Not bad Pimpslap. The directions are a little misleading though. Makes you think that one single letter should be used in both blanks.
If you look at the example that may help you.
As with your sequel, this teaser was fun but really easy.
Very fun, but I think we could use it as an example of the minimum level of difficulty people should strive for.
Fun & easy is fine for first thing in the morning. I got them all almost immediately, but those few seconds were very enjoyable!

Last one could have been save and salter. Salter, one who "salts away" his money.
It couldn't have been "save and salter" because it was waveR and falter.
Easy, but cute. Enjoyed this one. Thanks.
fun ! i just missed gamble and wager D:
missed the first two, then got the hang of it! Fun and still somewhat easy.
I liked it, wasn't hard or easy, kind of in the middle.
The last one won't do. Where I come from, to "waiver" in the sense of hesitate of falter is spelled with an i after the a. A waver is just someone waving.
Before commenting on the usage, spelling, or pronunciation of a word, please, consult a decent dictionary!
I normally suck at these but I got these ones easily. Must be lucky today.

Doesn't matter where you come from - 'waiver' is to defer or give up, while 'waver' is to lose balance or falter.

You're right. I was really off track the day I wrote that. I plead not enough coffee.

Fun one, enjoyed it.
I got them, but it made me think. I'm just glad there is a limited number of letters in the alphabet.
simply simple...I had rally and score though
These were easy for me and fun. Thanks for posting!
Got it! Needed something easy.
Well that was fun even though it was easy.
I got all of them except "tally." I thought of "rally" in relation to "score," but those aren't synonyms, even though rallying can lead to a score.
I got these fairly quicly, but I don't think it is too easy. I can see some of these bit of a challenge. I enjoyed this quick and fun teaser.
Ditto to Snowdog. Just what I was thinking.
Fun teaser, but way too easy!
