Llama, Phoenix, Hyena.......
Trick brain teasers appear difficult at first, but they have a trick that makes them really easy.
Change the position of just one of the words below so that all the words are in an alphabetical sequence:
llama, phoenix, hyena, alligator, beaver, elephant, tortoise, antelope
Answer
Antelope. Move it from the end to the beginning; the initial letters will then spell ALPHABET.

| I agree with gooblah. The answer wasn't technically correct. |

| I took it as a play on words. It's obviously not going to be in alphabetical order due to moving one word. Great teaser. |

| I agree with TurdFerguson. And changing the position of one word would change all the positions. |

Nov 19, 2005
| I agree w/a couple of the others - just because the first letters spelled alphabet, that doesn't constitute and "alphabetical sequence" - I thought it was confusing also. |

Nov 19, 2005
| Okay, Okay, good job! You know what? I think if you had said simply "change the position of one word to make it ALPHABETICAL...", then it would be perfect; but, that's just me. I know it's very, very hard to think up these, and I truly respect people for doing it! I've noticed a lot of controversy, much of it from me, lately about the correctness of a teaser. I know this is a family site, and I love it. I'm going to post a general topic today, for anyone interested, about this issue because there seems to be at least two camps of thught on this and I think it's an imporant topic; but ALL IN THE SPIRIT OF FUN!

Nov 19, 2005
| I see your point shawneeo, but the word was alphabet and not alphabetical. So, I guess he would then have to add a few more words as well. Right? I need more coffee. |

| Indeed you intended to be vague in your directions to mask the relative facility in which a person would solve your braingle.
Neat and Clever
For that I say, Well done |

| "Change the position of just one of *the words below* so that all the words are in an alphabetical sequence:"
Below the words.
X) I moved below to the beginning, making the "the words below" in alphabetical sequence. |

| I thought the answer was any of them because no matter how you placed them they would always be in an alphabetical sequence Good one though |

| I agree with some others that have said that really isn't the correct answer. What you asked is impossible, maybe if you asked but them in Alphabet Sequence, that would be right |

| If they all spelled "alphabetical" instead of "alphabet" it would make a little more sense. Or maybe I'm just splitting hairs. |

| The writer must have failed English. It is written completely wrong.Therefore there is no possible right answer. |
ariel777
Nov 19, 2008
| Almost good ...Need to add aarvark and lion to the list to get "alphabetical" otherwise it's just in "alphabet" sequence |

| I understand what everyone is saying and they are correct. You worded what you wanted wrong, BUT I figured out the word 'alphabet' so thought it was what you meant. It is most confusing though |

Nov 19, 2011
| I LOVED it! Clever teaser - and to all you complaining folks, this WAS in the trick category! Have a great weekend, friends! wink: |
HABS2933
Nov 19, 2011
| I agree Gayle, but you know some people do nothing but complain (take ofr instance one of the older comments where the guy admists he "dises" every riddle he has seen. These people complain every time they comment "too easy" "too hard" "it was a trick" and are never happy.
I honestly thin, that instead of a point requirement to be allowed to do something on here, they should make a rule that you can't comment on a quiz or teaser until you yourself have had at least 3 approved. Then these folks would see it isn't as easy to do as they apparently think it is.
**END OF RANT**
PS - I liked it. |

| Got the right answer, but for the wrong reason. Thought the sequence was meant to be Alpha, Beta... |
elentir
Nov 21, 2011
| I liked this one.
To everyone knocking on the sequence part - a sequence is simply a logical order. The logic this order was following was the word 'alphabet' and, since it is made of letters, it is alphabetical in nature as opposed to numerical or otherwise. |
