Braingle: 'Wizard or Magician' Brain Teaser

Wizard or Magician

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.

This is quite a group I've found;
Look who belongs, it will astound.

In this group, find BY and LO,
But see neither HIGH nor LOW.

This group is not very big,
But it has GRIT, GIRT and TRIG.

HOVELS is in, but move the "s",
this group SHOVEL does not possess.

It is sad but true, this thought:
VOLE belongs, but LOVE does not.

Now, which one belongs, tell me quick:
WIZARD, MAGICIAN, MEDIUM or MAGIC?

Trishgal Feb 14, 2007	I did not get the answer, but it was really fun trying to figure it out. They say working at something like this daily will keep your mind sharp. Guess I need some practice . Please keep sending these. They will train me to use that gray matter of mine.
speedqueenkmw Feb 14, 2007	way too tough for me. guess my brain doesn't think that way. nice job, tho.

nikitafullmoon Feb 14, 2007	Wow! very creative teaser. Totally stumped me.
shawneeo Feb 14, 2007	I got it, I got it, I got it, I got it!!!! I had to read the hint, and then, I don't know, I guess the word "symetry", plus, like someone else said, the "by", and it just popped into my head. That's a good one, pretty hard but not impossible. Thanks for the wonderful teaser!
Synlapse Feb 14, 2007	This one was a Brain "Taser". Zapped me good. Had no clue.

jabdr Feb 14, 2007	This was a tough one...way out of my league. Even the hint didn't help. My kudos to Marc and the few who actually got the answer.
shdwhawk Feb 14, 2007	Still don't understand. What you mean by eqidistant letters?
MarcM1098 Feb 14, 2007	equidistant means the distance is equal (i.e. the letters are the same distance away from the middle of the alphabet)
Lady_Lani Feb 14, 2007	good job....thanks for the headache. I took a lucky guess and got the right answer after my left eye started twitching. hehe.
mommydyanne Feb 14, 2007	Great teaser. Took me a day of analyzing before I figured it out. BY was also the clue for me.
vlerma Feb 15, 2007	Great teaser. but out of my dsata base today. Sorry.
