Chains Reaction
These brain teasers rely on your ability to recognize groups of common attributes. For each of these puzzles you'll need to figure out why the words or letters are grouped as they are. Sometimes you will be asked to pick the odd-one-out or to place a new word into the correct group.
The words in Group A share a common property that only one word in Group B satisfies. Which one is it?
Group A:
Chains
Countess
Stained
Schooled
Purring
Corny
Group B:
Reaction
Penned
Spoiled
Stints
Putting
Hurry
HintSome ALTERNATE words that also fit in Group A:
Point
Sheet
Party
Jaunty
Hide
Answer
Spoiled
The property is that both sets of alternate letters form valid English words.
ChAiNs - can, his
CoUnTeSs - cuts, ones
StAiNeD - sand, tie
ScHoOlEd - shoe, cold
PuRrInG - prig, urn
CoRnY - cry, on
So the answer is SpOiLeD - sold, pie

| It took me quite a while, but I last I got it. This has been one of the more difficult "group" teasers I've seen so far. Good job Krishnan. |
