Brain Teasers
Relationships #13
Group
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.Group
In this teaser your job is to discover what all the words in COLUMN A have in common with each other.
The words in COLUMN B do not have any relationship with COLUMN A or with each other. They are there to help you check your theory for the words in COLUMN A. COLUMN B is also there to eliminate answers that are technically correct, but trivial, such as 'words with less than 12 letters', and so on. Good luck!
COLUMN A
Deal
Valid
Hint
Valor
Rabble
COLUMN B
Boat
Proud
Big
Lime

That was really good! But I found it hard. This helps my English
Ahhh, ok. That was well though out. Good job
*thought*
ok soso
yeah, um...you lost me there
sorry, i just don't understand the point of column B. it's really not that necessary to have two columns. people would have an easier time of it if you only had column A.

Yeah - I don't see the value in Column B either. Though it does make for a challenging decoy
WHAT THE.... ?!?!
Column B is very important. Without column B, you could come up with God-only-knows how many different criteria that the words in column A match. Like he says, they all have fewer than 12 letters.
They all have either an L or an H.
They all have a vowel for the second letter.
They all have a letter in the B-L range of the alphabet for the third-from-last letter.
Are these criteria going to be considered significant to a human in general? No, not even close. But they are all possible answers, and you never know if you have the "right answer" because you don't know how significant the criteria is supposed to be. Column B is all about narrowing it down so you know when your theory is wrong.
