Got all except onomatopoeia. grrrr
I suck, 3, 9, and 10 got me. The rest were easy.
10! EZ but well done!
that ws awesome
great teaser! i actually got most of them!!!!
nice teser! I actually got some right!
*teaser*
Nice one i got all but three...i thought D was the first letter LOL.
great o words.
I agree with abrain, but too easy
Good job, I don't have the patience to think up all those words.
Nice job - I got most of them
Nice job, Scubee. I got all of them but one, and it was a almst impssible ne.
couldn't get the last three... no idea what portobello is anyway! but great job!
that was a good one!! cant believe i got all of them!!! woo hoo
hehe didn't get one of them...
What an interesting and unique teaser! I got most of them after reading the hint--that helped a lot.
But I didn't get #10 because I thought there had to be less than three, although the hint didn't say that. Thanks--it was fun!

That was so fun! Sounding it out definitely helped me, even though I ended up sounding like an idiot... .
Very well written, but I got stuck on 8 & 10!!!!
Very well written, but I got stuck on 8 & 10!!!!
I missed #9, but at least I tried! And I got the others right! (Yea me.)
Good teaser.
Good teaser.
I misspelled onomatopoeia wrong (again), but at least I got 'em all.
That was fun! Thanks!
got them all except portobello? Never heard of it. Can someone explain what that is? voodoo was the easiest and I didn't get onlooker until a long time
It was to easy for me. But it was fun.
Great teaser.
Great teaser.
number three got me stuck for a minute. pretty stellar quiz.
Portabello is a delicious mushroom.
Sorry, spelled it wrong.
Loved this teaser. Onlooker was the only one 1 missed, the rest were fairly easy. Very clever. Thanks
I got nine of them immediately; number 10 took some head scratching. 5, 8, 9, and 10 are all potentially hard. 8
that was fun though seplling #5 right is a nightmare
'Odorous' totally fooled me.
Nice teaser.
Nice teaser.
Nice Teaser
I got all ten. 3 was probably the hardest, but overall, I found it relatively easy, but fun.
Very easy, but I like easy, and liked this one especially. Got them all.
LOVED it, as stated above, fairly easy. Got most of them just looking at them, a couple took a bit of thought, but for some reason orthodox stumped me, could not for the life of me come up with it. Was obvious once I saw the answer.
I feel like this one was a bit more original than most of the teasers I see. Fun, but easy. I finished all 10 in less than a minute!
Great teaser! I ttally lved this ne. (o's missing!) Thanks for a good teaser. Happy Thursday, friends!
#5 evaded me, but the rest were pretty easy. G&S
Before the hint, I couldn't get any b/c I was trying to put in only one 'o', since there was no plural in the directions! After the hint I got eight of them easily; I missed onlooker and cockatoo! Fun!
got 'em all pretty quick, but very fun
Good one but a tad easy.
I work a lot of scrambled word puzzles so these were super easy for me and I got them quickly, and all of them.
Missed one Fun trying, though-
I got more than I missed. Not a bad start to a Monday.
10/10
I got the letter 'i' stuck in my brain for "nlker" so without the 'L' I got them all except that one. Fun!
I LOVED this teaser and found it fairly easy until I got to the last one. It SHOULD have been easy, but I couldn't get away from the word "void" which of course I knew was wrong. Thanks for a good one!
Cockatoo!!! That was the only one I missed and I was so surprised when I saw the answer! Excellent teaser - I had a lot of fun working my way through this one.
This was a fun teaser. I found it pretty easy because I like to do word games. The only one that gave me a little trouble was #5, as I wasn't familiar with the correct spelling.
I liked this teaser, I couldn't get number 5!
Fun and easy teaser; I breezed thru this teaser and got all 10 words very quickly.
