It's more challenging when the missing word is broken up
Oooh, is this the first of these where the word is not contiguous? Interesting.
I got this one fairly quickly. Lucky guess maybe. It's the first of these where I actually knew all of the words!
I enjoy these. Thanks!

That did not take too long, but still fun to do. Thanks for posting. Where is everybody?? Come on back for the fun of it.
Only took a moment.
I agree with Tilley about it being more challenging with the words broken up. Also agree with Snowdog about at least knowing all the words for a change. A good, fun quiz, looking forward to more like this.
Nice one. Didn't get past strongly suspecting the first letter was C :-(
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser. I got this one much quicker than some of the previous missing word teasers that I have tried.
