Braingle: 'Word Pairs' Brain Teaser

Word Pairs

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.

thimblenoggin Jul 06, 2006	An example would have been nice.
RedAngle65 Jul 06, 2006	U r the dog!
kistin14 Jul 07, 2006	Yeah, an example would have made it easier.
speedqueenkmw Jul 13, 2006	I agree-an example would have helped.
Barticus Aug 15, 2006	Very clever idea. Unfortunately it's not an idea easily repeated. The teaser was to figure out the relationship (antonyms) and then pair them up. How could you make an example for that?
integrity Oct 24, 2006	This one was fun
ellephat Jun 06, 2008	Fantastic teaser. Got all of them except tall open (obviously, I knew the pair, but couldn't figure out the connection)
elentir Mar 25, 2009	An example in the instructions would have given it away, but it would have been nice to have a hint.
brainfog Mar 25, 2009	Nice job. I just think the following 2 clues aren't the strongest. early LATE living (This would really depend on one's personal beliefs) tall SHORT open (short & open - electrical circuit) This would totally depend on one's accumen related to cicruitr) I only mention these because the other clues are more general.
doehead Mar 25, 2009	I was out in left field on this one.
perrygf Mar 25, 2009	That's brilliant!
tommysmo Mar 25, 2009	great teaser!!!
wordmama Mar 25, 2009	I don't usually agree with doehead, but this time we're in the same ballpark.
auntiesis Mar 25, 2009	Not my cup of tea. I really needed a hint or example.
FatHead Mar 25, 2009	Once I took a random guess (easy & soft), the rest were easy! But it was awesome! Thank you! I use too many exclamation points! Oh, and I must agree with the "tall & open" one - that one was hard! I only got it by elimination.
KiraraDemon Mar 25, 2009	I personally thought it was hard. How is fast an antonym of eat?
bradon182001 Apr 02, 2009	I don't understand this teaser at all. So I have to say it is hard, but thanks for posting.
