Yes they can drive you SILLY...but I think most of us working on these are probably allready quite silly
Very cute teaser!
Hi:
I love posting in this site. Maybe it is a silly way of passing time, maybe not, but it is funny too. I enjoy practicing my English.

i think the hardest thing is finding the right letter to start on, after that it's (mostly) easy sailing
good job!

That was difficult but also fun and interesting... GOOD ONE
Yes, sometimes teasers can drive you silly! That was a lot of fun, good job with where you put the extra letters!
fun :-) Once I took 'Z' and 'Q' out of the picture the alphabets got eliminated one by one.

All around enjoyable. I found it pretty easy, but then again I'm pretty good with the whole coding speed. Good job!
It was pretty easy once I found which letter to start with. I started with X and then it all went smoothly. Great job.
Come up with more like this one cuz I really had fun doing it.

I liked this teaser! Thanks for a good one!
Great teaser.
really easy, but pretty fun
This was really great, I laughed when I read the answer
I could not figure this out. Too vague on the alphabet rule.
Nice one! My brain was not yet functioning enough this morning to figure out what you were telling us to do, so I just looked at the answer unfortunately. Should have left it for later, cause it was a cool teaser.
Nice choice of phrase by the way!

Guess I didn't understand the directions, but after seeing the answer it all made sense.
I liked this one a lot - glad it was chosen for teaser of the day! Yay!
Would have been better phrased "Eliminate one of each letter in alphabetical order..."
As "Eliminate all 26 letters of the alphabet in alphabetical order" I did a find/replace (replace with nothing) for h, then for i, then j... expecting some message to appear before I was left with nothing.

Just a reminder to everyone who is so critical that we have people from all over the world here. Can we spell correctly in their languages?
The teaser was easy if you just looked at it as a whole and tried to read it. The words just jump out because the rest is gibberish.

once i realized there was only one b in the message it was so easy!

To this American man, this was approached with the idea to make it entertaining!....And it was! You have to teach yourself to have fun with life. Keep up the good work!
Perfect little teaser to get the brain started in the morning, easy yet fun!
Very unique and very fun! Loved this teaser! I'm adding it to my favorites.
Cute, Cute..Very easy, the directions were fine, and I started with z.
It was great. I found it very easy, I started with Z too!
i didn't get it
I see another incarnation is making its rude and crude appearance...someone needs a life.
It's nice just to sit back and work out a teaser like this. Well written and challenging enough for most. Thankx for the teaser Madleon.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Silly silly! Love it!
Excellent job!
I thought it was easy, but original and fun. Keep up the good work!
Quite easy, but amusing. Yay!
That was a lot of fun to figure out! Thanks for the great teaser!
Now I thought thiis one was great fun. Keep up the good work.
I didn't get it at first but thanks
It was different - and I DIG that! Right on, good job!
I guess Im too impaitent (sorry about spelling?), beacuse I couldn't figure out how to do it. I Just decided to look at the answer to see if there was even anything there because I hought it wanted to me to get rid of ALL the A's, then the B's, C's... Exctera. I thought that it would then have no letters to make a sentence. Wirdness in my mind I guess. I think the sentence is funny though!!
I think this is a great teaser funny and challenging.
too easy
Ha Ha Ha
Hmmm, I guess I went at it backwards. I read(figured) out the words up to teasers, then eliminated the early part of the alphabet, then could 'see' can drive you silly. I loved it!
hahaha yep!
I don't know if it's just me, but I know I don't have the time or patience to do teasers like this.
That was really good! Great job!

LoL! that's how it ended up for meh :-) But I got it! VeRy Nice Teaser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whew,I had to look at the answer. It's too late at night here to figure it out. After I got the answer,then I went back to the teaser and figured it out. I did it backwards and it was still fun!
Interesting idea for a teaser.
I liked it.
I liked it.
I also wanted to say,sometimes I come on here not to figure out the teasers,(though I do glance at them) but just to read all the comments. It's so funny to see certain people getting angry,either they didn't like a comment or they didn't like the puzzle. I get a good laugh seeing how serious some of you guys are about these teasers. THEY ARE JUST FOR FUN. QUIT BEING SO SERIOUS!!!!
It was interesting for the first time - but more of these will really drive me crazy!!!
What "drives me silly" is inconsistent instructions. By definition, "alphabetical order" MUST start with 'A', making the instructions meaningless. Nevertheless, it was easy enough to figure out so it's not a total flop.

great job. just enough to make me think but not too much to drive me crazy.
and by the way...you can alphabetize things without starting with the letter A..what if you had a list of words to alphabetize and none of them started with the letter A? would it be impossible? no.
again...great job.

I thought this teaser was great!! The hilarious answer was well worth working towards!! I had no problem understanding the instructions either, although the suggestion by d17182 was a good one for improving it.
I started by scanning the early part of the given letters, and saw 'h', 'i', 'j', and 'k' near each other and suspected I could start from there. Lucky for me, I was right! I got through this very quickly, but the ease only added to the fun for me!

Clever teaser
Great one!!!!!
This one made a laugh.
Thanks
This one made a laugh.
Thanks
This was a very good teaser and lots of fun figuring it out! Great originality!
goodie good teaser
IMHO, Life is too short for some teasers. I smiled when I saw the answer though. Very clever idea.
Yup, a top rating from me too! Thanks - I went quite cross-eyed trying to focus on the right letters ... but got it!
i don't get this one. there was absolutely no thinking involved. it just required finding a few consecutive letters of the alphabet that were near each other (e.g., jklmn, pqrs, or vwxyz) and then eliminating them one by one. blah.
I still like this one. Nice to see a good one repeated. Thanks.
Fun teaser - the clue as to not necessarily starting with A made it easier =)
love it this is perfect for my monday morning brain... love it alot. Thanks!
I did not even try! I guess I am not as smart as the rest of you, but the instructions were misleading to me. I thought you had to take them in order like DEF or HI J etc. Sorry! I am not complaining, just did not undrstand.
Cute Teaser!
I saw "sometimes" right away but did not attempt the rest of the teaser, I am on my phone right now and without access to paper to write it out, couldn't keep track of both what I was reading and what I had eliminated.
Easy, but really cute haha made me smile
I agree with those who liked this quiz. It was fun and clever. and, yes, sometimes these teasers CAN drive you silly, but this was a good one. Thanks!
Good one I didn't get it but I still had fun trying. Brain fog or an excuse.
Yes! After sitting here for half an hour, I got it! Great teaser for a Monday.
So much fun....even though the first try I came up with 'Sometimes hope can drive you crazy'. But that didn't quite make sense, I guess. Second time trying 'these teasers' just jumped out off the page. That made more sense. Great teaser!!
cute easy fun
Fun and entertaining teaser. Took a few minutes but I was able to get it.
