jazzmusician46 I enjoyed your teaser - first one of this kind for me. It was cute.
Thank you for that.
Another hard one for me! I need to get my brain in gear!
Sorry
sorry but i have to say i hated that!
Word teasers aren't usually my thing, but have to say I enjoyed it. Great Job!
that was challenging, i loved it
Pretty good, Jazz. I didn't get #3 but enjoyed trying.
nice teaser! I didn't guess all of htem... but I had fun! keep 'em coming!
I only got the first one. This was a hard one! Good job!
Sorry,but this one was boring
Very good puzzle! I got all of them except #2... couldn't seem to get my head around that one!
way over my head
but thanks for submitting it.
but thanks for submitting it.
Loved it! I liked the challenge. Only got 2 right. Would love to see more like this one.
I really liked this one! Excellent job!
Thanks, I liked this one. I got all but "labor." I didn't extend my thinking to a possible 5-letter word. I came up with a lame "day cap."
That was REALLY fun! Keep those coming!
Jazz, that was a toughie
I got 2 of them : Day Job and
Day Camp
I started looking for Day Dream
but it wasn't there.
Really gave my brain a good workout
MORE PLEASE ! Have a good day

Super fun! I enjoy the language teasers. I was thrown off by #2 because the word order was backwards for the answer blank (Day _____ instead of _____ Day). It just didn't occur to me to reverse the order. Silly me. Nonetheless, it was a great teaser. Thanks.
All but one! Yay for me! Loved it, please keep these coming!
Great teaser.
I missed #4 and thought it must have been day range, although I have no idea what a day range is!

That was a wee bit on the hard side. I got them all but now my brain hurts. Thanks for the great quiz.
Monday~
Monday~
Need more coffee!!
Great teaser... really had to think there for awhile...
I got #1 and #3 also. Brain went dead for the other 2. Fun teaser! I like these!!!
Well drat (again)! Could not get my brain around this one. Slightly different than last couple of WWW teasers...and I was sooo sure I'd do better on the next
Good workout. I got the first three and was sure I had the last one with "day rag" (as in "daily rag" meaning a newspaper).
my favorite i've done so far of your language teasers!
Really good one! I got them all except "Day Labor", that one was just a little too hard for me!
I liked this one a lot!
Great one Jazz. Loved it.
Thank you
Did not get 'labor' but got the other 3 pretty easily. Thanks for submitting, jazz!
Didn't get day one...great teaser!
Just missed Day Lobor, good quiz!
Sorry but This teaser was stupid!!!
Hmm . . . Wasn't sure what to do.
Good teaser - thanks for posting!
Impressed with teaser , unimpressed with myself! Ah well, it's Friday, so all is well-regardless!!
Not bad.
Only one thing I couldn't figure out, and it wasn't part of the teaser: how does this have a 2.44 difficulty rating?

I did not do well on this one. I did not quite understand what we should do and I am sure it is because it is past my bedtime. I usually do better than this. Oh well, tomorrow is another one and I can try again.
I got hung up on #2 for some reason, but the rest were easy.
I liked this one! I got 2 and then gave up too easily! More please!
////Great teaser! Like language teasers. Got all but day one. Kept thinking range or rang. oops!
Sorry, not one of my favourites!
Never heard of: day labor, the rest were fairly simple?
