Enjoyable Worked this one out in review, and had gotten stuck on a couple of the words, but I stil had fun solving it.
An enjoyable teaser. It takes a little bit of working, but it will get your mind going. WTG!
A great language teaser!
Sorest also works for number 3 if that;s really a word.
good teaser
Very clever and very fun. Thanks!
Well maybe I'm just stupid today. I came close to getting a couple of the words, but no cigar. The solutions, once I saw them, seemed so obvious, but I found the puzzle surprisingly hard. I've only had one cup of coffee so far this morning, maybe that's the problem, or as I say, maybe I'm just stupid today.
Took a little concentration, but I got all but # 4. Cudgle would never have come to mind. Good quiz, I enjoyed it. Thanks.
Very fun puzzle... I got them all, but I got "sorest" for #3... not sure if that's a word, or if it's "most sore". I never understood when you could use -er and -est...
Very fun!
Very fun!
Great puzzle!
That was a relly fun teaser! I got all the answers right! (I actually didn't give up this time! )

Very difficult, in just the right way. Also, a great variety of words used, thanks for that too. Very well done.
i relearned my alphabets :-) got it except for cudgel by alphabet countin !
That was pretty hard
Sore, sorer, sorest. It's a word. That's what I got, too. Cudgel was the stumper, and snoopy.
Good teaser, thanks for sharing, even though I kept it in my inbox for a few days (busy, busy).

It took me a while but I got them all. I wrote down the whole alphabet and it works well doing it that way as you can start inserting letters much easier. You have to do it in your head and not on paper. The inserting , I mean. Just use the written alphabet as a guide line.
I got 5. I finally gave up on Snoopy. I ran out of patience more than anything.
It took a few minutes, but I got them all; the last one took me the longest. I didn't write down anything; I just took the alphabet 3 letters at a time and placed them in each word until I got actual words (got 'solemn' before I would have hit the other letters.) Fun!
Again did not know I did it before and got them all once more using the same procedure. Write the alphabet down on paper and just follow along on each word. They come right up.
Fun!!
Fun!!
Took a bit of work but was able to get them all. Very enjoyable.
nice way to start my day! Thanks
it DEFeated me.
LOVED this puzzle. I was able to figure them out and enjoyed this one!
If all else fails, you can just be methodical and try every consecutive-letter combination until you find one that fits. There's only 24.
What a great teaser I enjoyed! I've never heard of the word cudgel though.
This is a terrific teaser. It seems it should be so easy since you can just test every possibility, but it strained my brain tremendously. Nice to get the thinkin' muscle stretched in new directions to stay elastic!
#5 humbled me finally gave up and went scodey. as a teen long ago some thing scoddy (never k new real spelling . anyway good, tester teaser
Solved them all with just a little thought, thanks!
