Very fun but not all too easy. I missed OpinION and COwarD. I could not for the life of me remember what the lion with no courage was always called in Wizard of Oz.
Anyways, great teaser. Keep up the great work.

That was a fun one! Keep 'em coming!
I am still a bit confused on some of the answers.
OHHH!! The letters that are lower case are the answers. That makes more sense.
Very good one, I had a little trouble with opinion, had the pin, but couldn't got the rest. All in all, a very satisfying quiz. Thanks, and could we have more, please.
I really liked it! Missed #4 though.
I agree with lmurray;
EASY,EASY,EASY
EASY,EASY,EASY
for #1 i put "sleep"ing and #2 i put af"raid". until I looked at the hint and saw they were all 3 letter words.
Things were a little murky at first but I tried reading the instructions again and the light came on! Fun teaser!
I truely enjoyed that one. My brain is smoking but I got it.
Thanks for the post
Monday~

I missed OpinION and wish I would have spent a few more minutes trying to figure it out!

Another easy rerun.
Fun & easy!! No hints! (my first time seeing it, doehead....let the rest of us enjoy!)
Didn't' get laddER Good teaser!
INtellECTUAL fun.. thanks
The instructions were not very clear, but once I figured them out it became easy and I got all but #4. I liked the teaser though!
This was fun - I enjoyed this puzzle and hope there are more like it. Thanks!
Though it was easy, this one was a lot of fun to do. I had a moment of uncertainty with opinion/pin as I hadn't read the hint (rarely do until after I've solved the puzzle). I had thought it was cameo but couldn't make that work. I did eventually arrive at pin, but not as quickly as I would have liked
4 out of 5. Not a bad start to my morning.
Easy way to start the day.
nice, just a little too easy
Well written, clever format, however 2 ez 4 me I'm afraid!
Easy teasy. Creative idea. The clues were very direct making the solutions either obvious or straightforward. I enjoyed going through it.
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser; I breezed right thru this teaser and got all of these correct very quickly.
Just a tip maybe write the instructions a little clearer next time but super duper awesome teaser!!!
