0 t8t8t8 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 I think it's the word great, because all the other words have an vowel as the second letter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 I'd say that "pilchard" is the odd word out because that was the only one I didn't know. As for legitimate guesses, I've got nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 It's pilchard because you can make new words with the other words. jobber yeller pilchard (nothin) quitter puncher greater buyer or standby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 It could also be pilchard because it is the only one with two syllables. but I don't know what makes the other words cool, so that's probably not it either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 My first thought was pilchard because it is the only one with two syllables. Seems a little too simple of an answer though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 I would say by, as its the only one thats not a noun, adjective or verb.Its the only one without a proper vowel and there was another reason but i forgot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 t8t8t8 Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Pilchard, because I looked it up and it said it's a fish and its the only noun. Punch can be a noun, but it doesn't have to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 pilchard .. it's the only one to have more than one syllable. Although, I think there may be more than one answer on this, depending on how you look at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 My first post ever ...the answer it Job... You can pronounce it in 2 ways. Job as in a Job or "Jobe" as in the Book of Job from the Bible. Also Job is the only one that is present from the Bible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 If you put by at the top, like so: by job yell pilchard quit punch great Pilchard would be out of place with its eight letters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 "great" because it's the only word with another word in it "eat" - Probably not even close but I wanted to play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
