Language
Language brain teasers are those that involve the English language. You need to think about and manipulate words and letters.Language
In this teaser, you are to start with the letter 'U', and then each time add a letter and shuffle it to make a new word. You need to continue this process until you reach the word 'SUPPORT'.
Not including 'U', you must do this in six (6) turns.
Good luck.

i got the same as a drunken man too
this was fun
this was fun
yeah I got differant words too but that might be because I was following the instructions and they clearly say to add a letter and SHUFFLE??? That is not what was done in the answer so I am soooo confused...think I'll go back to Trivia....
I got a different set of words too: U, UP, PUT, PUTS, POUTS, SPROUT, SUPPORT.
Lonewolf, it is possible to shuffle something back to how it was to begin with

I'm trying to figure what "Not including 'U'" means in the instructions.
Great teaser. Very clever,
and I'm also impressed with those of you who got it and used different words
I'd like more of these!

I got the same answers as leftclick. I liked it, but there were definitely a lot of other answers possible.
Funny how different words fit the teaser. I like this teaser.More please.
Nice teaser, many answers. Mine was: up/us; pus; puts; spout; sprout; support.
Fun teaser... I came up with:
UP
PUT
PUTS or POUT
SPOUT or POUTS
SPROUT or STUPOR
SUPPORT
Lots of different answers make this not too difficult, but a good wakeup excercise for the brain.

I enjoyed it. I came up with different words, but made it to "support." Thanks.
This was fun. I found several different words you could use also. But none of them filled the puzzle slots.
I tried following the instructions.
Came up with up sup to start &
gave up.
It seemed too easy & too many different combos possible.
Sorry, it was confusing.
THanks for submitting Tho

Good one! Very enjoyable!
This was enjoyable. I like that there are multiple answers possible.
I got almost exactly the one listed originally, except for some reason I imagined "SPOUT" as "STOUP" and hoped it was a word. That's what I get for not writing it down.

Come to think of it, I also got "PUTS" instead of "POUT" and then added the O.
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also did not understand the instructions and got a different list of words. Oh well, even thought it was wrong I had fun doing it thinking I was doing it right.
I had no problem with instructions or understanding what to do. My only issue with the puzzle is the large number of possible solutions. I thought those were frowned upon by the editors.
To many ways to this teaser makes it a very poor choice. I agree w/HABS.
I think that as long as you reach the final goal, any list of possibilities makes the puzzle a winner! I liked this one! Happy 4th of July week - everyone!

Hey Jazz: multiple solutions, pretty easy too, but what happened to your "shuffle"?
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser; I got the listed answer very quickly.
Easy teasy. Quick and fun.
