I finished 1 and 3 on my own and 2 and 4 with the hint! Teasers that are not too challenging are real fun.
Great! I loved it!
the unified theme of the four words made it possible to answer 2 and 4. I would have never guessed 2 without thinking the word had to be a politics word.
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser; took awhile but got them all.
