I'm the first! Boo-yah!
I got them all, I had to think about saber for a minute though.

Nice one! Got them all except 'binge'!
Whew!!! That one really jump-started my brain this morning!! Nice Fishmed!!
THE PROBLEM IS THEY ARE ALL THE LAST LETTER.
Couldn't get #5, great teaser, i loved it!
NICE ONE, COULDNT GET BINGE
I couldn't get "binge" either, but extremely fun!
smarty???,,,last letter???
lots o fun, but easy
lots o fun, but easy
They were all meant to be the last word. This was part of what was to make it easy to figure out. Glad you liked them.
I didn't get binge, but it was a very good teaser!
I missed "cloud!" Cheez! That was the easiest one,too. Oh well.
BORING BORING BORING. WHERE'S THE CHALLENGE. A 12 YEAR OLD COULD DO IT.
Got this one. Found it fun. Easier once you sopt the pattern that it's always the last word (this not detailed in instructions) Thanks very much
Quite an easy one for an anagram lover like me. If the answer-word was not at the end of the sentence, it would have been better! However, I loved the cleverly worded sentences.
Even though I only got 4, it is the best puzzle that I have seen! w00t!
if tou make another one try not to make it only the last word.
good teaser though

I really liked that one! It was hard but not yet extremely hard! very fun! thought you might be getting tired of me smiling so much he he!
I had a problem with this one because it was so ***'d easy. My how I love simplicity. Keep em coming
EXCELLENT! Very well done. I enjoyed doing it.
Imurray. Cut the guy a break. It was well done. Admit it.
Very good teaser but tire in #3 should be tyre. (At least that's how it's spelt this side of the world - I know sometimes American speeling differs from British English)
Had fun though

Pretty good teaser. Challanging, but not too challanging. Good job.
Unique. The 1st one dealing with anagrams w/ sentences I've seen so far.
GREAT teaser, Fish! I guess I just love WORD STUFF. Anagrams are always fun, and your sentence clues added lotsa FUN. Thanx!
Great teaser Fish....I would like to see more of these.
Got them all except dread. Would have been tougher if the words were in a different place for each sentence. It was fun anyway though, goodjob Fishmed.
nice one,but all the words were anagrams of the last of the sentence
i didnt get #2 or #5!! but they were very good!!
I only missed #2 & 5 also. Good work!
amazing!
Way too easy!!
i did not get dread but i did get the rest i thought this was gret..good job thank you
i liked this one .it was really easy , though . perhaps i would have been more challenging if words to work with weren't all at the ends of the sentences and we had to search for the word we needed to unscramble .
then again , i've never submitted a teaser so i'll be quiet for now !!!!! so thanks to those of you who do submit them so the rrest of us can have fun !

no it was kind of hard
I'm not very good at anagrams. But it was a good teaser!
It took me a while to get "binge" and "saber", but itwas fun and enjoyable.
i really liked this one. got 5 out of 6 (couldn't get the binge one).. keep em comin'
wow I thought that the dangerous "thing" for an alcoholic to begin is "night". I know thats true for lots of alcoholics!
FUN! I only got two of them! going on my faves ;)
didnt get dread o well
I liked it Papa fish! Easy but clever! Nice to log in and see your name on a teaser right away! Keep 'em comin!
I liked it but it wasn't very challenging. Hey lmurray...I'm 13!!!
It doesnt bother me though...

good one! tho i did not get it
Boring and easy! Boring with a capital B!!! L.O.L.!!
Clever...
Fishmed is the man! Great teaser. Just hard enough to make me think, yet easy enough to make me work for the answers. If all the complainers were as good at writing the teasers as they are about griping, just think of all the great teasers we would have. Come on people, constructive critics only, please.
funny enough, i did get #2...
however, i couldn't get #3 or #5...
but i did get get the rest right...

This one was fun, f-med. KUTGW!
Fun...
Got them all - great fun, this one!
Good one Fish - loved it - I see this is #2 I'm off to find #1, #3, #4, etc (how many have you done btw?)
Got them all! Very fun-- I loved it!
I wish you hadn't made it the last word in each sentence...
made it extremely easy...
Good job overall though!

I wish I would have figured out that it was always the last word of each sentence! Duh! Don't know how I had missed that! I thought this teaser was much tougher than it initially looked! Loved it!
Missed sheet but got ALL the others!!
Love this type! ty fishmed!
Love this type! ty fishmed!
I really enjoyed this one. Good job!
I thought it was pretty good. Having the last word in the sentence made it doable but I still couldn't get Sabre. I usually don't do well with anagrams. Great Job!!!
I found this quite easy.I guess that is why my IQ is over 160.
nice one had to do a little brain strain this morning
A wee bit too easy, but still fun to work out! Careful about giving the answers in your comments, kids! It gives the answers to the others! Otherwise, this must have been one of your easiest efforts, Fish! But, it is great for the pre-schoolers.
I thought this was really fun!! Took a moment to figure out, but it was quite enjoyable.
nothing fishy about this one, fishmed! very easy and also i think sabre is only spelled one way- sabre , i may be wrong - it happens... lol... keep em coming, make em harder, tks,
later gators...

I really liked this one. I didn't find it that easy because I didn't catch on that the anagram was the last word, even when I had figured a a couple of them out. I might have gotten them all if I had realized that. I think making up these teasers must be harder than solving them. Good job!
4/6 I missed tread and dread
Very interesting teaser
i didn't get a lot of them but I liked them anyway
Thanks for this really good teaser
i didn't get a lot of them but I liked them anyway
Thanks for this really good teaser
Well I got them all i really liked doing it , it gave my brain a workout ,course i did not notice the position of the anagrams and it was about right what can you say there. it helped youngsters,ibet
anagrams are fun.
I figured that is was the last word each time. I was right, but that still didn't help with #2, #3, and #5.
Liked this one even better this time around. Still one of my favorites.
i liked this one!
i got most of the answers
good job!
message me please!

Cryptic Crossword clues, don't you just love them?
Good Job, but I don't really know what amagrams are. I still figured them out.
I enjoyed doing this one. I might just go find others like this too! Keep 'em coming!
Very nice job.
Quite enjoyable (and clever, too!)

I love these!! This is an amazing teaser!
Pizzaz2u, you have to click on the comments to see them. I've never read the comments before the answer....
Anyway good teaser!
Anyway good teaser!
Easy, but really enjoyable. Thanks
Hey Imurrey, you were right. A 12 year old CAN do it. (although my IQ is over 130...)
Another enjoyable one, Fishmed. Thanks
Good one!
i got all except 2...
Glad you liked it.
Hey! that was FUN! I didn't even notice that the anagrams were all the last word (although I did start suspecting that each anagram was going to be 5 letters long).
Anyways, until I thought for a little longer, I was CERTAIN that the dangerous "thing" for an alcoholic to begin was "th'gin!"

i love it!
one of the best teasers so far. tricky at first but after spending some time on each i got all except the second one

Why all the anagrams are at the end of the sentence? That makes everything easier...
gud 1 dude ;)
#1 was easy...
good job!
Another easy repeat,
Got 'em all but #2. Great job!
Nice job, kinda easy, but fun.
I got'em all except "saber."
That was easy, but FUN.
That was easy, but FUN.
Cute teaser. I probably would have liked it more, though, if it wasn't always the last word in the clue.
Very entertaining. As others have said, these were made easier by the fact that the words were always the last in the sentence ... Still enjoyable though!
#2 I couldn't get past "gin".
Got them all! Took a bit on one of them, but it just came to me at the last try and this is one of the best teasers that I liked.
Good one!
Good one!
I liked this one too- thanks for posting!
Very easy. Look at this one HABS,it is almost a new one by the editors standards.
lol cutebug! You are right this one isn't old enough to drive, drink or vote! It can't even get into a PG movie on its own yet!
I agree that the teaser would have been much more challenging had the words been staggered and not at the end of the sentences. Still fun though!

fun! thanks, fishmed!
I only missed "binge" because I didn't stick with it long enough to strain my brain to try to figure it out! Yes, the teaser was easy, but I liked it! And once I figured out that the anagram word was the last one in the sentence, I was happy to not have to strain my brain to figure out which word to work on! I was feeling pretty lazy today
Thanks I got them all correct, doesn't happen very often so I rated it very easy. Has to be for me to get them all.
I really enjoyed it! Got all but #5 and #3.
Glad you guys liked them. Sometimes you gotta put in an easy one.
Got all of them except #2.
Why would I dread a poisonous adder? I just wouldn't eat it. I might dread a venomous adder, though. I also dread half adders, because I'm not good with logic gates.
This is very clever and creative. Very well done!
Thank you. I am glad you liked it. Check out my other stuff.
The first time I looked into this puzzle I did not notice that the anagram comes at the end of every description. I wonder if this was coincidence, or if it is the nature of the creative process. For instance , if I'm asked to make a sentence including "store", I'd say "I go to the store". My mind naturally puts the word at the end, because I am focusing on that word. Just pondering out loud.
Got them all except for 4 and 5
Glad you liked it.
