We have a winnah ! But you really ought to stick around and try for the big pink panda..............



seventy
brawl
clover
proper
carrot
swing
change
travel
sacred
stone

Which word is the odd one out and why ?

[chalice]

I haven't got a notion.
Gimme that panda anyway, I've got kids man.
One cupie doll isn't enough to go around.

seventy as its the only number

havnt got a clue either!!

[Riddler]

Tell you what, I'll give you the Elmo doll if you answer the WHY. The WHAT is................carrot.

[chalice]

Umm.. because its the only word that has one of its letters repeated
in sucession? ie. the double r's? I doubt it though.

[Riddler]

Me too.

[chalice]

Umm....its the only word that splits into two words?
ie car and rot? My doubt deepens.

[Riddler]

Elmo's going.....going.....

[Riddler]

OK, then, can't let you go home empty-handed.

Last clue; first and last letters.

[Guillaume]

All the words form other words when you get rid of the first and last letter, except carrot.
