of was "lock".
It was good...but someof the words I didnt even know! And there are always ones like this! still good though!
Nice teaser Fish - way to go for Teaser of the Day!
I got "see" and "lock" for #3 also. I think "lock" is acceptable, but not "see." We don't say "seeable," we say "visible." Nice puzzle -- challenging but not impossible.
These are acceptable as well.
FORE-MAN-HOOD
FORE-WORD-ABLE
FORE-MAN-HOOD
FORE-WORD-ABLE
I have a whole 'nuther option for #3, but I can't put it in the comment section ...

#2 fore - man - hood
#3 fore - play - able
#3 fore - play - able

good job
Liked it, but a few too many "alternate" answers. Thank you.
Couldn't the last one be 'play'?
#1 - land (both 'foreland' and 'landwaiter' are regular words).
landwaiter?
Yep, apparently a term used for customs officers in the shipping trade.
Did not know that...
