I thought it was EBHBE, a pattern by the first letters but realized that was too easy. Nice job! but i always pronounced it A-sop. great teaser
Thanks, trewq. Yes, i was a little concerned about our different pronunciations. However, I did check a couple of American dictionaries before posting this one.
I got it !!! but I don't think it was for the same reason But I still got it
Great Teaser. Didn't understand, looking for something entirely different. Pronounce Aesop as Esop. lost in Space
That was a good challenge. Needed the hint to solve it.
I like that type of teaser, too.
I just didn't get this one!
I'd like to see more of these - thanks!

I too have always pronounced it as A-sop.
I actually got this one (and for the right reason ), so I'm going to say nice teaser!
Btw, what does EBHBE mean??

A good hard teaser, but I guessed it right!
Well done.
Since I teach phonics at a learning center (among other things), I got the pattern immediately and had the answer (never saw the hint.) Excellent teaser!!
I, too, pronounce it A-sop, so even though I said the words aloud I did not get it.
Fun even though I didn't get it!
Thanks, everyone - I'm glad you've enjoyed the little challenge! I checked the pronunciation of Aesop in a few dictionaries, and they all gave a long 'e' ... sorry to the 'A'sop fans!
slow and steady!
Did not care for this one. Got the answer right just by guessing, but did not know why!
I thought the answer was Beauty.
That was the first letters of each word (EBHBE) were the same forward and backward.
Eighth, Beauty, Height, Beau, Eulogy
It was a fun quiz - no matter what!

I meant to say "That WAY..." meaning, in other words...
I have never heard it pronounced A-sop. It has always been E-Sop anywhere I've heard it. I didn't get the answer but was fun to try.
I was lost in this one.
What is that SMELL? Its like an Ogre passed away and no one found them for weeks !! OH !!.....It is this teaser
easy, fun...perhaps you could have used aegis
Fun quiz! I've seen it before and STILL didn't get it - thanks for posting!
Fun teaser!
I think "Beauty" could also be considered a correct answer as follows:
In each of the words in List A, the first vowel is an "e", and it is immediately followed by another vowel. The only word in List B meeting that requirement is Beauty.

I picked beauty, good teaser
Alternate pronunciation got me too.
Nice fun teaser, though I would not label it as: E-Z?
Thanks!
Thanks!
