Language brain teasers are those that involve the English language. You need to think about and manipulate words and letters.Language
In this teaser, I have given you 4 words. Beside each word is a series of letter groupings. Your task is to find the answer to the word on the left by choosing one letter from each of the letter groups to the right of each clue.

I loved this puzzle. Word puzzles are my favorite - just the right amound of challenge. I got these - more please! Hope my friends like these, too!
Doehead, since there were no comments before mine, I'm guessing this teaser is here for the first time! That should make your day!
I got all of them! Yay!
Really enjoyed this teaser. Got all but the artistic one.
WOW!!! I can't believe it, a new teaser. Allthought it was fairly easy, it will allow me to drift off to the world of new adventures on briangle. Gayle, you nailed it.
Fun to work on, got two out of three.
Interesting format--the first 3 I got right away, the last one got away from me. good teaser!
Bobbi....2 out of 3...what about the 4th?
Gayle and doehead, nice to see you both, nice to get a new teaser too. It was fun and I did pretty good. Missed aesthetic, oh well.

Took awhile, but I eventually solved it.
3 1/2 out of 4 For artistic I couldn't figure it out. Sometimes the way my head works best (?) is to start at the end and go forward. I got c-i-t-e-h-t (thetic) then drew a blank.
It is way past my bedtime and this looked like it was going to take some time so I skipped even trying. Glad everyone seemed pleased with it, even Doehead
I was up too early when I looked at this! Vision popped right out at me, but I was trying to spell glasses instead of eyeglasses and then I just lost hope.
I got all four right away with very little difficulty; enjoyed this easy and entertaining teaser.
This one was tough for me. None of the answers were immediately apparent, and I never got Artistic. Happily, I had time to sit and ponder it a bit, allowing me to get the other three.
Interesting puzzle format. I wonder if these would get easier if I did multiple teasers in this style. Would my brain be trained to see the patterns more readily? Good challenging puzzle.

I agree with gaylewolf, even though her original comment was 6 years ago! I haven't been on here for quite a year yet, but I have never seen an original teaser or quiz on here yet. Is there a reason Braingle does not post original material? Would anyone know the answer to this question? Just curious. I hope my curiosity doesn't get me bad karma.
