I only got one of them. Good teaser.(First comment!!!)
nice. You are lucky I am posting YOUR riddle on my newspaper. Congrats. I like it. LOL
(other comment=first comment!)
Fun and entertaining teaser; I too only got the first one but still enjoyed the challenge.
Fun, interesting puzzle, thanks!
Once I understood the rules, ! managed to solve them all, even though I've never heard of: "Butte"?
As the 2nd word is the longer of the 2, maybe you could list the number of letters in the 2nd?
Could make it a lot easier, thanks!

Great one! I didn't get the last one. Maybe with a bit more thinking, but it eluded me.
I have to call out markw's comment from 3 years ago, though. You were able to get all of them, yet you had trouble with the fact that the poster gave you the number of letters in the shorter word vs. the longer word?? I'm not saying I don't believe you got them all, but just add +1 to get the number of letters in the longer word! Seems like a silly request to me.
