hehe, i originally had "FORT_ _ _" as one of the options, but i guess the editors thought that this ancient programming language was too obscure.. =)
I did that, Bluetwo. I took it out because it is really an acronym, not a word, and most word games don't allow acronyms. Hope you don't mind too much. Now that I think about it, I probably should have just left it in. I'm sure you wouldn't have gotten many (or possibly any) complaints.
not a problem bob, i was just wondering why it wasn't included. i'm sure i was the only one missing it ;)
wha tis strand
"Strand" is like a strand of hair, or a strand of cotton etc.
"strand" can also mean to leave someone alone in a helpless or difficult situation (like, "i forgot to pick up susie and stranded her at the airport").
It was easy but a lot of fun!
Waaaaaaay too easy.
Thank you for the fun teaser. I got it right off and that made my day get off to a smiling start. I wasn't in shape for a tough one this morning. Hope you have a great day too. : )
One defination of crane is to stretch out one's neck. For example he craned his neck to see out the window.
I got it in less than 15 seconds. I got it within two seconds of thinking about
F _ _ _ T I C
F _ _ _ T I C
I enjoyed it. Plans to do more?
EZPZ.Took all of 5 seconds.
That was fun, a bit easy, but I liked it!
When I saw t___sit, I got it right away. The word just popped into my head, and the rest of them worked with ran. Very easy, but fun.

Maybe I'm just slow today, but where are you supposed to enter the answer? The only options it gives me are the "show hint" & "show answer". I know the answer, but don't see where to put it.
My second choice of letter combinations worked.
Fun and easy.
Fun and easy.
This one was G _ _ _ D.
Good one. It was easy enough, but it did take a little longer than most are saying. Everyone is so bright. At least that is what they imply!
hahah got it pretty fast .got the clue on transit
I got that one quickly, too - good way for me to start my day!
don't know what it was about transit, but that helped me, too! it's always fun to get it quickly-helps balance the ones I don't get! thank you!
"F _ _ _ TIC" really helped me.
Yeah, a programming language wouldn't work for me, either, even though I've heard of it; it's not a real word.

agree w waayyy easy second and 4th JUMPED out as transit and frantic. But, I prefer to think of this as a BRILLIANT puzzle aced my REALLY brilliant persons.. LOL
OBTW am not sure if this already sais but Strand is also a length of beach.
I got it but I didn't find it as simple as it's rated. The first word is somewhat uncommon imo
It was easy and fun. thanks
EZ
During the 5 seconds it took for me to solve (note my "handle"), I greatly enjoyed it. It was transit that jumped out and gave me the rest of them.
Same as wordmama

Fun, easy and entertaining teaser. I got it very quickly.
