with the hint, I worked it out at the second clue
The hint was mostly because the word could also be 'cost', but it isn't... So, yeah..

I agree with MysteriousLight. The word could be "cost" just as easily as "comb."

I don't really understand your question. Are you saying that you can't play any brain teasers? If you can't, I don't know why.

Good teaser!

The teaser should be solvable without the hint.
Nice riddle but the riddle said the third is in "small"/i thought it would be "a" hence 'a coab'.all the same it was ok.

Good one! I didn't get it, of course. But hey, you learn something new every day!
I was also seeing coab, but that did not make sense. ok riddle, but not correct if you follow the pattern.
