Excellent teaser!
That was awesome! .. thanks!
Thanks
First '09 good teaser, Somewhere between easy and moderate. Had to think and took some time.
I'd rather look for a needle in a haystack. To me these are not teasers,they are pretty stupid. Sorry,but that's my opinion.
Thanks Jazz for another good brain workout. Enjoyed it.
EZ PZ Fun teaser
great ,much better than the last one like this much . i couls see what had to be done. thanks
The explaination this time was spot on. This one made me think, but was doable. Thanks and more, please.
Fun!
Private -> personal took me an embarrasingly long time but the others were fun a relativly quick.
Excellent Teaser!
Excellent Teaser!
VERY fun teaser. And original, too; I've literally never seen anything like it . "Personal" absolutely stumped me.
Nice, I usually don't do this but yours was fun. Thanks.
This looked like it was going to be harder than it was. But there was no other synonymns for most of these. Didn't need the letters to guess all 4.
Easy, but fun! Had to think 2 seconds for what kind of dog, but everything else came immediately. And thanks for the example; understood that more easily than the written directions (pre-coffee!)
XLNT. I got all but #2 on the clues and verified by checking out.
So simple. No need to work it out just find another word that fits without all the hunting. ie. guardian canine you automaticlly know it is watch dog so what is to figure??
I got them all right! I love these!
It has been 3 years since I worked this so did it again and only got 3 of them. It was fun though. I noticed that one person always says it is easy when they figure it out, but when they do not get it then it is stupid. Hardly fair.
It says comments though, not good ones only, so I guess they have a right to their opinion whether good or bad.

Pretty hard, but with some time and a sharp pencil it was doable. Thanks.
Fun puzzle. Excellent instructions. I thought it would be harder than it was.
Toughest part was trying to figure out what Doodles is saying? Old Repeat? Doodles, do you think this was a duplicate?

Fun, easy, challenging and entertaining teaser. Enjoyed it even though it did not take too long to get the 4 words.
Sorry no challenge; maybe for the juniors?
I liked the process, but the clues were far too easy!
