Nice teaser!
sweet teaser
I just couldn't figure these out. Kinda hard for me.
Either I'm too smart or these teasers are getting too easy.
Caret? Really? Are we running out of words?
Good teaser. I found it difficult, but fun.Thanks for posting.
I did not get the instruction until after I read the answers It was good , I was just slow thinking this P.M.
For #1, lean and glean would also work.
I only got the first one. Then I gave up, too hard for me.
simple and fun
I got the first one and then was too impatient. I like this type of puzzle, so I should have worked on it when I had more time. Thanks!
This is a good one even thought I only got 1 & 3. I learned something on 4.
I did better this time and I took my time doing it. It was a toss up on easy and hard. Some were easy and others not so much, but all in all it was fun!!
Great puzzle. I got learn, vial, and caret directly, which lead to their matching words pretty easily. I had no ideas on #3. I eventually got to "slander", but couldn't find a matching slipper, but it lead to "sandal", which eventrually lead back to "scandal". Some people say too easy, some say too hard. That means it's just right!
If I'd ever heard the word "caret" before, I would've gotten them all.
Fun, challenging and entertaining teaser. It took awhile but I got them all.
