A bit too obvious.
Good one! I was looking for a pattern of somesort :S
Wouldn't have guessed that, until I saw the answer.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
WOW!!! thats like totally kool dude!!!!!!!! oooooooieeee!!!!

Oh my gosh!!! I actually got it!!!!! that's like the first time in my life I've ever understood one of these brain teasers...I love myself...I'm happy... (sorry I got a little carried away)
Loved it! Very fun and I am very impressed with myself how quickly I got it ;o) Maybe that's why I thought it was fun ... muahahahahaha.
i've seen this one before except the word 'must' was written horizontally between the words 'what' and "comes" written vertically
Wow really clever! I thought it woz just 'come what must' or 'what must come' - but I did think that woz a bit strange and there must be more to it! Well done though, nice one!
That was cute, and I can actually remember it so I can show off. thanks
Very Nice One. I got it Thanx For The Easy, But Good Teaser
Cool...I'm embarrased I didn't get it!
Lovely teaser.
It may have been easy but it was very creative and fun.
I agree 100% with froggy
Launguage games are my favorite!

Lovin' it! Nice one!
Actually EACSFO, that would be "what up, must down" and technically, what the teaser says is EITHER "what up, must come down" or "what GOES UP, must come GOES DOWN". So, wouldn't the most accurate version of the teaser be:
TSMC
AEUO
HOSM
WGTE
Either way, I still liked this one.

cute
very easy but very fun! good job!
a goodie
lol I got this one right off the bat... nice and easy
I got another one, Hurrah for me! Usually am not too good at these but I got it. I agree tho, what does T M C stand for?
Great! In retrospect it seems blindingly obvious (the solution being an incredibly common phrase), and although I was more or less on the right track I couldn't quite get it. (I didn't want to spend too much time on it, because I was afraid it might turn out to be stupid and unsatisfying -- the fact that the quality of these things varies so wildly from day to day is the most frustrating aspect of this site.)
To me TCM is The Movie Channel which has no bearing on this good thinker.
Cute one Ray. I liked it.
Very easy!
I like the rebuses best of all. This one was a classic.
I finally got one without any trouble.Good teaser.
Too easy. I got it too quickly to even be entertaining enough (for me) to be called a teaser. Well, no brain strain today! [*sigh!*]
Very easy (for a change) and fun. That was a good one
that was good!! lol
Must be an old puzzle as the first reply was 0402, but still fun
That was great! Very clever and fun. It took me a few minutes, but I got it.
I love rebuses and riddles... they are so easy
I must need more practice with rubics... I need practice...
did i say i might need more practice?
it was clever though...

o, and by the way, I meant rebus...
Very easy, but still I liked it. Nice job
Great one! Fun too!
Just curious-- why eliminate "GOES" in the up but add "COME" in the down?

I thought it was good, however, I did not get it until I looked at the answer. Nice one.
Ienjoy these kind of rebuses the most. Thanks.
Three cheers for me!! I got it and I loved it. Great teaser! I said it once,I'll say it again. Love these kind of teasers.
So fun!
Did not get it ,but had fun trying
Hmm, I got it when I saw the answer. I thought it had something to do with thaw and spring... I liked it!
I got it! woohoo! i loved it... going into my favs.
thanks!!!
thanks!!!
Finally someone puts a good teaser on. Kudos.
AAHHH! I got it, good one! At first I thought each letter in a horizontal line represented the first letter of a three word phrase, each line being a separate phrase... which totally stumped me. Then I thought all the letters of a phrase were scrambled, I was thinking it was something with "costume wear" but that didn't seem to be right. Finally I realized it was a REBUS and it clicked!!
Again, Great Job!!
Again, Great Job!!
Very easy, but very clever!
I don't think you needed the COME.
I read the words "what" "must" and "come", but i couldn't ficgure out what those meant.
I agree the COME wasn't needed, may have made it more difficult infact. Still a great teaser.. probably me favorite style
THAT WAS A REALLY GOOD ONE! i didnt get it...but after i saw the answer it made total sense! GOOD JOB!
Good and easy.
Excellent! However, I do agree that you don't need the "COME."
Nice one even though it confused me for a second
Mornin' all!
I thought it was 'a preview of what must come'.
Oh well, thanks for the mental wake-up!
Have a happy day!!!!!

Remove the cobwebs,get out the dust cloth,we're featuring another historic repeat.
A clever teaser, even though it is a little bit easier than some of the rest. A good job, Braingle! Keep up the good work!
Here is an *off of the wall* comment for doehead.... if you have voted ONLY 44 times, why are these repeats for you? I can see you have gone through the teasers and have seem the dates on many of them, but why the nasty comments to Braingle?
very cute!

I loved this one! Clever and fun! and you people with all the complaints --
Have a great day!!
Have a great day!!
Very cute, took me a minute, but only a minute. I like this kind of teaser because it doesn't make my brain sweat.
Easy but still fun
this is the first brain teaser ive ever figured out and ive been a member for a long time.
a note to PIZZAZZ2U .I have been on these for 2 years ,but just started to vote recently because I got tired of repeats.So why don't you go curl up and go to sleep as that would shut up you nasty remarks.
i dont get it
i dont get it either. im only seeing "what must come". how does that say what goes up must come down? there isnt even a G.
a note to the person above me:
the word WHAT is written from bottom to top, meaning that it is "going up" and MUST COME is written downward, so WHAT goes up, and MUST COME is down
get it?
good one, to whoever created this

Thanks Raneeday. Fun! I got come down but didn'it think to read what from bottom up. Very common phrase 4 me. Gnosys.... isn't Variety the Spice of Life? I enjoy them all being different, my opinion only. I blew another one but had to think & that's what I want with my morning tea. Cheers

I thought it had to do with Spring & Thaw also, but come down didn't make sense. Maybe because it's a weird spring in TO & it's a rainy Saturday.
Great minds think alike

Very fun!!
Pretty easy, but I had loads of fun solving. Nice one!
to be honest; can you solve this one, I'm eating a burger and think, no. it was fun once i saw the answer maybe just needed a bit more time.
I was proud that I solved it until I saw that I had already read it 2 years ago
Still a good teaser!

I enjoyed your teaser - it took me longer than it should have, but I was making it more difficult than it was. For me, "TMC" was "too much concentration!" Thanks.
Ok, im a little embarrassed about this one--the SECOND time i read the teaser, i still didnt get it!! And on top of it all i had to scroll through the entire list of comments to find out if id already left one!
That aside, fantastic teaser!

good one
Boy is my face red!
I didn't even get any of the words, let alone piece together the phrase. It even took me a long while to figure out AFTER I saw the answer. I am not very awake today, which is understandable because I was on a Red Eye flight last night and got back at 5 and couldnt sleep a wink on the plane and am now experiencing jet lag.
Sorry, enough excuses, great teaser!

Whoaaaa --- a rebus I could actually get! Today must be my lucky day~!

Smart teaser

Wow! I love it
This was a good one and it was very easy for me. I love phrases sand quotations! But what I like best is reading the comments! We have some very exciteable people out there! Sis, be safe! and KiPA HUG!
AROB. This one has been around so long that it has grandchildren. GiMi
Mr Doehead, you never fail to make me laugh!!
Always hate missing the obviuos
I rarely get rebuses, but this one was super easy, which I don't mind at all!
Doehead, I don't usually love your negative comments, but this grandchildren one was really cute!! btw, are you able to share with me what AROB means? And will you? (the distinction is a long, personal story....)

Easy; LOVE IT!
Another repeat on Braingle?
I do not care how long it has been around!! It is new to me and I figured it out which makes me smile. I do not often do that, but ...
Solved, moving on.
Fun! I had to look at the answer for the exact wording though.
Tricky
After finding the teaser easy, I read the comments and must agree that it is AROB.
I love this one. And who cares if it a repeat. When you get to my age, you'll forget you ever saw it before!
I still find it fun, the second time for me, and this time it was easy, even though I did not know I had done it before. Nice one!
This teaser, when first introduced, got 13 (THIRTEEN) responses the first day.
New teasers, currently, get (mostly) no more than one or two responses the first day. Over half get none at all.
Sad. Very sad. Braingle is dying and nobody seems to care.
Please look at the newest teasers each day and vote. Also make comments. That's what keeps us alive.
And don't forget. We told you so !!!
