Easy But Cool
Really cute teaser...thanks!
I wish the answer were typed out in the same order as the grid it makes it easier to check but its ok cause i got the answers right
Nice Job! Thanks! The answers DO need to be in the order of the grid. Some of us get confused easily!!!
Very easy, but it doesn't make sense. If they had switched the shells, wouldn't the new colors be the same as the old colors? But other than that, very fun!
very fun. enjoyed it a lot.
Excellent teaser with loads of personality.. Bravo!
i like that it was hermit crabs......it was cute..but i was a bit confused becuase of the order of clues and that the colours of the shells totally changed...oh well..it was still really good!
I thought it was cute and fun! Good one for the morning! Thanks!
I wish it were harder.. This one had a lot of potential to be interesting. It would have been more challenging if the crabs actually switched shells with each other. Also, so many clues were given away, I didn't have to think at all..
very fun!!!
Pretty simple, at the last moment when I was going to reveal the answers I accidentally clicked the Open Grid Solver button! Oops! Good thing I remembered what I had wrote down!
