Great teaser, loved it
This was a great quiz, and I found it very thought provoking. I liked it because it really made me think.
I couldn't get the first one, but it was a fun teaser.
Love your language teasers: challenging, but not impossible, & worth the effort!
u would think the first one would be the easiest, not! i did get the rest of them right that was fun!
Not too hard... not too easy. A fine teaser!
cute
Excellent job! =)
never heard of pallet as a temporary bed, but got all the rest...liked it a lot!
Good job. You got me befuddled that's for sure. I kept trying, but to no avail. You win. Thanks for the post.

I got 2 & 3 with a little thought. I thought of chatter in 4 but it didn't lead me anywhere! The first I couldn't get, but also can't give it the time.
Very good teaser!
The sun came out finally (mid-Atlantic USA). Have a good day, everyone!

Interesting. Once I figured one word in each it became easy.

Nice one, had to come back to it, but I got em all!,
Yay! Got them all.
Like others, never heard of pallet for makeshift bed, closest I could get was billet?
