Oh that was tough!
Sorry
I loved this teaser. Thank you.
For the third one I had 'night out' which seems to match all the criteria.

I also had "out".
Excellent
For four I had night in, since I already had night out. Oh, well.
Good one

How did I then not get Night Life
Night in and night out are correct

Another fun word teaser from jazzmusician! Thanks. This was just right on the difficulty scale for me.
I think I tried to make this one harder than it needed to be. lol For some reason I drew a blank about what "night person" meant, so I came up with a whole big long list of words you can make out of "persimmon." Finally I looked back at my list and thought, "night person"! That's it! This is especially funny because I actually am a night person.

Drum roll I got 3 out of 4 and feel brilliant If there is a #7, maybe I'll finally get them all Thanks, Jazz
NIGHT ACT also works for #3.
Three out of four, I loved it.
Yay! I liked it alot, I only missed number three. Great job!
Thanks for the great teaser, I got them all for a change. I was harder than I thought it was going to be. Thanks again.

Thanks guys
That was hard but fun
2/4 great teaser
Nice one.
Funny! I got night coat for # 3.
I got the first 2, the others were just a little bit too hard for me!
At least you had a go
Very nice teaser
Nice quiz, I got "night out" for #3 also.
Got them all but #3...thought it was night out. These are great teasers!
I got the first 3 pretty readily! Funny how I missed the last one at 12:30 in the morning!!
Not too fond of this one. I was not too sure what I was supposed to do until I looked at the answers.
Pretty easy, pretty fun. Liked the "Night Court" reference
I LOVE puzzles like this one- but I had so much trouble with it!
I guess I should be more awake!

Lol, I thought the "Nightcourt" one was
"Nightcat." Would that still be considered correct?
"Nightcat." Would that still be considered correct?
Now here it is 3 years later and I found it easy this time. The only thing is that for #! I got night flier. That is what they call a bat and it worked as well as the author's. It was fun for me this time and did not know I had done it before until I scrolled back up.
fun, easy...i had night out
Fun and entertaining teaser. I got three out of four. I also missed Night Court.
Gr8 fun teaser, thanks Jazz!
Also had: 'Out' for # 2., plus I had: 'In' for # 4?

Not as hard as the difficulty made me think, but still good one. Although I also had Night Out, which I think is acceptable.
Fun and entertaining teaser. It took a few minutes, but this time I got them all.
