Nice one. Two possibles on #3.

I enjoyed this one----fun....

I think I've got the idea, but the clues aren't real obvious. My answers aren't getting me the solve and there are so many that I mess with that I can't figure out where I'm wrong. The clues need an extra clue to get the proper answer. I mean, I see the clue in the puzzle name, but I can't get every clue to fit that.

#5 is tough - I assume the issue is regional. First of all, I call that thing exclusively by a one syllable name. Second, if I were to call it by the three syllable name that is wanted, I would not pronounce the second syllable with a long vowel.

[5] Well, at least you got the buzz of it in the end

Some answers seem to be following one pattern and others another. I'm lost as to which to fiddle with. #5 is one of the few I'm sure of after [5] salt. I thought for a minute I was supposed to end up with a bunch of animals but that's not working either. And I can't get double letters on all either. Later... Thank you [7] Actually had most right but some sounds were not real words.

I loved the puzzle after it stopped driving me crazy!

[6] Here's a clew four yew:

Sheesh! Loads of fun - I liked the concept. I had the same problem as [4] with #5. Like [1], I found multiple #3 answers - starting with port, which made me keep shifting #4 around. When it came down to it, I had filled in #2 with the proper spelling of the syllable before I figured out the theme and didn't realize I needed to make it stand on its own until I went back over them. GREAT idea, though!

Any help on #3 and #4? I've been staring at this for waaay too long.

[3] it's what you do to get the lemonade into the glass.
[4] is a raised hooky bristly thingy on a smooth metal surface.

:)

[10] Thank you very much! Apparently I had #4, but kept trying to stick a 't' on the end of #3.

For #7 - is the American title being used or the real title?

102nd... so close. Still have no idea how this relates to the title though... other than solve method of course.
