VERY FUN, keep them coming
LOVE IT! Keep 'em coming!
Thank You everbody.One more is on the queue hope it is accepted.
Nice one! Fun and I enjoyed it!! Good job!
Very nice teaser, good job.
Nicely done, but just curious, why the "or insect"?

This was a little misleading, but quickly workable, thanks.
Congrats on making the teaser of the day! It's a great teaser, keep them coming!
Hehe, cool.
LOL, this was cool ^_^ Was the "or insect" to mislead us?
I Liked it. Fun..and required some thinking.
Hmmm... That was interesting... TOTALLY confused me, but, not everything's about me (at least mostly not everything) lol.... Like I said, I didn't get it... I didn't understand the directions really but that might be because I'm not as smart as I wish I was... *sigh* oh well, it was a gr8 teaser all the same!
As an inveterate cryptic crossword fan, I loved this teaser. Thanks. Give us more!
Thank you - this was fun and esy. I like anagrams.
good one i appreciated it keep em comin is right hell yeah
Well, it wasn't so easy for me, churchlady (smartypants), LOL!
I thought it was hard, good job, Thanks!
I thought it was hard, good job, Thanks!
um..... isn't an insect an animal too?
It was fun to try and figure it out. I don't really get anagrams.
I gave up pretty quickly. I agree with others...the "insect" reference was very misleading.
Good job though.
Good job though.
It given animal OR insect.So i did'nt feel it would be confusing.
Oops sorry for the gramatical error in the previous comment.
I also gave up too easily ... I guess I should have tried it when I wasn't in the middle of a Sudoku puzzle ...
That was good, keep it up!
great job...just the right degree of difficulty
Cool anagram, didn't get the last one though
What a nice job. Had to peek at first answer and then got the 4th, but tooo oooo oooo lazy I guess to get the other two. Had too many things going on this AM. Keep them coming tho, these are fun.
Like, doka13, I did not understand the directions. After seeing the solution I understood. An example would have been very helpful.
i got the first two easily in two seconds . the fourth took alittle longer . number thre tricked me because i thought maybe this was the insect . it wasn't! i gave up and looked at the answers . loved it !!!
I thought the directions were clear. I got all four, but it took me several minutes. For anagrams, I write all the letters in a circle. One of them I looked at it and looked at it and couldn't get it, then I did something else for a bit. Then as soon as I glanced at it again I got it! Great teaser, keep them coming!
That's the way I like them.
The only thing "lame" that has anything to do with this teaser is the comment that chupashuevos just made. How sad it is that you have to waste your time bashing others just because you haven't got enough sense to use your brain at least once a day.
I agree with KimKay People just need to just have fun with these games. anyway great teaser. I enjoyed it 2
Great Teaser The seperate words were misleading, but i figured it out Anyway, I agree with kimberlykay about that freak and his acronymns.
it was a lil bit wierd and oh yeah just to let everyone no im new to this and today is my b day
happy birthday special gurl !!!
chupashuevos can go suck an egg if he wants to but i think his comments were just silly to entertain himself . that's okay !

I liked the teaser
Feb 01, 2006
Great job. Kee up the good work, this is one of my favorite teasers.
couldn'tget #4 never would have got it. alas but it was fun. i liked it.
Good teaser. I thougth it interesting that armadillo can be rearranged to form two animals, mallard and io.
Of course I should spell thought correctly.
Interesting...
It's just cool. Fun working on it
ugh! i spent way too much time on this and then ended up thinking, "duh!" in the end! good teaser!
Way Easy!! Good job though!
THIS IS ONE OF THE FUNNEST ONE'S HERE.. WELL TO ME ANYWAYZ! GOOD JOB
I got three...and just an arm's length away from octopus...LOL...Very Good Teaser!
THE INSECT REFERENCE WAS FOR???????
Fun! Fun! Fun!
For some reason I found this teaser difficult. Maybe I didn't give myself enough time to study it, I don't know. Good job.
Great teaser.
fun but not quite my thing.
Loved it!This is goin on my faves.
lol, i looked at 4 and the picture of Ross in friends dressed as an armadillo on christmas eve came up ! (Thanks Ross ) Antelope was hard :-(
Good one! I didn't get any though. My brain doesn't work like that! Very fun. There was no insects though ?????? Oh well! Keep up the good work!!!
I love this kind of teaser. I couldn't get antelope. I just geve up too soon, I guess.
pretty good
message me!
message me!
hmmmmmm .... insect??? thats what threw me off... unless the octupus is an insect.... maybe you're confusing it with a spider, they both have 8 legs lol anyhoo---keep me coming - me likey....
Easy, but quite fun to work out! Keep up the terrific work! I know of quite a few youngsters, who enjoy solving these anagrams. Working crosswords daily make anagrams come easy to me. But, I am sure that Braingle will not turn down many anagram teasers from submitters....
This was fun and easy. Sometimes just writing the letters down in a different order helps.
Tricky but fun, got 'em all
I usually cruise through anagrams, but this one was tough for me. Good work.
I had a lot of fun working through this teaser! 1, 2, and 4 I got just by looking at them for a few moments, but 3 really had me struggling... I was writing the letters in a whole bunch of different orders, and never coming anywhere close! The fact that it starts with a vowel and then a consonant blend always seems to throw me off, but I'm learning! Anyways, it was when I wrote "soupoct" and finally saw the "oct" that everything came clear.
Gee, I really wanted to see what chupashuevos submitted that drew all the flak, but I can't find his/her comment anywhere.
Not sure why you needed to specify 'or insect' when they are also animals. It's no different than saying 'animal or mammal'.
Otherwise - fun teaser! Thanks!
Otherwise - fun teaser! Thanks!
Interesting and easy
Good one!
Very nice, I needed a pencil and paper, but with a little patience I got 3 of them.
why does everyone think octopus was hard, it was the only one i got?
I didn't get octopus. Great job!
Ooh, nice one! I, too, got all but octopus. My brain insisted on putting the S and C together, and I just couldn't shake it.
That was fun. I did not get the last one though.
I liked this teaser - I like anagrams. Thanks for posting.

sorry for duplicate!
Got them all fairly easily - when I do anagrams, I write all of the consonants on one line, and all of the vowels on a line below, then let my brain figure out how they go together! It usually works! Thanks for the nice teaser!
Good teaser! When I work on anagrams, I usually have them in a word processor where I can shuffle the letters around using drag-and-drop. It works for me.
I thought I got the first one right away, but my answer was aligator. I laughed when I saw the correct answer. Just too much in a hurry. Thanks for posting.
Nice fun teaser, going in my favourites, thanks for posting!
Even with a "Red-Herring" thrown in, not too difficult.
Maybe next time use: creature, for: animal or insect?

Fun, easy and entertaining teaser; I got them all very quickly. I just looked at the words and worked it all out using my brain and needed no outside assistance.
