The first one totally threw me off. This one took me awhile and then I finally gave in and looked at the hint. Enjoyed this brain workout this morning, good teaser.
Definitely not a favorite of mine. How many people actually know the word scry? Some maybe, but very few. I could think of a lot of words to use for a quiz like this one, but would try to find words most people knew. Hated it.
It's not easy making brain teasers. If you make them too difficult, people rate them as not fun because they are frustrated since they were unable to solve them. If you make them too easy, people also rate them as not fun because they weren't challenging enough.
Personally, I think this is a good brain teaser. It was challenging for me to solve, and yet not too difficult such that would have made it frustrating. Good job!

I'm with Babe on this one.
