Brain Teasers
Relationships #10
Group
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.Group
In this teaser your job is to discover what all the words in COLUMN A have in common with each other.
The words in COLUMN B do not have any relationship with COLUMN A or with each other. They are there to help you check your theory for the words in COLUMN A. COLUMN B is also there to eliminate answers that are technically correct, but trivial, such as 'words with less than 12 letters', and so on. Good luck!

That was really good! But I found it hard. This helps my English
This was a good one, but quite hard! I am glad I checked the answer when I did or else I'd still be trying to figure it out.
Even with the directions (and knowing the answer), I was still at a loss for column B's purpose.

Good quiz but I still can't fathom what the words in column b signified.
Good Teaser! Column B really wasn't needed. Those words only made it harder, and it was hard enough already!
Ok, I understand the purpose of Column B...if your answer can apply to any of the words in Column B, then your answer is wrong. (such as my first guess of 'all the words have only one vowel'...this is wrong because there are words in Column B that also have only one vowel).
I didn't get the right answer but am now fully awake. Thanks! =)

The instructions were clear and it all makes perfect sense.
That said, I didn't even come close to getting it. The premise is challenging enough, but (at least for me) "capon" pushed the difficulty through the roof.
I guess I have to brush up on my Webster's Pocket Dictionary of Terms Relating to Chicken Castration.

Nice one, Jazz. I actually figured out one of your teasers. Yay!!! Thanks for posting.
Nice job. I was thinking along the right lines but never came upon ON.
I was on the right track. I tried adding tion. Caption, traction, etc. Good one !! So crose, but then again, not really.
I thought they all had one vowel, which they do, but I was wrong. :-(
Good quiz; I got nowhere with it. I was going to say that all the words in column A had two vowels where those in column B had one. I know that a,e,i,o,u and sometimes h and y are considered vowels. Still didn't work. Got a little bit of a mental workout anyway.
What the heck is capon?!
I considered adding on to the end, but when capon wasn't anything I recognized, I quickly moved on.
You stumped me with this one!
