Fun and clever teaser. I'm looking foward to more as well, as i have enjoyed working on this one very much.
my BIRTHDAY is in 2 weeks!!!
O yeah nice teaser it was ok
O yeah nice teaser it was ok
it was kool. didnt get it at first but when i saw the answers i got the whole thing! stupid me.
Really like working on those ones.More please.
The instructions are confusing. It should say somewhere that it's a list of words to fill in, not that the first one goes with the first choice...
This was a fun one, although a little difficult for me at least Keep them coming
Tricky.
I didn't understand the instructions at first, but after I did I was able to get them all! Great teaser!
I really enjoyed this. Going in to my favorites!
I agree with most of the comments about the directions being confusing at first. But once figured out, the teaser was fun to work on. Thanks for posting.
I, too, didn't understand the instructions at first. It was fairly easy once I got the first one. Very fun teaser. Going into my faves.
Have to say that "allover" is actually two words, not one. Other than that, fun teaser!
That was awesome, tough, I liked it
Can someone please explain this to me? I simply cannot understand what "ache" has to do with "inferno"
Once I figured out what I was doing,they were pretty easy.
Great teaser, but yes, you had to first figure out the instruction. It should have said something like words are not in sequence. Find the word that matches in one column to go in the other column.
Well close to something like that. Enjoyed it once it became clear.

It took me a while, but I was determined to find them all - and I did. I like puzzles like this one - and glad I spent the time figuring out all of them. Thanks for a good one!
Puzzles of this type (which I liked very much) would be easier to work if the column II words could be "cut and pasted" into the column I blanks...and with the answers much further below to discourage "peeking."
I hope to more of these.

I did not look to see if I had worked this out before, but I had and only missed a couple this time, but again it was too many in one teaser and I became bored, but stayed with it until the bitter end.
Thanks doehead and habs for your kind wishes and doehead for the tremendous compliment. You are two cool people

Happy belated birthday Babe!
I worked out a few of these but now it's time to leave.

The instructions were totally unclear but once I knew what to do it was very good!
nice and easy; good way to kick off the day
This was my all time favorite teaser. I was determined to finish it and I did - I loved it. Thanks for a good one!
None of it made any sense with the dots connecting the words in column one to the letters in column 2. The list s should not have been connected. Also, it would have been helpful to state that the proper group of letters in column 2 should be inserted into the spaces in the words in column 1. I was in a rush (between laundry loads) and didn't realize what was supposed to be done until I scrolled down to the answers. It would have been easy had I known from the start what was expected. Thanks. Nice quiz.
Fun, enjoyable but rather long teaser; took a few minutes but got them all.
Just had to be methodical, picking a word and going down the list until it fit. I didn't know "ALLOVER" was just one word.
It took me a few minutes to figure out the instructions like most people, but once I did, I really liked this teaser. I put it in my favorites. Looking forward to more like this.
This is a good teaser. Making the list of words shorter (say five long) would have made the puzzle a bit too trivial. The longer list made it challenging, but at the same time made it a bit of a drudge to complete. Hard to find that perfect balance! Of course I had to go find all of the answers.
Thing I learned today: Allover is a word. Cool!
