STAIRS and FLOORS should be switched. That would make group #1 have only words where the letters are in alphabetical order and group #2 would be only words where they are not in alphabetical order.Hide Answer Show Answer

Great!
Yay! First one!
Yay! First one!
lol. Clever!
I could see that FLOORS needed to be moved to group 1 but I thought it was because then every word would have a double letter. LL, OO, SS and CC. Skiing could also have worked because of the double II. I could not see a pattern in group 2! Bummer...
Fun teaser. Thanks!
Fun teaser. Thanks!
I thought "skiing" needed to be moved from 2 to 1 because all the other words in 1 were divided into two syllables between the double letters, but I couldn't see why "stairs" should be moved to 2 other than it did not belong with the other two syllable words in 1.
This teaser I liked but it looked allot harder then it actuallly was..
I liked this teaser and it was clever. The only thing that bothered me was that there could have been several answers to each group. Good job tho! U got me!
Good teaser. The double-letter thing was a nice red herring!
