Around the World
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.
Aviva was planning to take a trip around the world. She liked names that were similar to hers, so she made a list of places she would like to visit.
However, one of these places doesn't belong. Which one is it?
Arrawarra, Australia
Caraparac, Peru
Daba Qabad, Somalia
Krape Park, United States
Nagubugan, Philippines
Oktahatko, Florida
Ilokano, Polynesia
HintLook at her name closely.

Answer
Ilokano, Polynesia. The rest of the places are palindromes, like her name.

| This was pretty simple. But, it was nice to see the different places in the world that are palindromes! |

| Very easy, but really clever. It must have taken some real research to come up with all of those places. Well done ! Thanks.   |

| It's common to identify cities with their countries in less populated countries and cities and states/provinces in places like the US, Canada, and China. Also, Polynesia isn't a country either. |

| Nice one! However Polynesia isn't a country and Ilokano is in the Phillipines! |

| Poorly constructed puzzle. There are two reasonable alternative answers. First, "Krape Park," because it is the only location that doesn't consist of 4 syllables. Second, "Oktahatko," because it is the only location specified to be in a state rather than in a country. But I'm just irritated because I totally missed the palindrome connection. |

| And that's what I get for not reading the puzzle carefully. |

| I won't say this is another repeat, because wordmama gets mighty upset at me for saying that. So I will say this is another do over. |

| You made me LOL, doehead! Thanks for the acknowledgment, regardless of the spirit in which it was meant! But that's right; I'd not seen it before.
As for a "regular" comment, I got the right answer but missed the palindrome aspect, only noticing that first and last letters were the same; do I get 1/2 a point?? |
