um, I thought it was hard
guess I'm the only one.
guess I'm the only one.
Very creative teaser. I enjoyed it and I love Halloween!
don't worry darth, your not the only one who didn't get it.
Missed the "h"
Good one!
Good one!
i missed the H AND the A!!!
i did not get the "H" either. this is kinda like something out of a book (A series of unfortunate events; forgot which book out of the series) (i think the third) NE WAY, this was pretty good
I got it!!! It was kinda hard though.
pretty easy, but i thought the number would be 13, sort of a bad luck kinda number
I missed it. okay teaser though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
um,.. i kinda missed ALL the letterz!! lol
i got it, but my australian brain wanted to change your "analyze" to "analyse"
I loved it! There is a similar one in the movie Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortuante Events. But since most ppl, I'm assuming, are adults on this website, you wouldn't have seen the movie. lol unless you have kids or something.........
Yes! That's where I got the inspiration for this teaser.
The "H" was hiding. It was a tricky brain teaser!
got it got it na na na na na na na
after reading the answer that is
i got it , i thought it was ezy-sorry!! ! nice one!!
easy to find mistkes but i thought number was 13 as in friday the 13th. i guess i am an anagram genius.
VERY CLEVER!
Great! Thought I had it at first, but made it harder on myself and tried something different. Should have gone with my first instinct on this one.......
Sacré Vue?
Hey, I'm an adult with no kids and I love Lemony Snickets. And Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. And so many others. Kids films (and books) are MADE by adults after all, so they're a perfectly valid form of adult entertainment. Frankly, I think they're generally better and cleverer than so-called adult films. But I'm getting off the point. VERY CLEVER TEASER. It's nice to have one occasionally that I can solve. Well done.
I loved it, finally one I figured out right away
I got it pretty much straight away. easy but very enjoyable. I loved Lemony Snickett, and I'm 31 with no kids. :lol
OK see msot peolpe olny look at the frist and lsat leettrs of wrods if you are raednig it fsat eougnh you will not catch tihs unitl you re-raed this entrie exmpale.
i got this in a chain e-mail once. The reason you missed the H and it was hard for most people is because ur brain only looks at the first and last letter of a word. so in this example above u should be able to read it but see the errors in it as u look back

kool kool kool!!! i got it!!! hehe!
its ok!
I thought it was fun! It didn't take me too long once I wrote the letters down as I was reading them
That was just GREAT!
hey, that was fun! I can't believe I finally got one. Loved your info EVOLNI - very kool.
Lots a fun! However I was unsure if you wanted the number 31 (date) or 13 (unluciky, number in a coven, etc.) Thanks!!
Yes, and no, Evolni. Your brain wouldn't mistake the words "patle" (plate) and "pnohe" (phone) in context because it does, in fact, recognize the middle letters -- it just doesn't need them to quickly interpret the meaning of the word given the context of the sentence. I contend that those who missed the H in "frigtened" just can't spell, or are at least slightly below average at pattern recognition. These are the same people who spell the contraction for "you are" as "your." (See examples above...)
Great teaser! Like others, I thought the number would be 13, but it was still fun!
got it Huzzah! But, like someone above, I guessed 13 as the number Good teaser

This is my 1st time voting and commenting. I thought it was pretty easy but I thought of 2#'s, 13 & 31, 13 being for bad luck. Fun Teaser.
That was really cool! I got it after re-reading it
I think I saw something similar to this is an chain-email with the subject -"typoglycemic"

Very good teaser. I missed the "h" & "a"
Good Teaser, fun and easy! GMoney is right, you have to know HOW to spell to get the answer right!! A lot of people don't...
I am in the group that thought of unlucky 13 as the number.
This was a cute and refreshing type of teaser. Good job!

When was the last time you were "frigtened"? Didn't that word just jump off the page at you as WRONG?
hey i loved it! great teaser! i didn't get every single letter but i figured it out. i didn't know if it was suposed to be 13 or 31, but i guess it doesnt really matter theyre pretty similar... it was really easy but still fun and needed some involvment so i liked it a lot. and i actuually got it!!! congratulate me! i like never get them!
Fast and Fun. Liked it.

i was a little unsure of the 31, but i still got it right

Cute! Had no problem with the word, but like some others here, I got the number backwards. Oh well, I guess I'm just a backward kinda gal...
HA... HA....HA...LOWEEN ONE MORE PLS
what a great teaser. I got 13 too. I missed the tricky H though!! Managed to get it in the end. Nice one.
OH yeah!! I got it!
Wonderful!!! Finally one that I could get; got it first time, number & all. Glad to see that some thought it was hard; that makes me feel even better, as I thought it was real easy. Thanx, Jim
Whoa...that was difficult- and I didn't even figure it out! (impatient me!)
I love Halloween, so I very much enjoyed the teaser. Many thanks.
I dont like halloween not celebrated here either (Thank God) But i Njoyd d hunt
good teaser and original! i thought the number would be 13, because it's an unlucky number...guess I was thinking backwards!
Easy, but I liked it!
i thought it was hard.
Good one. I enjoyed it
Oops! I thought the number would be thirteen! Damn...
no trick to this teaser
all treat
all treat
fun!
VG! I'm not a kid, except at heart, so I have seen Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortuante Events.
Easy, fun!
Very clever and very fun. I got it though! :-)
Another winner!
Even with mistakes ...I got it. Lotsa' fun.
Easy teaser, but fun. For those of you debating whether you read every letter in a word EVOLINI & GMoney) try this (taken from a text book on risk management):
"Wve'e hraed taht it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht frist and lsat ltteer is at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mess and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by itslef but the wrod as a wlohe."

I kin spel gud sew I injoyd it
Ditto whatever HScott13 said. I got all the letters, just didn't understand what to do with them. Must be I'm not awake yet this morning.
Easy but fun.
...and me an old speling bee gal...Good one. Lots of fun.
so so easy but so much fun
I thought this riddle was ok... But the number I guessed was 7. I've never heard of 31 being a good luck... Oh well, anyway, it was ok.
Easy, got it after the second l
Good one. Took a few minutes to find all the letters, but thats the fun of it. I also thought 13 at first(unlucky # associated w/ Halloween), but had a good guess it was either 13 or 31.
Very Clever! But, I did catch ALL of your tricks, .... this time! Keep attempting to get yet another twist added. I enjoyed it! WTG
Good teaser, but subject might limited to the good old USA. They don't T&T in Tianjing. But still a lot of to work out.
Good teaser, but subject might limited to the good old USA. They don't T&T in Tianjing. But still a lot of fun to work out. Sorry.
One thing I have noticed on this site, the comments are often stranger than the teaser. In China they must say "Tlick ol Tleat".
At first I thought you genuinely made mistakes, but there IS a method to your madness! Good work. Y'know, this reminds me of The Wide Window, #3 of Lemony Snicket's books.
Fun teaser, especially since we're coming up on Halloween!
I had no problem finding the letters, but I, like many others, thought of the number 13 for the actual number.

HAHAHA.. I got this one.. The 13 or 31 number fixation is interesting, as they are the same numbers, on ly switched! Happy Halloween!
I guess I know how to spell---I caught the errors easily enough ,but guess I know nothing about numbers and their meanings ---thought this was 6 0r666
I caught on quickly and about half way through realized what was being spelled. Naturally, 31 came to mind, Halloween being on the 31st. This one was fun and a great way to start the morning!
Nice job Spookboy - right close to the T or T season. Easy, but fun.
Fun concept, but needs to be more challenging. Maybe make the letters you find a word jumble, use some harder words to find misspellings in, something like that.
nice!
nice!
I got it, great teaser!
you have to read through the first paragraph! im suprised how many missed the H and the A was a good teaser though....a bit boring, and not really orginial....duesnt matter....was fun!
cute
WooHoo! Got it in one!!
Cute thx for the gfun
Cute thx for the gfun
wow, i liked this teaser a lot, mostly because i actually got it on my first try. i didnt miss the h or the a in the beginning, and thought this teaset was pretty easy, surprisingly. thanks so much for submitting it, it made me feel all warm and fuzzy to get one right for once.. after getting 'halloween,' however, i also thought of two numbers-13 and 31. both are valid answers, dont you think? anywayz, thanks again for a great teaser and keep 'em comin!
~f~
~f~
Very clever, I got it right away but I thought the number would be 13!
Thanks for the brain workout.
I got it except for the 31. Duh!!
Why couldn't I think of that.
i just.......
don't get it....
*sigh* =/

awesome teaser!

First off, it's not 13, it's 31. I know because I wrote it. Next, how is 13 associated with Halloween?
Oh wait...I misread some comments...X that last post.
this an other one, where i could'nt get the question because i don't understand the answervery good young man very good. and elementary my dear watson the cat sneezes at noon.
*thumbs up!*
I enjoyed this before I realized it would lead to one of my favourite special occasions in the year. Yayy Halloween!! And thanks for the reminder that I've gotta get my butt in gear for deciding on a costume. I

WE DON'T SAY "Tlick ol Tleat" IN CHINA.
I thought it was too easy... but I got it wrong. I got the digits right, but they were in the wrong order. I thought the number associated with Halloween was 13!
Liked it! Just hard enough for my easily distracted mind to jet! I rreally liked this taaaser! Grea jobe nd keeps eit upr!
(...Yeah, I'm sure you get it.)

Very fun! Even though I missed the missing "h" in frighten I still figured it out. Thanks for posting!
VERY NICE!
Creative! And although this probably for the sake of a decent teaser, but why would I be frightened?
This was the easiest one yet, and not only that, but it was fun to do.
I like easy!

I love Halloween and the puzzle was fun!!
got all the spellings and thought it had something to do with halloween but didn't get it at all.
thought it was fun and clever too.

Am I the only that found "i" as a letter because;
- It says; "First, find al of the missing, repeated, or incorrect letters."
- then it says; "look at the wword that is represinted."
represented is written as such, so I counted the missing letter "e" and the incorrect letter "i".
Am I wrong for think that THAT was what supposed to be clarified in the hint?

Got it, except my number was 13
Great teaser. I REALLLYYY enjoyed solving it. I felt like Klaus from a Series of Unfortunate Events
This was easy and fun. I love Halloween1
Solved it in about 30 secs!
However, we don't recognise Halloween, and some of your misspells may vary from country to country.
Also, what about the incorrect letters you mentioned?
Didn't know whether to add them as well initially; so confusing!

I loved it. Thanks, spookyboy0.
I see why there would be issues with culture-specific teasers. Maybe an addendum by the editor, when relevant?
Happy Halloween!

Cute. Topical and seasonal. Because I read so slowly, the misspellings jumped out at me. It was easy, but fun.
Fun and entertaining teaser. I got Halloween easily but I too thought the number was unlucky 13. Enjoyed the teaser.
