Ok, I get it..mis-read instructions very clever.
Thanks sand (y)...I appreciate your comments.
Fun and not impossibly difficult! My kind of teaser!
Fun, though quite easy.
n.b. An alternate solution for BRU(---)LY is SHY, to form BRUSHY and SHYLY.

I AGREE, QUITE EASY.
I thought the last one was more difficult than the others.
this ond was a little bit hard for me but it was all so much fun thankx for a good puzzler
after i saw the answers i still didnt get it.. oh well ..it was a good one you finaly got me..
I,m not sure,was that a 4th or 5th grade quiz?
Always quite fun to work out! And, they will always be easy for some of us but, it is how you have fun with 'em Keep up the terriffic work! Some of us will keep enjoying them
I liked this one. Made you really think about the answers. Thanks for the great teaser.
Definitely adding this to "my favorites." I really like the ones that are doable, but require a bit of thought--just like this one!! Thanks

HArd directions to express, but I till think you could have done them better. I thought if there was 3 spaces, 1 would complete the first word, and 2 would start the next one. Now tha I understand it, please make another one.
Nice job. I liked this one. More please.
I have seen this kind of puzzle before so I understood the directions right away. It was fairly easy, but I had trouble with the last one. Thanks , and keep them coming.
i dont get it--- didnt get it before and still dont get it after i read the answer - i dont consider myself dumb - maybe the instructions were foggy.....
I didn't do any cause I didn't get it.
LTSA FUN! They don't have to be impossible to be enjoyable! Please make more of these Jazz!
I dunno, I thought for some reason that the 2 words had to have some sort of connection.....
good teaser ,took a little thought to complete
Besides missing the last one, where I wasn't alone, I also missed cancellar; the other 3 were easy. Enjoyed; please keep these coming. ty jazz for submitting.

Thanks guys for your positive feedback (mostly).
For people like 'doehead' who constantly whinge about how 'easy' teasers can be, let me remind those people that this is a forum for ALL ages, therefore, kids in 4th or 5th grade will be trying to work them out too.
Those kind of negative comments says much about the person who wrote them. Also, there never seems to be any 'advice' by them on how to make a 'harder' teaser!

Also, it's not just age that makes the difference between what is an easy or hard teaser. We all come to this site with different backgrounds and expertise in various areas. For instance, I find many of the teasers involving words easy enough to solve , but they are fun and interesting for me. Some of the science and math teasers are way beyond me--and I'm far past 5th grade. I think the main thing is to keep providing a variety of teasers to suit all tastes and quit all this bickering about levels of difficulty.

This was good! It was fun, but easy. I got this one pretty fast. Keep up the good work, I hope to see more of these soon.
Thanks guys
Extremely easy!!!
Definitely love these kinds of teasers. Keep them coming.
Btw, I would tend to ignore the comments from doehead and Lmurray, as they usually complain about how easy everything is, but inevitably have some mistakes in their comments. "I,m" doehead? Go back to 4th grade and maybe you can learn how to write.
Great quiz!
While i found this teaser easy, I tend to agree with whomever it was in the older comments who said we all come here with different strengths and knowledge.
Not only are there people of all ages on the site, there are people from all over the world, many of whom speak a language other than English. Doing puzzles in a foreign language increases the difficulty immensely.
I too agree that perhaps those who criticize the puzzles and quizzes most, should write on of their own and see just how hard it is to do one that appeals to the masses.
Though I found it easy, I still found it quite enjoyable.

Nicely said Habs
Well written answer by HABS. I agree with him. I'm sure GW will also agree.
Yes GW definitely agrees. HABS can always be counted on for excellent, insightful comments! Have a wonderful day, folks - and keep warm. We're expecting 6-9" of snow soon - at least that's the weather report from my son! Hi to CB!
Excellent teaser..My hardest was the last
Nice, Enjoyable teaser; the 4th one took me longest; the rest came easily. Even the ones that are easy cause the brain cells to gear up and work a little bit - not a bad thing!
Thank you for submitting your teaser for us to enjoy

I'd like to +1 the first half of HABS comment - I, for one, am a non-English speaking and for me the puzzle (as all language ones here) was difficult (I only solved 3 and from them Bru---ly I only came with Brushy/shyly) AND fun.
The second half of the comment - well, I guess there's nothing wrong in criticizing the puzzle when someone feels it is flawy/stupid/wrong. This is the only way the author gets the feedback and can judge which of their puzzles are the ones most loved.

Fun, entertaining and challenging teaser. It took a little while but I got them all.
