Cool...yet quite hard!
Glad you liked it.
Applause for another great teaser by fishmed!
Thank you. You make me smile and blush.
it's also the only one that begins with a vowel - the first one i thought of before looking at the answer; or the only one with double letters ('FF') - the second one i thought of before looking. i honestly never thought of the answer! much more clevererer than i thunk!

rad!
that was cool! great teaser! It was hard, but still fun! good job!
I honestly don't think it was so hard. I time myself on all these and it took me only 37 seconds. It was quite clever though. All those ST's alerted me to it.
HIGH becuase it doesn;t have a T in it.
Great teaser, keep up the good work!
