Good job! Hard but fun! Good for the morning, y'know, to wake u up!
Nice one. had to rack my head a bit
Wow! Great job! I couldn't get it!
Simple concept, but makes for a good teaser, nice work.
Cnmne looks like my comment didn't take - I really enjoyed this teaser gr8 job.
Difficult but lots of fun!
I got too used to only changing the first letter, really had to use my noggin!! Excellent teaser!
I agree with all of the above. They have said it all. Thanks for posting.

Fun! Just hard enough to have to really think.
Great teaser , got all but #3 (can't believe I forgot its called "curd"). Question though, isn't curl an action, not a "thing"?
Great teaser. Didn't get them all which for me makes it fun
@zaya,
"Curl" is an action, but also a thing. You can have curls in your hair. Don't forget the girl with a curl in the middle of her forehead!

A fun and interesting teaser. Like others, I got some and missed some.
IT got 3 by figuring out curd first and working back from there.
Number 2 alluded me as, having worked as a pharmacy tech for many years, I would never have come up with potion for a mix of medicines.

I agree with avonma; an excellent teaser because you had to think a bit; nice job
I got the first and the last group. Completely zoned out in the middle. I either need a nap or more coffee.
I enjoyed this fun, entertaining and challenging teaser. I used the internet to look up synonyms for one of the words in each group and using that I was able to get all of the words for each group.
I got one from each group at least! Fun teaser!
Fun, challenging and entertaining teaser; took awhile but got them all.
Gr8 teaser; not too easy, and lots of fun, thanks!
