Simply fun The only one I really faced with difficulty was 'dim emu.' I had to Google emu to make sure it was a bird. The more you know
Looks like we got a great one
I did not even try. It was too time consuming and I had no idea what some of the things were anyhow. Sorry!
Five for five, took a moment to get on the right track.
One of the best ones I have had the pleasure to solve. Took a couple of minutes. Very nice job!
Only got spider net, clean house, and clay ship. Good fun
Got them all! Pretty clever teaser, and very enjoyable!
Just enough bite for solving it to give one a little sense of accomplishment. Thanks.
So fun! I love anagram dictionaries
Another fun puzzle from the series. I found this one a bit easier than previous entries (although it definitely still takes concentration and effort). None of the answers in this one made me laugh out loud, whereas some others have had really clever (terrible?) puns as solutions.
I still really like the teaser! I'm just comparing it to the incredibly high bar cnmne has set for himself.

Got them all. I needed paper and pen for this one, sometimes they just jump out at you, but a few of these didn't. Another good one cnmne, keep them coming! I really enjoy anagram dictionaries also.
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser. I got them all very quickly. I was able to do it without copying anything down.
Solving them in my head, took about a minute, but it was great fun, thanks!
