I like these teasers, they're really fun. I am curious as to what a "turve" is.
turves = plural of turf
Didn't get turves.
Harder than it at first looks.
TURVES?? Give me a break
Since when did turf need a plural?
I've looked at womens curves,but I've never looked my lawns turves!!!
Too many possibilities for me to solve. Sorry, not my favorite, but thanks for posting.
Easy, but turves ?

I like these, but quit too soon - only got 3. Turves was a stretch!

Got them all, but, like many others, found "turves" to be a bit of a stretch, since the more common plural of "turf" is "turfs." As for the question of when "turf" might need to be pluralized, consider the sentence, "The street gangs were protective of their various turfs/turves."
Are U SERIOUS w/ TURVES.. ruined the puzzle with something I cant believe made it to word status.. It is like the comedy monologue with Stewardess AND STEWARDII
My dictionary does not give a plural for turf. I don't believe that it needs one.except maybe turfs. It just seems to me that it is a made up word and none of us ever heard of it . Really not a word at all.
Look up 'turf' on Wiktionary. Plural is given as 'turfs', 'turves' or 'turf'.
Just because you've never heard a word, doesn't mean it isn't one.
Great teaser; easy enough to solve if you have a little patience.

Some teasers I don't even try and go right to the answer. This was one of them.
I got all except......you guessed it.....turves. LOL even my spell check questioned that one. LOLOL!
I only got the first one. AF
Fun, challenging and entertaining teaser. I got all of the words but it took quite a while to get the first one "turves".
I worked backwards from the last to the 1st, making this a fun puzzle.
That is until I reached no. 1; had a number of possibilities for that one, including turves, which I like my windows dictionary, have never heard of?
If not for that, this would have been listed, in my favorites.
