I got all but the last one too...i forgot about the AD...i liked it though
EEEE ZEEEE ... but that's OK, it's past bedtime and i didn't need a poser. Thanks
Got all within a few seconds! (Crossword solving helps here!)
This was really fun!!
Waaaay easy. The last one gave me a few seconds of thought, but the rest were no problem. Thanks for posting.
Perfect teaser for a Monday morning. Nice and e-z. Thanks for a good start to the week
I have to admit, I didn't get it. I was a little confused as to what you wanted me to do. Oh well, maybe next time.
Much to easy.but probably good if you are under 12 years old.
Very easy, but I liked it.
I'm w-a-a-y over 12 years old, but I enjoyed it! Yes, it was easy. I didn't even have to use paper and pencil--but it made me feel great to start the day off with such fun and success, too! Thanks for a fun teaser!

Easy but that's ok cuz it was a lot of fun!! cant say that about all of em tho.
My favorite type of puzzle - thanks!
Cute and easy.
Yes, it was confusing as to what it was we were supposed to do, but once I figured it out the answers were easy, except "chide" I did not get that one. If I had used paper and pencil and marked off the used ones, then I probably would have gotten it, but did them in my head. Oh well it was fun!!
I liked that one too... 🤗🤗🤗 the last one was really hard but still was fun and interesting
The puzzle was fine, though its title is a bit of a misnomer. The words were split in two or three parts, but the parts of some of those words are not how the syllables are sectioned. For example, typist is the two syllables ti + pist, though its hyphenation is typ + ist.

The word you are struggling for is, I think, "morpheme".
But that's getting a bit picky, don't you think?. This isn't advanced "language 400", so let's just say the Teaser is a righteous one, fun to solve, and clearly everyone figured out what to do without having to deal with syllabification, phonemetics, or other grisly demons.

One of my favorites! Fun to do. Thanks for posting!
Didn't even have to write it down! That was a good one!
Easy teasy. It would have been trivial, but I did have to identify the three unused syllables to get the last one. That made it somewhat interesting.
I'll comment on ease, although generally I don't complain about it. But this one... come on now. More challenging teasers should be chosen for the daily ones, especially since they return year after year. I'm sure we have more than 365 teasers that rate more challenging than 1.08!
3 years later, no other comments, rating the same. Methinks subscription rates are down!
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser. I got all of the words very quickly and did not even have to write it down.
