EXcellent. Challenging and fun too!
Obviously u put lots of thought into that one. Really good work.
That was a hard one.
Thank you
W0W great job really really hard for me I didn't get any of them.
Too complicated for my fuzzy gray stuff this early in the day
Good puzzle - a real thinker! I ended up getting them all, but after a lot of time and rearranging!
It was definitely by trial and error! Thanks!

This was a lot harder than it looked at first. The chalenge was there, I just wasn't up to it. Another great teaser, Jazz,
Fun, easy, time consuming. I like to be able to solve these ocasionally
I normally don't leave comments, but this was really great. Well done!
Great teaser. Took me a while to get started, but once I had a few the rest just fell into place. I just had to hope that 'antitrust' was a word when left with ant, it & rust at the end!

PER ME ATE

That was fun! I got them all, but it was nice to have to use the brain to figure it out.
Thanks!
Thanks!
That was awesome. I only figured it out by putting it into a grid format in a spreadsheet program. I really enjoyed it, super job!
That was so great. I got them all, but it took a few minutes. Awesome teaser. Thanks for posting.

fun, but hard.
Good One Jazz. I got all but two by just looking at the possibilities, but couldn't get Matador and Noonday without writing it all down and crossing out all the used letters to see what was left. You're batting a 1000 and I'm batting about 600. B But closing in....
Well...it's really gratifying to know that people actually attempt these teasers. Thanks for the great comments.
Loved it ! Was really fun. Got them all ,after taking out pen and paper ..Nice
I really liked this one! Needs a bit of thinking but not too much, just my kinda teaser.
Will look out for more like this!
Will look out for more like this!
Nice one! I was lucky to not go down the wrong path with something like permeate. That there are other possibilities is what makes it challenging. Thanks!
very well-created... took me awhile to solve this one... had to shift my brain into overdrive to get them all... love to see another one
hey jazz... didnt realize it was you that created it... another masterpiece... you've got a gift, so keep 'em coming please!
Fantastic job!
Good job, Jazz. I needed pen and paper to get this one, but it was fun.
I missed only matador; I'd done all the others in my head and didn't write anything to cross out and see what was left!! Gave me a headache, but it was fun!!
Hmm, why was I thinking "permeate?" Besides that, I got the rest
Not enough time this morning for this one.
Ran out of patience before I got them all done! Had fun, though!
I got 3 of them and then gave up because it was taking too long and I lost patience like a lot of others. It is a good one though.
Enjoyed the teaser; fun and entertaining. It took a little while but I got them all.
I LOVED this puzzle. It was a challenge but I did get them all. This is my all time favorite. Thanks, Jazz!!
This one was tough, but Notepad helped.
Fun and entertaining teaser; I got them all again this time but just like the last time, it took awhile.
I worked it all out in my head with just the sets of words in front of me.
