Necromania Commission
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.
Why are these words grouped together?

Answer
They are couples. The first column has a masculine term in each word and the second has a feminine term in each word, although not always terms that we should necessarily use.

| Excellent teaser! I think I must have always gotten "fille" confused with the slang "filly" (which is also just slightly less politically correct, lol!). Learn something new, eh?

| Overall good teaser. Hint made it less of a challenge. ("Hidded Within" made me automatically look for words inside of words. The opposites showed up easily). I did learn some new terms though! |
