Ummm?

what?

huh?

(just trying to get in on the theme!)

Just like a game I made a while back. Cute.

^^ what they said

Got it on a guess, but it does make sense. Some things should stand out.

found the "standouts" but stuck on the next step...

NVM - got it on a guess...
Was making it harder than I needed to!

I remember way back when (although it really seems like a short time ago) when I thought the "Easy" puzzles really were easy. As of late, they stump me as much as or more than the hard ones!

Finally saw the "odd one out".
The rest was simple.
Gee, now I am following the rule.
How annoying!
Somebody stop me!

[10]I'm glad somebody can figure it out. I can't seem to get a single letter to match the properties I think I understand are salient. So I'm thinking of bigger units, and not yet finding them. :(

[11] Reading it aloud may help.

[11] As I said above, I was following the rule. (I no longer am, however, so this post is not salt, but the last one is ALL salt.) The key thing is that there is one word in each line (guess which one it is in line #7)

[13] Line #7 is the only thing I understand about this puzzle!

[12] & [13], I appreciate the nudges, but they are getting me nowhere, as I have tried the out loud method *several* times--to the point if I'm wondering if dialectical differences are a problem for anyone or more specifically for me--as well as looked at the singleton word on line seven very closely. :( I'll keep looking.

I sure did overthink this one.
Now I have figured it out.
I used the easier way
and got the right answer.

You would think with 3 examples (the original plus [10] and [16]) that I would finally get it, but that's not the case.

Alright, finally got it. Up until then, I felt kinda mocked, even though y'all were trying to help and it just wasn't getting through to me It's truly one of those you don't see it until you see it type puzzles. Then it's bloody obvious.

Though I think it would have been easier if it were constructed without the eight counterexamples, one per line!

quite good and excellent
clap clap clap applause
short simple sweet
but Yowsa! also hard

Should have got here sooner.

It's pretty easy if you just sound it out. Clap your hands while you are reading...

[20] same - only took so long cause I can't type :(

You solved this puzzle in 2 minutes and 29 seconds and were the 94th Tanga member to solve it. You earned 17 points for solving this.

alright 96th person to solve I am getting better at being the top 100.
[20] The clapping helped, I added one more clap to the forehead and said duh when I got it. I goes back to elementary school learning.

bah... bonus is over (102).

I feel so stupid right now with a face palm...
I kept trying
with the wrong emPHASis.

Thank you [20] never would have got it without you.

YAY! My first one word wonder. :) Go me!

Somebody told us how,
Anyone can solve this word game;
Just listen to each phrase,
And Talking out loud if need be.

You solved this puzzle in 1 minute and 38 seconds

Fun. I enjoyed that one.

What cause me the most trouble
Was not the twist or solution
But my poor spelling
