[1] not salty enough ;)

Wow, this was the first puzzle I tried to do as it was posted, and I got 61st! I'll certainly take that over my previous finishes. The last word stumped me... oh Tanga.

Wow, hard to get the middle to really sound like that.

34 seconds and 79th - I actually got here at the right time for a change!

squeaked in the top 100 - 99th!! :)

Would have got this one much quicker if I had realized that there was more than one of those things at the end. 63rd, good puzzle.

the stuff in the ( ) is quite deceiving. I'm not even sure what the ( ) is supposed to imply.

[9] I think the brackets are intended to imply normal math type stuff... evaluate those two bits together to get the result for that sound. Kind of odd, but maybe.

The ( ) were implying that it was a grouped word or it was 2 parts. idk i made this a long time ago...

As usual, send me a tangagram if you are having trouble or have got the puzzle but were confused about something... but if you know the answer, include that so I know you arent trying to get free answers :)

[11] I think the solution you wrote explains your intention at the time. (I don't like it much, but I can't easily think of an alternative.)

[12] yeah, at this time, i was writing at least 2 or 3 puzzles a day, but i stopped because we had a flood. And now i dont even have time to play the puzzles :( So I was shocked to see one used :)

The ( ) is a bit of a stretch for the sound of it, but ultimately it worked itself out.

I think if the ( ) and the ear were removed it would make a lot more sense

{solved this puzzle in 6 minutes and 33 seconds}
and I think the ( ) are OK (but I used a different 'interpretation' to get the same answer word) but I had trouble with the last part, inexplicably. took multiple minuteS on that one. How did you'all do?

I don't think both keys should have been circled in the first pic, I was trying to fit an 's' in the middle there as a plural.

Also, the last row isn't a picture of hutches.

I solved the puzzle, but I really don't think the ear should have been used. That was a real stretch.

I had a heck of a time trying to remove an H from "etageres"!

[18] that's for "Sounds like"
