mistressgia Jan 08, 2006	fun!
Brainy_1 Jan 08, 2006	Good one! Keep 'em coming!!
ErrantThinking Jan 08, 2006	Not to sound too pick-y... but what in the questions restrictions makes the following response less legitmite an answer? Ice does not belong because, unlike the rest, it begins with a vowel.
brainster Jan 15, 2006	I must be getting better at these find-the-odd-man-out ones! I actually got it! Yay!
(user deleted) Jan 19, 2006	Yea...I got the same thing as Errant.
seanlandrews Aug 09, 2006	How about tooth, it's the only one that isn't pluralized by adding an "s".
dogg6pound9 May 09, 2008	i came up with tooth because it was the only word that had repetitive letters in it
jimbooth019 Feb 08, 2009	I removed ice because it was the only word you couldn't remove a letter and still have a word.
doehead Feb 08, 2009	Too many possible answers.Should have elaborated more on the type of answer you were hunting.
vlerma Feb 08, 2009	Nice job. Guess I was just in a picky mood this morning as it came right to me. But may not be as easy for others.
saleprice Feb 08, 2009	Yay, got this one right away,ez pz thx
ygtbjkn Feb 08, 2009	What is a Nit?
builder Feb 08, 2009	yqtbjkn, a nit is a very small thing. to nitpick is to be critical about minutia. fun teaser
auntiesis Feb 08, 2009	Not too difficult, but cute. I was trying to figure which ones could be either a verb or noun. When I came to nit...... the dawn came.
bradon182001 Feb 08, 2009	I liked this one as well. Took me a few minutes to figure out also, but then the light bulb went off. Thanks for posting.
mepapa Feb 08, 2009	ok technically nit pick is two words... I kind of feel the same way about handpick. but it is an interesting teaser. thanks for the brainpick er
Barticus Feb 08, 2009	The answer "ice" because it starts with a vowel is wrong because that puzzle would be lame. The answer "tooth" because it has a double vowel is wrong because that puzzle would be lame. The answer "ice" because there's no way to remove a letter and leave a word is not as lame as the foregoing. It arguably isn't lame at all. However it's not as good a teaser as the intended answer.
GebbieRose Feb 08, 2009	And you can change the first letter of all but "ice" to S and create a new word.
piratechicken92 Feb 11, 2009	ok i dont care what anyone says, that was really hard in fact it was too hard. like others have said, there were to many different answers
