Clever, fun and challenging! Thanks for posting!!
the whole idea for me is to make my brain work differently from its usual thoughts-this did it! thanks!
Loved it. Missed the first one but I thought it was a great quiz. Thanks
I did not find it easy at all. It took me A while to figure out what was expected. At first I thought we were supposed to use the whole word, but when I realized there were dashes it suddenly fell into place. but took some figuring to get it. Good for all of those that found it so easy. I had to work a little harder. Fun though!
easy and fun...nice way to wake up!
Nice quiz. Just enough prodding to keep my brain working! Thanks for sharing it with us.
I thought this was fun and just challenging enough to make it interesting. Good job peppamintp!
You just have to try each word in each space until you find the right ones. A moment's work.
Pretty easy but fun.
I started by being procedural, substituting words one by one until I found one that worked. By the third, I found my thought process change to look at the eight letter word, see what would fit the pattern (usually the ending), then scan the four letter words for one that fit. My brain is procedureal by nature. This was ultimately easy, but I suspect a lot of people finished it much faster than me because their thought patterns saw the big picture from the start.
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser. I got all the words very quickly.
Fun!
