I like that. Got any more like this?
I also liked it because it was so easy ...and it felt good to start the day with a win!
that's good...i didn't even see that coming
I started out wrong. I thought: If there is not enough light to SEE... It was all downhill from there.
I DON'T LIKE THESE, BUT THIS OE WAS GOOD.
I'D LIKE TO SEE ANOTHER.
I'D LIKE TO SEE ANOTHER.
I got see in my head, too, so like Coachpisco, I didn't get the answer either. Good job, you sure fooled me.
that was a good one i like those ...
This was a good one and one where the words didn't get in the way, unlike so many others. Keep 'em coming.
Ditto coachpisco!
Ditto with those who saw "see" first - very clever. I would like more of these!
Not enough light for me to See this teaser!! URGgghh
There wasn't enough light to...
Wait, someone already said that.

That was very well worded, and yes, that is how you spell "readjust". It was correct. Though I didn't get it either!
I got it right away!

You have no right attempting to correct anybody else's spelling.

A Superb teaser! I had the answer within moments. After reading the comments, I was wondering who really did get the answers, but it doesn't really matter, as long as I know I had the correct answer... I have run into this teaser from a long time ago. But, to say that it is a repeat would be slapping someone in the face. And, I will not do that! Still, this is a fantastic teaser! Keep them coming!
Good teaser! I managed to get the read part right...just didn't know where to go from there...
udoboy i was thinking the same thing
Oooh... tough.
I would have liked for the teaser to contain several sentences rather than just the one.
Great teaser.

The lightbulb over my head did not appear for this one but I enjoyed trying anyway!
After that explanation, I think that it could have been better with more than one of these puzzles. The explanation was as long as the puzzle!!!! Don't get me wrong. It was great.. I just would like to see more.
that was a good one i got it right YAY ME!!!!
I thought the answer would contain 2 separate words since 2 lines were given so I came up with TURN and UP. Boy was I out in left field.
good teaser i liked it
wishing for more

cool one! do those more often! i have a question for all brainglers - do you really check the teaser first thing in the morn?
I check teasers days afterwards, sometimes.
Anyways, I didn't get this, though I tried thinking of SEE and READ in the first blank. READJUST! Wow. Toughie but a goodie!

PRETTY GOOD--BUT NO CIGAR
EZ PZ> But a clever teaser! Thumbs up!
You threw me...kept thinking "see." Great teaser!
ok btw u spelled adjust worng
Dec 11, 2009
The word was actually re-adjust. It wasn't spelled "wrogn"...
NICE!!!
I got read right away, but could not get the rest. Good one.
I too got read, but went down hill from there. Could not think of the other word to go with it. Good one though!
I got stuck on"see" and couldn't get anywhere after that.
excellent! A bit easy, but a nice way to get the brain going this morning.
That's good! I got 'read' at first, but I would never have thought of 'just'. Thank you for this! Very entertaining! Please make more!
And I would like to point out that, contrary to malkiour's theory, 'readjust' is a compound word; 're', meaning again, and 'adjust', meaning alter or move. This is indeed how you spell readjust.

Fun, entertaining and challenging teaser. Like many others, I got "read" but could not get "just".
When I read the answer, I think a lightbulb appeared above my head.
I tried this one again and got all three words very quickly.
