Great teaser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great teaser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great teaser! Tough but not too difficult. I enjoyed this and appreciated the animal theme in the scrambled words or I never would have gotten seahorse.
I THOUGHT OF THE ANSWER FROM CLUE ONE AND CONFIRMED IT WITH THE SECOND CLUE.
I LIKE THESE, BUT VERY VERY EASY

woooow! I got it!!!
I did figure Eishenhower!
Sorry I probably miss-spelled the Prez's name.
Great teaser! Of course it would have helped if I read the directions corectly!! I took the letters BEFORE I unscrambled the words!!
Very nice!
Easy but fun
These Prez Scramblers are fun. I did a little Prez matching with the unscrambled words based on appearance or perceived personalities: the seahorse could be Coolidge, the monkey sorta speaks for itself, Lincoln would giraffe over all the rest, the lemur and Nixon seemed a match and I saw either Arthur or Cleveland for the walrus. And good old Ike was good choice for a teaser. Well Done.
That was so great! But I didn't get the right anwer. I was confused of the instructions. So sad .huhuhu... but that was realy fun!
I knew it was Eisenhower, but couldn't figure out "lemur". Great teaser.
Unfortunately, like Brainy 1, I didn't read the directions correctly.Next time I'll read and reread before I start. Good fun teaser, tho.
I'm really not good at unscrambling stuff, so personally didn't enjoy but it was still great and informative!
I couldn't get lemur, and i had seashore instead of seahorse so i was all fouled up...
These are Always FUN! But, this one was a bit *too easy*. Good idea with the theme of the puzzle, though.
Fun and very do-able for most! Again, I love OCH's sense of humor this a.m. (I had TR as the walrus, we all know who the monkey is). Thanks for submitting.
If one wanted a harder Presidential Scrambler, try one made from Middle Eastern or Eastern European countries leaders. That would grab these 'too easy' kids.
This was a little hard for me, but I saw Eisenhower once in London.

love word scrambles...nice teaser
DH! Why did I think the scrambled words would be president names??? Maybe a tiny, little clue that the scrambled words are animals would have set me in the right direction. Yet, that would perhaps have made it wayyyyy toooooo easy.
I was not patient enough. 20 lashes for me!

I had trouble with Lemur but eventually got it. Very good teaser Swaff!
This was great!! I usuallt give up on these without even really trying, but decided to do this one and I am glad!! I also got seashore for seahorse but was albe to solve for eisenhower and realize that i had unscrambled that one wrong and finally figured out seahorse!
i liked it!!
i liked it!!
Thanks for all the comments
I only started this series of teasers to have an easy, yet enjoyable set of teasers. Guess I accomplished that.
I really wish I would have had submitted them all with "the unscrambled words will fit a theme" in the body, would have made it a bit easier to not get the wrong word.

Good job anyway!
Good job anyway!
Before I saw the animal theme going I had "SEASHORE" as the first unscrambled word and couldn't figure out how to spell Eisenhower without the "o".

I liked this puzzle.
Good job. Easy one but liked your choice of words to unscramble. Wasn't a write-in for me.
i also had seashore for the first one in the beginnig! i got all the rest but lemur!
Extremely easy, but fun.
Missed out on the President's name but could unscramble all 5 animals' names correctly!
I missed it but then I thought it was friday all day and it is only Thurs. so now you know. It was a good teaser. Thanks.
Great one SWAFF. Not to show my age, just to add to his history lesson - I marched in the band that was Nebraska's representative to Eisenhower's inaguaral parade. We got to spend two weeks in Washington DC and tour all around and shake hands with IKE, and his infamous VP, RMN. So as Bob Hope would say, Thanks for the memories. And yes, I did get the answers right!
guess what i got all but seahorse. and i knew the president's name without unscrambling the letters. is this showing my age? great teaser
