DELETED!
Yay I got them all on this one as well! I LOVE these teasers!
Couldn't come up with farce! I knew I should have been able to get it, but I thought it was great!
Fun and entertaining teaser; I got them all fairly quickly.
Fun teaser! I had to use both parts of the clue to figure them out, so just challenging enough to be fun. I'm happy to see that this 10 year old teaser surfaced on the Daily list. I'm surprised that there were so few comments on a teaser from 2011. Glad it made my radar!
great teaser! never heard of a copse, like learning something new.
