YES!!!!!! I got them.........only having to read it a few times Keep up the Great work peppermintp
good job
Playing with words is my favorite game - thanks Peppamintp for sharing your fun teasers.
Fun teaser!
Ooh, interesting way to do a teaser
Well done...this was a fun teaser.
Some of them were tough
That was a great teaser! Thanks and keep'em coming!
they were pretty hard
It took me a few tries but I got them by process of elimination. It was fun. Good job.
Wow!! This was a really good teaser. Took a lot of mental effort to find the matchup that made sense.
You really know how to mince words. Good job. Took me about 10 minutes to work it out.
Well it took me more than ten minutes. I got threads from 'shed' and 'tar' and handle from 'hen' and 'lad'
That left my last two impossible to get but I was too stubborn to give up.
Great teaser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great teaser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very fun! I couldn't get them all since I combined "eight" with "wing", giving me weighting and leaving me with the impossible combination of hen and itch. Oh well!
A fun teaser, interesting and easy, I thought! Good work by the composer! Keep it up!
Loved it!! Tough one, took me some time to get them all.
I enjoy playing around with words and figures! Superb teaser. Keep up the fantastic work!
I LOVE lanuguage teasers!! I got 8/9; did not know the word paladin!
Thanks for the fun! Keep up the good work, pep!

It is great that you were able to make a teaser that made you think out of ordinary words (except for Paladin , but that was OK). Using the ordinary to make something challenging is the best. Excellent job.
wHOA, COULDN'T GET EM ALL , PALAADIN STUMPED ME, AND REVENUE(GOOD ONE). aNYWAY HAPPY HOLOWEENIE!
Very fun!
Wow Peppa, you outdid yourself with this one. Really creative. Got part of them but not all. You probalby did as much work on this one as we who tried to solve it. Great job.
This was amazing! I couldn't get it at all--maybe being tired after a really busy day had something to do with it. But after seeing the answers, I see a strategy I could have used. I'd like to see another like this.
I like doing the Jumble in the newspaper but find it way too easy. This is a nice twist since you don't know which in Group A to combine with those in Group B.
I would like to see more.

nice!
Wow, this was tougher than what it seemed on first glance. It took me several minutes to find even one that inserted into another -- but then it was WITCHING that got me started (*cackle!*)
A few others fell into place, and then more, and then ... all of them!! I had to look up "scathed" because I've only heared of "unscathed", and I wasn't so sure about "heighten" at first but then realized it was indeed a real word (unlike "weighten", which crossed my mind before the "witching" took over!)
Yippee!! This was fun because it was challenging but not impossible. Good job on creating it!!

NICE1!!!
Wow! That was a toughie. Very well done. Thanks ( I think)
Time consuming and fun.
Tricky and I LOVED it!! Thanks!
Not very easy but I had fun with it.
Didn't do too bad. It took some thought and that is what it is all about
getting our minds working.

Ha, I did Hitchen, and Weighting.
Not my cup of tea and I misunderstood the directions. It was refreshing though that I had not worked it in 2012 like I usually have, so thanks for that.
6/9 correct. Mistakenly rearranged letters in some like cat,pain-captain shed,tar-trashed. I was left with slight and lad, then my head exploded.
fairly easy, but if you actually followed the directions literally you would be done right after you figured out starlight!!
Got 'em all, but some of them were tough. "Scathed" is a rare sight without the "un" prefix.
This was really good! Every single one was difficult, but not to the point of annoying.
GREAT job!
GREAT job!
