Nice one, MarcM - but I don't think you need to state the first word is 'a' or 'the' in the teaser body; maybe in a hint would be better.
Wow, clever!
that was VERY GOOD !!!!!!!!
WOW !
WOW !
nice teaser. Maybe a bit too long for me. Could have made it into 2-3 teasers.
Good One!!
Agree with Moriarty, but still very good teaser. Thanks for posting.
excellent job. It must have been harder to develop this than solve it. It was plenty hard
Wow!!! Excellent teaser. I wish I had had more time to work it this morning. Thanks!
Fabulous!
Great job, that was a lot of fun!!!
Two words, NI CE!
Thanks for the great teaser. I got some of them right, but I confused myself on the rest. I still enjoy trying. Keep posting.

I am no good at Anagrams.
I got the bonuse & 2 others
It was written really well, when I
saw the answers it made sense.
Except I think the or a really were
the same in the answers.
"The Steward" "A Steward"
same difference.
I still APPLAUD you for coming up
with these questions.
I could never write that type of teaser.

Sorry my example was wrong.
"A pharmacist or The pharmacist"
I don't see a difference there.
Just an observation. Keep up
the good work!

Wow Very clever Way too tough for me, though I'd love to try again
2ndhandrose: It makes a difference because the letters "a" or "the" occur in the clue. You can't have it both ways.
This was a good teaser, but I agree that it was a bit long. It could have been two teasers.

too many!!!!
Really nice. One example would have helped. Me anyway.
Very nice job. I enjoyed this. More please.
great teaser, but a little long i agree... not to easy, yet not unsolvable... but i got a case of ADD by the 6th or 7th one, so i never finished it... thanx for the post though, i liked it alot, but maybe keep it shorter next time, cause i do want to see more
