very good teaser
good one
Got me stupmed, i like it.
Wow tough one. would an example have helped?
I agree with builder, an example (or even a hint) would have helped. It seems really tough till you see the answers. But then it's too late.
Totally lost me, but thanks for posting.
Clueless!!!
I found the instructions confusing. Read them 2 or 3 times and thought they meant each sentence was a "set" of three words that were anagrams. That is, the answer to each sentence would be a three word saying. Oh, well.
im ashamed of myself, i didnt get any!
Ouch! I didn't get one! Good teaser!
NICE!!!
hard. an example would have helped a lot. i didn't understand the instructions. so i just read the answers.
Wow--this was a good one! I love language teasers and am usually good at anagrams, but I gave up too soon! The only word I thought of was "later" It must take a lot of thinking to come up with three anagrams and then make a sentence out of their meanings that actually makes sense. Good job!
Great teaser - loved it but gave up too soon after finding three. Any more like this? An example would have helped - it took a while to realise what was required.
first 3 were easy, last one was tough
first 3 were easy, last one was tough
I found the first 3 quite easy, but number 4?
Funny thing is I did get bales, but blase & sable were a bridge too far, I'm afraid?
It was fun though, thanks!
