| Coincidentally boundaries has 10 letters-All the rest of the words have 9 letters. |
Araldite
Aug 13, 2005
| Exactly! I thought it was boundries with 10 letters. |

| Cancerous is the only one that's not a noun. Then there's the letter count. This teaser wasn't ready for prime time. |
moocownessmoo
Aug 13, 2005
| hmm....cancerous is totally the only adjective. Thus, that was my guess o.o |

| i got it!!!! i really liked it. i think that the hint did help. (or it helped me at least...) good job! |

| I thought it was a good one but very easy. I am in to the sign thing so I seen it for what is was right away. But good job I liked it. |

| I was completely stumped until I read the hint. I loved it!
I think it is a very good teaser. |

| I liked it lot! Took me a bit of thinking, but got it (cancerous got me rolling on the right track!!). Thanks for a fun puzzle! |

| Got it after I read the hint. Thanks for the fun, |

Aug 13, 2005
| That was so easy I thought I got it wrong. (untill i read the hint anyway) Great teaser! |

Sarah5225766
Aug 13, 2005
| I got it, but not w/ ur answer.
My guess was that keyboard was the only compound word! key and board. the other ones are just words with endings on them. |

| Hi all! Thanks for your comments - this was my first teazer and I've learnt a lot about things to check my teazers for (like multiple answers!) |

| Hm, I got the right answer, but for the wrong reason. I though it was keyboard because it only had 2 syllables and the other ones had 3 syllables.

| Also, all the words have nine letters except Boundaries which has ten. |

| This was a very well written and fun teaser. Thanks. |

| Like pinapples, a year ago, I got it, but after the hint, AND I guessed between keyboards and boundaries. But good 1! |
coachpisco
Sep 26, 2006
| I picked KEYBOARDS but for another reason. It's the only compound word in the list. |

| Strangely enough, I caught on quickly. Great Teaser! Thanks for making me feel a wee bit smarter! |
bradon182001
Sep 26, 2006
| Well, I didn't get it. I counted letters, compared definitions, looked at every angle EXCEPT the Zodiac. Silly me. Teaser did what it was supposed to do - made me think!!  |
harr
Sep 26, 2006
| ha i thought it was keyboards because it is the only one without an "n" |
Pizzazz2u
Sep 26, 2006
| Even though Librarian has no O in it, I had the answer you were in search of. Terrific teaser, for the younger generation, if they need to learn those signs. Keep up the mind-mashing work, I do enjoy it. |
kman613
Sep 26, 2006
| I knew it had something to do w/ constellations, and I thought it was keyboard, but I still couldn't figure out why...!! Great teaser. |
locutus13ds
Sep 26, 2006
| This one I got, had some help from the hint, but i was leaning towards astrology signs |
phyllisa
Sep 26, 2006
| Good one, you got me! |

Sep 26, 2006
| An alternate answer exists...much simpler: Boundaries is the odd one out.
Boundaries contains ten letters; all the other selections contain nine. |
asupmdr
Sep 26, 2006
| An easier correct answer is Librarian, the only listed word without an "o". |

| Good one Pleroux!! Especially being your first submission!! I wouldn't have gotten it without the hint! |
scallio
Sep 26, 2006
| Librarian has no O AND Chameleon has no R. I thought those were a bit too easy to be true.
I would not have gotten this without the clue. I hate using the clue! Great teaser!
|
speedqueenkmw
Sep 26, 2006
| Well, I thought I had it right away because Boundaries has 10 letters and the rest have 9. Then I looked at the hint. Should have realized it wouldn't be anything as mundane as amount of letters. Good one! |
heyman
Sep 26, 2006
| I thought of syllables but Librarians had 4 syllables so that threw out the syllable equation.
Good puzzle. |
lessthanjake789
Sep 26, 2006
| thought at first it would have something to do with having all the vowels, so maybe that makes boundaries the odd one out, as it is the only one to contain all 5? good one though, I got it and liked it, ever after an incorrect first impression. |

Good. A better title would have eliminated the other possible answers. |

Even better since I got it.!!!!
Thanks for submitting your brainangle. |

Sep 26, 2006
| Had to use the hint but, I was on the right track anyway.
Nice one all the same THX |
zightlight
Sep 26, 2006
| I also thought the answer was boundaries, since it has ten letters and all the other words have nine. That was a clever puzzle. |
RRAMMOHAN
Sep 26, 2006
| I found this quite easy. as cancer, liibra and scorpio appear at the start of the words.! It is no doubt a nicely thought out teaser! |

jabdr
Sep 26, 2006
| Great teaser! The comments show how dilligently we all reached our answers, for what we thought were valid reasons. I, for one, went the noun vs the adjective. Discounted the zodiac because I didn't see aries or leo...my bad! I loved it.. |
chocolatechippy
Sep 26, 2006
| i got it, but for a different reason, lol |
Moon_Girl_
Sep 26, 2006
| oooooooh....I thought it was boundaries with the ten letters instead of nine
still...good one |
twixy

| very easy but good nonetheless. |
tmking
Sep 26, 2006
| hint made it to easy but it was still fun |
kaakramer
Sep 26, 2006
| Very clever. I was thinking it was something to do with nouns vs. adjectives since cancerous is the only one that's not a noun. Then I read the hint and knew it had to do with horoscopes. I just didn't go as far as taking the words apart. Good one! |
vlerma
Sep 26, 2006
| You had me counting letters, vowels, and etc. But having seen four of the zodiac names I decided that keyboard had to go. Good job. |
Sarah5225766
Sep 26, 2006
| I started to get it w/ the Libra, Cancer, and Scorpio but then i didn't really see much of the others and I ended up finding a different way. Scorpions is the odd one out because it's the only one w/o the letter "a" in it. |
Qrystal
Sep 28, 2006
| Wow, most of us tried all the same things .. I counted letters too, looked at tenses, noticed that keyboard was compound and had less than three syllables .... but I knew those couldn't possibly be the reason for elimination, because they were just too trite and just not quite reeking of the usual Braingle cleverness.
So I kept looking ... looking ..... and then after pushing through all boundaries, I resisted asking a librarian and lo and behold I heard the cancerous scorpion speak to me about what the chameleon was hiding. No need to bang my head on the keyboard for this one!! |
deeptranc_23
Oct 10, 2006
| i actually got it right
but i figured the keyboard is the only one that makes sounds.... |
breathesunshine
Sep 26, 2009
| My first guess went with the letter count since they're all 9 letter words but one. Then I checked the hint and got the answer right away. |
jonnybgood
Sep 26, 2009
| Alternative solution - Cancerous, the only adjective. The others are all nouns. |

avonma
Sep 26, 2009
| Good one. I couldn't get it until I saw the hint. I had been thinking about the zodiac, but couldn't see them in the words. Finally I found them. Thanks! that was fun! |
FatHead
Sep 27, 2009
| Talk about unusual. Wasn't it because "keyboards" is the only compound word? Or it could have been "boundaries", it being the only abstract one, or the only one with more than nine letters. Hm, oh well. |
dalfamnest 
Sep 28, 2009
| I chose 'cancerous' because it's the only one without the 'ee' sound.
Yes, there are several answers but that doesn't stop it from being a clever and creative teaser. 'Odd one out' puzzles seldom have unique solutions and that adds to the fun. |
Babe

| I am first in 2012. Where is everybody from 2009 until 2012? Hmmm!
Did not get the teaser, but it was a fairly good one. So many alike though |

| I said it was cancerous because it describes something, while the rest are nouns. |
tripleteam5
Sep 26, 2012
| cancerous. Other words are nouns or "things" |
