These are terrific puzzlers, for people enjoying crossword type puzzles. I can enjoy them, because my parents loved to figure crosswords, anacrostics, and various puzzle games. Even soduko problems, before they became so popular.
Dang, I've gotten good at these. If I do say so myself!
Excellent! Just tough enough!

also correct-with---all---over
should have got them should have got them
Another easy one at least for me. Good way to keep the mind active, tho 'cause you try to come up with as many good answers as you can and hope one is what the person who wrote it was thinking. At least that is what I do.
WAAAAYYYY TO EASY.....but cute
I didn't think I had gotten #3 correct, but I did!
I said: make--__do__--over
That makes sense too.
Great teaser. Keep 'em coming.

Maybe I am a little sleepy. I realize that the word: Make is part of the second one and the word: Over is part of the last one.
I just put them together somehow. Sorry

Enjoyable!!

I thought the last one was time
make-time-less

Like the Meatloaf says, Two outta three ain't bad!
Not too difficult, but it gave me some trouble. I don't like the easy ones, I'm looking for a challenge. Thanks for a good one.
enjoyed it
That was a good one. I got 2/3. That's not too bad. At least it wasn't HP.

Shiftless seems like an odd word to put in a puzzle... none the less, I got it.
Good Puzzle.
Too bad there wasn't a few more.

Great teaser! Just challenging enough!
Anothe good one, Fishmed I enjoy all of your word puzzles.
I have to admit I didn't get length-wise-crack... the minute I saw crack I could only think of anatomy... so I liked it... tough for me anyhow - I sure like those though
I don't mean to say that I liked it because it made me think of... anatomy... that didn't look right. I liked the puzzler
i didn't have time..otherwise...i would have done it
I got the first and last pretty easily. I got 'stand' for the middle one, but I guess your answer is a little better!
Took a little thinking, but got them. Not all of us can brag about how easy it was. I liked it and it was just right!
I didn't get the first one. On number 3, I used "time" - Make time, and timeless (although make time is two words and not a compound word) Nice teaser!
Glad you like it. i am always pleasantly surprised when one of my teasers winds up as teaser of the day. thanks for commenting.
Fun puzzle! I found it challenging and only got the first one this time! Thanks for posting!
Glad you liked it.
I liked this one. I got held for second one. I guess that is kind of right. This was a good teaser..
Thanks. Glad you liked it.
Very easy except for number 3: 'Shift-Less'( is that a word ) ?
Al I could think of was: 'Make-Use-Less' ?

Not bad. Got them quickly, but I wouldn't say too easy.
I agree with some others about shiftless, though. I got it, but I didn't realize it was an actual word. Although writing it here and not getting a spelling errors means it is! Mea culpa.
