I remember previewing this teaser..
Really good one. Thumbs up to the hints which don't give it away.
Trivial yet brainy & teaser-y.

Very fun - I thought Hawaii was HI though...
Very nice puzzle
It was beyond me though
It was beyond me though
Hawaii is HI, not HA.
That has already been pointed out, I submitted the error, but nothing has happen d as of yet.
Fun teaser! Before looking at the hint, I guessed for #1: Colorado and Alabama (CO+AL = Coal).
Very fun. I loved the answer to #1, although I really like COAL as a solution as well. I only got two without the hint. Got the other three after the hint.
