great job!
Tough one, but I got it the second time around.
A lot harder than it orginally looked. I've been saying that a lot lately but when I open the grid and see one like that, I tend to think "E-Z!" Not so on this one and with only 4 clues, it was solvable but not quickly!
I love the teasers with very few clues. This one was so simple, yet so complicated. Excellent job.
Congratulations! Absolutely the most difficult "small" grid puzzle I have ever done. Usually I don't do them, because they fall out on the first run through the clues. I had to go back and reread the clues many times. Keep them coming.
Great teaser! Short, but not overly simplified. Keep 'em coming!
Deceptively easy. Made a guess, messed everything up. Great though!
I think I thought about this one too much because I messed it up. A LOT.
This one had me "running around the track" quite a few times!!...LOL
Surprisingly harder than it looks. Good work!
This is by far the best small grid I've come across. I got it on the first line my second time through. Great job.
