fun!
Good one! Keep 'em coming!!
Not to sound too pick-y... but what in the questions restrictions makes the following response less legitmite an answer?
Ice does not belong because, unlike the rest, it begins with a vowel.

Yea...I got the same thing as Errant.
How about tooth, it's the only one that isn't pluralized by adding an "s".
i came up with tooth because it was the only word that had repetitive letters in it
I removed ice because it was the only word you couldn't remove a letter and still have a word.
Too many possible answers.Should have elaborated more on the type of answer you were hunting.
Nice job. Guess I was just in a picky mood this morning as it came right to me. But may not be as easy for others.
Yay, got this one right away,ez pz thx
What is a Nit?
yqtbjkn, a nit is a very small thing. to nitpick is to be critical about minutia.

Not too difficult, but cute. I was trying to figure which ones could be either a verb or noun. When I came to nit...... the dawn came.
I liked this one as well. Took me a few minutes to figure out also, but then the light bulb went off. Thanks for posting.
ok
technically nit pick is two words... I kind of feel the same way about handpick. but it is an interesting teaser. thanks for the brainpick er

The answer "ice" because it starts with a vowel is wrong because that puzzle would be lame.
The answer "tooth" because it has a double vowel is wrong because that puzzle would be lame.
The answer "ice" because there's no way to remove a letter and leave a word is not as lame as the foregoing. It arguably isn't lame at all. However it's not as good a teaser as the intended answer.

And you can change the first letter of all but "ice" to S and create a new word.
ok i dont care what anyone says, that was really hard in fact it was too hard. like others have said, there were to many different answers
