Hmmm, this one is quite tough. I think it's time for a little collaboration :) I'm thinking the rule has something to do with the number of vowels versus the number of consonants, but I can't figure out the relationship.

(1 vowel, 1 consonant)

be

at

me

(1 vowel, 2 consonants)

now

row

bat

(1 vowel, 3 consonants)

fast

last

lust

(2 vowels, 1 consonant)

ore

are

ale

(2 vowels, 2 consonants)

lead

make

abet

Hey all/anyone. Been watching this one regularly and see it's still being viewed at least. Am feeling pretty rotten that I may have killed this thread. Really dont think the rule is too outlandish. It's not as difficult as DD's last analysis. Would be fine with revealing the rule if anyone wants to start a new one. Or

try arranging by length of word to see if anything then looks promising

words with an even number of letters must end in a vowel. Words with an odd number of letters must end in a consonant?

Yes, that's it. Woot Woot! Thanks DD. Your turn. Do appreciate it and enjoy this thread. Would love any and all opinions as to the appropriateness of difficulty.

Thanks, PG. Was certainly a valid rule, I just couldn't see it. Having the spreadsheet from Gly helped. I just needed to also put in some of the words that didn't fit the rule and then it started to stand out.

Ok, I have a rule so people can start guessing (I hope it isn't too tricky)
