took me awhile but I got it. GOOD JOB
It was pretty simple (I got it by the 2nd clue) but it was also VERY fun, just as everyone else has said.
I'm hoping for more like this, perhaps a little more difficult, in the future!

pretty easy but lots of fun!
that was suprisingly easy. I thought of a fruit that shared a commen letter, and came up with pear and tea... and from there, it was easy. Great teaser, keep up the great work!

Great riddle! I can never get riddles, but I got this one! . It was nice since its past my bed time, gave me somthing to do while winding down
great job! i solved it and i first thought the drink was ale but o well i got tea sonner or later. I got it after all the 123456 possibilities (i think first 4 clues)
keep em comin
keep em comin
Clever format and very fun. The possibilities are endless in creating more... Perhaps bigger/more difficult words would kick up the difficulty factor a little bit? I don't want to spend a half an hour solving it, but I think you know what I mean. Thanks for submitting!
Whew! Fun, but tough.
YAY I GOT IT IN 2 MINUTES!
Well, I didn't get it. I started out with ale, and gave up. I really could have used some kind of hint.Am I the only one who had no clue?
That was a really good one!
i got this one last year.
it was fun then but with all the teasers on this site how come they have the same teaser of the day repeated each year on the same day? it makes me want to stop coming here.

At last, we got something to sweep any negative comments under. Good One.
A very awesome teaser. Easy enough to work out on a pad, without spending hours and hours on it. This superb teaser is easier because it has been used within a year, but try to get a few more made a little bit tougher. Keep up the terrific work! I can enjoy this type of teaser.
to the guy above me, I know what you mean! What I don't like is making a comment on a daily teaser, and finding there are already fifty to over a hundred comments from the past times it was the daily teaser! I agree also that with all teh teasers it doesn't seem like they'd need to repeat the Teaser of the Day teaser. Everyone who agrees with that should PM Jake, the owner, or one of the editors, if you want tem to change it. Make it very specific and polite.
I liked this teaser a lot, and, I GOT IT, YAY!!! I did it in my head. I think it was JUST hard enough to do in my head, and to be a challenge. Thanks!

great one! fun way to start off the day. got my brain squeeking.....
I got lucky when I started by guessing TEA for that first 3-letter beverage. After that it fell right into place. Ahhhh ... the sweet smell of success is a great fragrance with which to start the day.
THANX!!!!
THANX!!!!
Cleverly woven teaser from a common word! How creative! It was easy though, but fun to solve it. More, please.
Good one, OCH! Ditto your thoughts!
Yay! I luv it!
cool!
i also guessed ale and gave up quickly , oh well .
Although the teaser was fairly easy. i enjoyed it riddles are not my faves ,but simpler ones like this are cool
Good one...very clever....
Relatively too easy, but nice!
Once I changed DOG to CAT it started getting easy ...then I got them all!
I really enjoyed this one!
I went to CAT first and the rest fell into place. Great puzzle!
did u even think of putting a hint? that was sortta hard, but that was great thinking. u might even think of putting the ;etters mixed up and not tell us wat order or someting like that! great jog anyways dude!
Way too easy. Fun though!
this was awesome i had fun solving it 2!
THANKS for a puzzle I could solve.
GREAT FUN!!!!
GREAT FUN!!!!
I got it! Had fun doing it.
very nice!
Nice one
Rats, no pun intended, I'm too tired tonight. I got all the words right, but then forgot to put the 6 letter word together before I looked at the answer. DUH! And me, I used to be married to a carpet layer. I need some sleep.
wow....that was sooo simple....why didnt i get it....i must be out of it
TOO EASY!
that was cool -- it was like there was a hint built right into it. But I started with the drink, and tried POP, then GIN, and was almost frustrated... until I scanned down to see if there were other ones I could get more easily. 1-2-6 eats 3-2-6 is a dead giveaway, and only THEN were the drink and fruit easy to get (for me).
All in all, I had to call this easy, but fun.

Qrystal, that's almost scary! I thought that I was the only one who started with pop, then gin, then skipped to cats & rats to "back into" tea. I thought pop was just a Michigan & Eastern US thing! Pretty funny!
I love these kinds of teasers!!!
Very little thought needed needed for this one. Way too easy.
EZ PZ but a lot of fun!
Sorry, Doehead, it made me think as much as I like to in the morning and gave me a feeling of some accomplishment before starting my day. Do you realize that sometimes your comments are insulting to others besides the brainteaser submitter? I hope you can lighten up and enjoy life more.
I liked this teaser.

Great teaser! Thanks for submitting it!
I got cat and rat right off the bat, but I was thinking ale and had a harder time coming up with the rest. Just hard enough without being impossible for me. Thanks.
I'm new in here and this first teaser I thought was going to be easy.
How do you figure the numbers?
a b c d e f...first 6 letters of the alphabet.....
NOPE that's not it and so it's not easy for me...I need the key to the numbers, Please?

Kathryn, the numbers refer to the position of the letters in the 6-letter word being sought!!
I really enjoyed figuring this out, even if it only took a minute to complete. Thanks for posting!
btw, for the people complaining about repeats: not everyone on-site now was on years ago; also, I for one do not check out every puzzle, every day, so the puzzles I see and do are new for me, and I'm sure I'm not alone!!

I know I've seen this teaser somewhere before..........Good one though!
We are not all as smart as those who are bragging how easy it was. I finally got it and am proud of that, but it took me about fifteen minutes to do it and I loved it. Very good teaser and great fun! Thanks a bunch!
On the easy side,but enjoyable. The only statement that is wrong/ cats very rarely eat rats/they just kill them.
I tried "pear" for a 4-letter fruit and went from there - a lucky start - so I found it easy, but very enjoyable! As far as cats eating rats: A feral cat who has to scrounge and hunt for its food would probably eat it; whereas a pet cat who is routinely fed would maybe kill it just because of its hunting instincts but would probably not eat it! Oh well, Good Teaser!!
That was GREAT!!!
I loved it, it felt like a little mystery!!

Fortunately there aren't many 3-letter drinks.

Fun and easy teaser; I got it very quickly.
Easy teasy. Still, novel enough to be entertaining. Quite worthy.
That was fun, thank you!
