Good teaser. You fooled me. I was looking for an answer in Shakespear or something like that.
I was looking for words hidden in every word e.g. vermon in Vermont, statue in Statuesque (if you call that "hidden,") dish in swedish, art in Arthur's, and under and stood in Misunderstood. Your teaser is that much more "invinsible" because words cannot be found in Africa and Sensation. Good teaser!
pretty difficult, got me on that one.
EXCELLENT
I would have been lost without the hint but, it was clever and made it easier. Great job!
Good Job, Nice Teaser
That was a very week brainteaser
Clever

Ok, HarryPutter deserves a nice, big from everyone!!!
Really great teaser, very well done!
Really great teaser, very well done!
That is, a nice big GROAN (I put it in brackets the first time)
Title and clue gave it away.
Really good teaser. And, the clue didn't give it away to me. I still didn't figure it out. Clever, well thought out. Thanks for posting.
very clever teaser... i needed the hint to solve it, and it still took me a minute to do so
lol great teaaser.
i couldnt get it :/
i couldnt get it :/
brilliant!
I was totally befuddled. Great teaser, very clever. Thanks
I would have been able to figure it out in another 2 minutes; I thought it had something to do with the days. Why didn't I look inside the words???
Good one!
Good one!
I like it a lot I got it extremely fast though (because of the name). I love puns so it was up my alley. keep em coming
Good teaser - I wish I would have paid more attention to the title!
Happy Day to AS and DH!
Happy Day to AS and DH!
Although this was another repeat, it was still hard for most people. But the only and original DOEHEAD conquered it again. A to Mi & Ct.
I thought it was so simple, until I read the answer I had guessed that they all had to do with 'states', not just governed entities, but various conditions, and assumed this was a short list. (a country can be considered a state, being still, belonging to someone, etc.) Guess my mental state is a bit weak today!
That wasn't a teaser it was more of an assault.
Best I could come up with was that they were all English words. But I knew my answer was weak.
Kudos to the magnificent doehead. I didn't get it this time, but it was still good.
was puzzled at first...then a look at the title and a minute of staring..and hurrah... i had the answer
The title gave it away without the clue, but still took a few guesses. Nice one
that was odd........ kidding
One first reading, I didn't get it but then went to check the title and category, after that it only took a second or two to solve.
KUDOS to all the Brainias,. More Kudos to the honest Brainglers.
The answer came to me at Arthur's, I noticed the wed in the above and then it all fell into place. Good thing I had remembered the clue of course, which had struck me as kind of strange. I thought this was a great teaser!
That was a really fun teaser. I wish I had checked out the hint before seeing the answer! But when you click on the link from the daily email, it just brings you straight to the answer. Oh well! Good teaser!
I'm with coolnana here. The title and the "'s" in Arthur's led me to the answer pretty quickly. There is so much originality in some of these teasers. I like that people keep looking for new ways to entertain us.
Fun and entertaining teaser; I got this one very quickly after noticing an abbreviation of a day of the week inside the first word.
This was very cleverly thought out. Nice.
