I love those! thanks!
I Had a difficult time figuring out the last one, read the hint and got it. Fun Thanks
Didn't have to wake up for this one. Pretty easy.
I enjoy these, probably because I almost always get them.
Needed the hint for #2...love these! Good job!
For some reason I had no problem with this one. Good teaser. Thanks for posting.
I enjoy this kind of teaser, but this one was pretty easy.
too easy, but all puzzles are fun!
Umm...
Front - Face and Die - Crash aren't really synonyms, are they?

Face/Front are actually synonyms in two completely different senses
"face" is the "front" of something, like a clock or a head; also, they both refer to a pretence. http://thesaurus.com/browse/front
For Die/Crash, they are near synonyms (as the instructions say they can be), they can both refer to a broken computer.

This one did not take long either. A lot of similar ones lately. Easy, but fun!
Easy as they come.
I'm glad there are similar ones lately, as I figure them out pretty well! Did need a hint on #4, but the whole thing felt juuuuusssst right!
Again, found it to be easy - but I love these teasers, so keep them coming!
Not only are we getting repeats, now we are getting similar ones rather often.
We seem to have had a run on language teasers lately.

I got them all relatively easily, but primarily because those were the words I found quickest. I expected to see a lot more than one (1) comment about Dire/Cash. I also don't see them as synonyms- which makes this one a little tricky.
ANOTHER letter juggle?! We just had one two days ago!
Nice ezy fun teaser, thanks!
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser. I got them all very quickly. I really enjoy these types of teasers and I have had perfect scores on every one I have tried.
