That must have taken A LOT of thinking! Not my kind of teaser, but good.
Smart
Took a while to figure out exactly what to do, but eventually I figured it out. Excellent!
I shouldn't try to solve these things without a normal nights sleep...Excellent Teaser !!!
I got it after the hint, very clever!
I really didn't get that teaser, it was really confusing, especially the hint.
WOW!!! That was a hard teaser. I got it right for the wrong reasons, after reading the hint. I thought maybe the two words starting with a vowel would go in group A cuz most of the words in group A started with a vowel. The other I put in group B just because I had nowhere else to put it.
So I guess I can't say woohoo on this one even thought I got it, but I had fun with it.
Thanks, and send another like it...I plan on being ready for the next one.

Wonderful teaser, lots of fun
I stink at these...
I thought they were types of tea, and was looking for earl grey...

I gave up after 30 seconds. This was really hard for me, didn't understand it at all.
You lost me on that one.....
Nice one; the title gave it away though. Actually it doesn't matter what the rule for group B is - once you know the rule for group A, anything that doesn't fit there goes into group B by elimination
Didn't really get the instructions. When it said sort them , it didn't specify where to sort them. Into a 3rd group, or what ?Oh, well, no excuses. I figured out group A from the title, and then group B was fairly easy, but I didn't know what to do with the 3rd set.
I wonder if there's one that goes in both groups...
(lol, wasted your time)

Wow, I got it! This is the first one of these types I did get, after learning how these things work and taking the time to do it. The tattoo part got it going, and only afterward did I put all of this and the title together.
Ouch that one hurt! (too much thinking, too little solving!)
Just figured I needed to drink more teas.
very good.
very good.
I thought sort meant list in alphabetical order. I was lost however. I solve this with the instructions given then I will work the NYT Crossword in ink.
very clever!!! tea for two and two for tea!!
Good teaser - I didn't quite get it until I saw the hint. I didn't see the title in the beginning.
Tough one. I had no clue. Well done!
godd one
Great tea-ser! Didn't get it but a good concept!
i dont get it
Your instructions are too vague. To "sort" words means to put them in order, based (one would assume) on the sample orderings given in groups A and B. Your instructions should have been to "Classify" not "Sort".
Hey, that was neat!~ The hint helped a lot, and I feel better than I would've if I merely gave up and saw the answer. Yippee!
Nice teaser!
