That was well done, but I wasn't 2 crazy 'bout it.
I thought it was RAIN and SNOW. Whatever.
rain and snow are not ops, and it would have changed a letter, not added. other than that it would have fitted!!
Oh, thanks Dumbell.
very cool - one of my favorites - i love the feeling of figuring it out all of a sudden
Very clever, and lots of fun. It took me under a second for both 1. and 2., then i spent two minutes on 5, then another minute of 4, and then five minutes on 3! But i gottem all

This teaser really had me thinking!

good one
liked it but couldnt get any
don't mean to show off, but I completed that in about 12 seconds.
nice teaser, despite!
nice teaser, despite!

It is ok
I Should have gone back and read the instructions again as I did not know exactly what to do so did not try.

Really interesting puzzle. Is it super hard, or super easy? Both, kinda. I got #1 and #2 right away, then got stumped on the rest. Then I spun around three times and looked again, and they all fell out quickly. I think this one makes your brain think in new ways. Very cool.
Very fun and challenging teaser; got two out of five.

It took me longer to figure out the instructions than the teaser I think. I did enjoy it though and am looking forward to more like this.
