One of These Things...
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.
One word is not like the others.
Which one is it?
Why?
Buzz
Click
Chime
Crash
Hum
Tweet
Whir
HintThink about the sounds.

Answer
Chime does not belong.
The others are onomatopoeia.
Onomatopoeia are words that imitate the sound they denote.
Chime is from the Middle English word chimbe (belle).

| I actually guessed TWEET b/c it was the only noise made by a living thing. I know some insects emit a buzzing noise, but it is not vocalized like I bird tweeting so that is why I went with that one.
Go figure!
Good job and thank you! |

| "Chime" is as onomatopoetic as "click" or "crash". |
