Last one is a little too vague. The frist one could be any synonym of that word (obviously), and the scond could be cut, gash, slice, scratch, etc.
I'd dump the synonyms altogether, but the rest of these are good.

didnt get the last one but got all the others. good one, interesting idea
this is a corny teaser..lols..♥
I liked the anagram one, but not so much the synonym and antonym blanks. I got water and rock for the third one... not sure if those are antonyms though.
Yay I got the 1st 4? Good one.

Well as usual CDRocks -but unfortunately vlerma only got things half-right this time. Still loved it so I'm asking more please?
A magnificent idea for a different type of teaser. There are too many answers for some of the sentences, but you may get more comments this way. It is still a super way to others thinking. Keep up with the ideas, though!
Vry vry gd, butt da 5 dffrnt 1s fuuld me 4 A whyl
What did he say? BTW, I liked this teaser.
Easy and fun! LOTS of possibles for number 4. Thanks for submitting!
PS: Some of the comments today looked like crypto-teasers!
Very nice. Easy for me, but maybe hard for others. Still fun!
pretty good, again #4 could be many different things, i came up with about 5 different answers before i looked to see which one the teaser used!
wow that was a fun one!! i got 1&3 but nothing else..
Je l'aime!
Je l'aime!
Very nice!
Thanx 4 the FUN!

I thought it was okay, but would have liked it to be either antonymns or synonyms or homonyms or anagrams, not the conglomerate of them all.
Whew! I got Feather/ Rock for number 3(Don't know if thats right), and cut/wound for number 4. Good teaser, but too many possibles.
Enjoyed it.
Great teaser!
♥ ♥nice teaser.What is up with these heart things?♥ ♥
♥ ♥good one♥ ♥
♥ ♥YAY!♥ ♥ It's my one month anniversary for Braingle!!!!
good teaser. would like a little more challenging, but that is my personal preference. thank you.
Aw CDRock, I give up too quickly. Got the first one then went blank. Great teaser!
♥ ♥
thx These teasers were different ....I Got half of them , but there was no way to get the answer so I peeked...
A good teaser that makes us tickle our brains for the appropriate words! Couldnt get # 4 though!
Cool..., got three out of four. I liked it cdrock.
Where is everyone getting all the hearts from? They are neat.
I didn't even come up with an answer for #3, probably because I couldn't understand how turning down any kind music would make someone more comfortable! Actually, it was because I figured it was a specific kind of music for which there was some anagram or homonym that would be a specific kind of bed... I just wasn't thinking it would be a simple antonym, though the description did say they could be there. Oops, my bad.
What I got for the last one was 'cut' and 'cut' -- homonyms! or even homographs! So perhaps there is an easy way for synonym to be removed from the teaser... as suggested above...
this was fun. although i didnt get #1. i got 2&3. but for #4 there are a lot of different anwers. i gut cut and wound. but it still was fun! so good job!
p.s. whats with all these heart things?!?!
