1) West Indies (West in D's). That was a map of the West Indies in the background.
2) Forty Niners (4 Ts, 9 Rs). A reference to an American football team.
3) Three Blind Mice (3 mice without the letter I - no Is/no eyes = blind).
4) The Unfinished Symphony (no ending to the word Symphony). That's Schubert, the composer in the image.
5) Water or H2O (H ijklmn O - or H to O). That's some lovely lake water in the photo.
6) Hungary (Hung Gary on the gallows). Arrows point to a map of Hungary. I have now published all of your comments so if you like, you can check them out at the end of the previous post.

Oh, I forgot to come back! Dang it!
That was fun Hilary. 4 out of 6 wasn't too bad. Congrats to those who got all 6.
Aw, I think I got one or two right or so, hehe.;) Need to practice my brain more.;)
Congratulations to everyone, I will try to visit these lovely places.;)
Have a great midweek dear Hilary,
xoxo
That quiz you had as your last blog was fun Hilary. Jill and I both enjoyed it, but Jill's the brains in our house :-) Dave
wow i would jave totally been wrong on all thanks for the awesome quiz
Hmmm... looks like I missed lots of fun here. :(
Happy New Year to you dear Hilary!
Well, congratulations to the puzzle solvers. What a bunch of smartie pants readers you have. LOL
And congrats to the POTW. Must go read some of them now.
Tata, and thanks for being YOU!

I either have to do more of these or give up altogether. My angst wasn't worth the outcome, which, of course, I had thought was perfect. :-*
Fun.
But don't do it again soon please.
Awww thanks for the POTW.
I enjoyed your wordplay, Hilary.
I am not very good at these...I did get a couple of them and was going to go back and try again but forgot...glad that some very brainy people got them. I hope to get a chance in the near future to check these posts out. Happy hump day Hilary! XX
Glad to see myself included in such an esteemed company of puzzle solvers! Thanks for the fun, Hilary!
And I hope we continue to make each other laugh in 2011! LOL
I tried but only got one by chance. It made my brain hurt! I am amazed that so many got all of them right. I love your POTWs and if I ever need inspiration, I find them here.
hey, thanks Hil!
just now getting back into the rhythms of blogging. nice to see you in the new year!
You were kind to include me among the puzzle solvers in spite of its taking me three tries in three days to get them all. I loved Frank's response to the puzzle. I can see why you enjoy hanging out with him. :)
Thanks for the POTW mention.
So much catching up to do, I am glad that it's to cold to be out much! I can spend the day reading.
hugs
Sandi
Very good puzzles, forgot to say. Do it again some time, if you ever get the notion.
Oh dear...I never got one of those word puzzles. (I knew that going in to it;))
Thanks again for the POTW reads...love getting to know other blogs out there!
Congrats to all the brainy puzzle-solvers:))
OK, NOW I can sleep. How did I not get the mice one?
Thanks for the POTW! Off for some good reading!
Sorry I missed the game! Although, my brain is experiencing a little temporary meltdown, so I probably would have failed miserably. :)
I think I'll visit one of your recommended blogs. Hmmm... which one?
Have a peaceful and fulfilling new year, Hilary.
I just realized that when I came here earlier, I flew off to read POTW, but never commented here. 14 winners ~ Yeah! It was fun, but I'm not sure how well I would do if they were more difficult!
Looking forward to checking out the POtw!! :-)
oy being away for a few days it seems like i missed out on a spot of fun...congrats to the POTW...will be around in a bit...
Congrats to the winners! :)
I'll have to see how many were obsessed to get your puzzles all done.The hints helped, wait there is no Hungary is there, it became a few counteries.Some good reads today, Linda's had me watching a lot more videos.I was amused withthe Key West one at the end, got me to cruise that blog.
Aw...! Hilary...thank you so much. What a week it has been for me, this is the icing on the cake. XXX
And so many great posts too.
Ah, I was so close! I thought of H to O but really didn't think it fit. dang.
So busy with my visitors that I missed this fun.

Nuts in May
Hilary, I'll check those site out. Thanks so much.
Can't wait to dive into to some good reading. I was really stumped on some of those word puzzles but it was fun!
Missed this. Sounds like fun ~~
Very creative Hilary. When I first read your word plays, I did not have any answers--I need to eat more brain food.
Thanks as well for recognizing my posts--I am glad that someone else is entertained by my clueless life adventures.
Great job to those who got them all!!!
Thanks for stopping by, everyone!
Congrats to the winners of the word play and to the best posts...
Thanks for recognizing my blog here. Last time I was nominated for anything like that was three or four years ago, and the guy who nominated my blog is dead now. I miss his blog. Very funny guy.
Mississauga is near Toronto, if I recall. My wife and I used to visit Toronto when our kids were young--CN Tower, Casa Loma, the Science Center, Royal Ontario Museum, Organ Grinder, etc. Our students from the school here made two field trips to Toronto and I chaperoned both times. Fun places around there.
Hi. Thanks for shout-out!
Yay! It was fun. I love a good brain teaser!
Happy to check out the new posts of the week, and thanks!
Can't wait-- you have SO many to chose from. I love that you're dividing it out by categories. Thank you for everything that goes into doing this :-)
West Indies! *smacks forehead*
Thanks for the fun, and as always, thank you for pointing us to some wonderful blogs. :)
Hilary, I should like to nominate
