A great no.5 joining the series. Keep up the great job as this is a very good teaser.
Good! I like this style and the neat-o (did I just say neat-o?) vocabulary.
Very Clever!! Reminds me of an Anagram Magic Square puzzle.
I'm off to try the other four!!

I have to say that I need to work on my grammar...had to pull out the dictionary to even try to figure this one out !!!
But I did enjoy this one very much!! It's good to use my brain...or try to anyway .

WOW. Made my brain function at its peak. Good one.
I really liked this one, although I must admit I couldn't get the last one. Fun way to start the morning.
Rats! Couldn't get the last one. Great teaser!
Nice mind exercise to start my day. Thanks for posting.
I also was stuck on number 4. This teaser is definitely going into my favorites!
great teaser
This is such a clever teaser! Way to go!
This really is a creative teaser. Thanks
Wasn't sure I understood, so I sort of cheated a bit, and looked at the answer to number one. Then it made perfect sense and I was able to figure the others out. Will def. be looking at the other 4 teasers in this series.
WOW! From the instructions, I thought the clues and words were going to be obscure, but once I started reading the sentences, the answers came to me as I read!! The one that gave me a few seconds pause was the container in 4, but trace led me to react, so it had to be crate. Fun & easy--loved it! Thanks!
not 2 b mean, but this 1 made no sense at all
but cool teaser
never was good at anagrams

I am not too smart tonight as I did not know what I was supposed to do. I just did not understand the instruction and I see I was not alone. Oh well! Sorry.
beautiful; a teaser that made my brain do a little thinking!! Thanks!!
I got the first two right away, but gave up quickly on 3 & 4 because I'm in a rush this morning. Good!
Nice teaser, thanks!
An example would have been helpful, however I managed to solve it anyway.

Creative! I have not seen a teaser like this before. I think the first of the four was sufficiently transparent to make the answer and nature of the teaser clear. I had to work at the last one. Great way to start the day!
I was with HABS on this one. I did the same thing. I enjoyed the rest of the teaser after that. I am now looking forward to more of these in the future.
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser. I got them all very quickly.
