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
Greep Hooke was asked by a priest to determine which FOUR (4) words below should be in his IN-BOX and which FOUR (4) words should be in his OUT-BOX.
The priest said that the real challenge however was to do so in such a way that each word in the IN-BOX be paired with a word in the OUT-BOX.
SISTER SKIRT SHY SPRING
SANE SECT SAT SPED
Question : How should the words be grouped and paired?

SISTER SKIRT SHY SPRING
SANE SECT SAT SPED
Question : How should the words be grouped and paired?
Hint
This may sound crazy but SANE should be in the OUT-BOX said the priest while putting on his cassock.Answer
Words in the IN-BOX are listed first, and the related word found in the OUT-BOX is listed second:inSECT...outSKIRT
SinISTER...SoutANE
SHinY...SPoutED
SATin...SPRoutING
Words are grouped based on which of IN or OUT could be added to form a new word.
Words are paired based on where IN or OUT could be added to the word.
Hint : While SANE could also be under IN-BOX to read INSANE, proper pairings would not be possible if that is done hence the hint. A SOUTANE is also called a CASSOCK. Crazy suggests INSANE.

Out of this World
many thanks
Good riddle, I thought you actually meant that the words were to be paired off. My fault I guess I should have read the problem better. Food for thought I thought Satin was spelled with two i's hmmm I better look that up for me. I'm not saying your spelling is bad, because if you want to see bad spelling look at my two riddles and saee if you can discrypt them ha.
i will. thanks
