Swap one word from the first list with one word in the second list so that the two lists have a similar, though different, property. Which two words must be swapped and what is the property?

List 1: ink, fur, eight, ouch

List 2: sea, grow, ear, edge

Answer:

The words that must be swapped are "fur" and "edge".

The property is that each word can have the pair of letters s and l added to it and a new word is formed. List 1 words must have "sl" added at the beginning, while list 2 words must have "ls" added at the end.

List 1: (sl)ink, (sl)edge, (sl)eight, (sl)ouch

List 2: sea(ls), grow(ls), ear(ls), fur(ls)
