Got 7 of them, good one !
Nice!
thx
If there's anything that makes me really happy it's one I can't get and really need to work at. Thanks
ok then
Very clever, i had fun working on this one and, got a pretty big part of it on my own. Great teaser!
I only missed 2 and 4. It was pretty sweet.
Nice one,gets you to thinking.
This was an enjoyable teaser.... I got 2, 6, 7, and 9 right away....I couldn't decide between under or half for #5, .....I chose under .
Great one, keep these coming, gives my brain a workout
Absolutly Brilliant!!! Keep them coming.
These are the one's I like..
I got em all!!! 4 & 9 took a minute,
I wasn't sure about longbow and
fire sale......but they were right.
Thank You, I needed to complete
something! lol

WOW! This must have been very time consuming to create! Wow! I could tell, at least I think, that you looked through the dictionary for words that worked, but to find all those words that all took the same four letter prefix, wow! I GOT THEM ALL, YEA!!!!! But I had a hard time with 4 and 8, cause longhorn and longbow are so, um, antique, and something about 8, each so different. Love it when it's hard but I finally get them all, thanks! (I added evil here because he doesn't get used much, and it's all good)
Loved this, had trouble with 7, but figured it out Great job!
i thot u meant true prefixes, like with- or greg- or sol-, not just another four letter word
This was a fun one. I like these teasers.
I gat all but number 3. I was proud of myself. Next time put a time limit om it, make it double the fun.
Once I got the hang of how it worked, most of them were easy to figure out. I was stumped by #1 and #4 for a minute , but then they came to me. I enjoy these types of teasers. Great job!
LOVED THIS ONE....you did a great job coming up with this! Thanks for your hard work on this teaser. It was Cool
I liked it! Found it quite easy..but that's a nice change for me. Good work!
These kinda teasers are always kinda hard for me. Good job makin it tho.
Very nice! I had trouble with No. 3, but got it eventually.
come now - this was cake
Great one!! I got them all, but they seem vaguely familiar Anyway, keep up the great work and I will go have deja vu somewhere else!
Yeah, the term "prefix" in the directions threw me off, too, but once I saw the first answer, I went back to also think about adding 4-letter words to create compound words. Some of them were VERY tough. GOOD WORK!
What is a fire sale?????
Is hang ten a word? I don't think so.
I liked it sftballrocks cute entertaining , and yes if you are a sufer Hang ten is a word. I agree with sftball, if Your not a Sufer your loose, sorry. CUTE, CUTE, CUTE!
Excellent!!! Got all but 2 and 4 once I saw the answer I put dunce cap on
I really liked this one. I didn't get #4. Fun teaser! Good job!
got 4 out of 5 woohoo
A fire sale is technically a sale after a fire when you sell whatever is not totally burnt up, but it's used to mean , you know, like, low, low, low prices, etc. The header said it could be a word or PHRASE that was formed, and I agree, maybe the ONLY improvement could have been to say something besides prefix, or something in addition to prefix.
Peace

Interestingly enough, the first 5
word groups that I was able to
solve, all had 4-letter words that
started with the letter "H". After that I started to get stumped.
Good one!

Good one. I only missed #4. Don't know how it got by me.
Fun one this morning! Didn't understand "high print" for number 8, but got it based on the others on the line. Thanks for submittting.
Took me a while, but it was fun.
EASY AND AMUSING.
THERE IS NO "HIGH" PRINT, JUST DYSLEXIA.

Good mind starter. I didn't get them all, but it sure worked my brain. Thanks for the great teaser.
A very entertaining teaser, this morning! It filled in quick, but ...... maybe for once, I was thinking sharply! Keep up the work!
I liked that one alot! Keep up the good work!
Good one!
Didn't get #4 or #9. Also I had hand for #8(close)...It seemed to work as well as foot. Good tease!
Yup, just my lexiadys flaring up again! Thanks for the diagnosis Dr. Murray.
Thx This was very enjoyable. I had to kickstart my brain this morning and look at the 1st answer but most of the rest were easyenough. Keep these coming.
Good brain starter! I surprised myself and got them all right! Ha! Thanks for the fun.
Awesome
got all but the last two....good fun!
I didn't get 1,4, or 8, but it was still fun!
this was fun!! i was actually getting some of the answers!! thanks!!
nice!
Not too hard, but fun to do. Good one!
Gave up on the last one.
Had the next to last one then forgot it when I went back.
Nice one.

I, too, missed #4, but I really enjoyed figuring out the others.
Gpt all but three. Nice job on this teaser. More please
got most, lotsa fun
6/9 ... shoulda got long, foot shoulda been easy too, but I don't think I would've gotten fire... just because of fire sale (although dictionary.com knows that one).
I just tickled my brain until it could take no more tickling, and then I gave up and wanted to see the answer. I've got 28 more teaser emails before I catch up to today's Teaser of the Day....

For some reason, my brain wouldn't come up with the last one. Got the rest though. Guess I should feel good about that. Only took a few minutes too for 1-8
fun
These were great.Best teaser ever. Took me awhile . Enjoyed this one. Now, doesn't that sound like 90% of all the answers. Give me a break!!!
That was fun! Well done!
Craw back under your rock Doe

Very very good, I missed two 4 & 6.
Had fun figuring them out!

I liked this one a lot!! Thanks! I had different answers for 3 of them and, of course, they were poor substitutes!
Bravo to the teaser originators!!

Missed #8. Do not believe HIGHPRINT is a word.
#8 was FOOT, person above me. Very well done! I didn't get a lot of them though.
I didn't really get it until I took a little time to think about it and then I thought I got it but I only got some
glad to have had a little mental workout this morning! I didn't get #4, but happy to get the rest-also annoyed at myself for not getting that one! more, please!
Nice. Great job bro. DFTVA! (Don't forget to vote America!)
thought it was a great teaser. had so much fun with it didn't get them all but
it was so much fun. missed 4 n 8 thanks for posting loved it.
it was so much fun. missed 4 n 8 thanks for posting loved it.
nicely done
I really enjoyed this one - only got 5 of them, but didn't want to take time to think right now. I should have waited and come back to them later. Oh well. Maybe you will publish another like this? Good one!
good puzzle, very well done. I didn't get them all this time - I am too impatient today!
Great one! Only got 6 (boo, me)
All reasonable, tough, but fun.

I've apparently done this here before, but still missed #4
Superlative. I eventually got all of them, but I put effort and time into it. I think everyone would find a large number of these obvious, and a few very hard. The fun is, that list would be different for every person. So very well done.
This is going on my favorites list.

Fun, easy and entertaining teaser; enjoyed working this teaser though it did not take very long to get all of these. Took a few minutes to get #9 but breezed through the rest.
Congrats on a: a nice, not 2 ezy, well constructed, fun teaser, thanks!
Took some thought, but I solved them all.
