Very nice teaseer! Very well done! Let's have more!
Looks familiar.
I apologize for a glaring error in this puzzle. The first word is only 5 letters, not 6. I hope it did not cause any undue consternation. I promise to do a better job next time...
I noticed that about the first one but it didin't ruin my day. I love these teasers. Keep them coming!
Wow! I got all but the bird in Brazil! Well done and don't worry about the letter numbers.
