Can you name the correct words which fit the progressively more difficult patterns?

created by skuban

Enter a word in the box below
Correctly named words will show up below
Answers do not have to be guessed in order
Some wrong answers will appear in red
* Every word in the first line (✔) follows a pattern. Every word in the second (×) doesn't follow that pattern. Can you pick the one word in the third line (?) which does follow the pattern?
FORMAT: Each question is worth two points-- one for the answer, and one for NOT using the hint. To get 100%, you cannot use any hints. TO REQUEST A HINT, type "Hint" or "H" plus the question number for which you need the hint. If you do not request a hint, you have two guesses to get the correct answer.

	Great quiz, but I wish it would show the pattern even if you get the answer on the second guess.

	@yellowdart: That would be nice, but at least there's the solution guide.

	Wow. I found this much more difficult than the first one. Or maybe I'm just not thinking clearly today. Either way, great thought-provoking quiz skuban!

	I love these kind of puzzles and have never seen one here before. Now that I know this is a sequel I can go have more fun. Happy New Year to me!Happy New Year everyone!! Thanks skuban!

	For the last set - "words that either begin or end with a state abbreviation" also fits the pattern...for any number of reasons - I knew that wasn't the "real" pattern - but my slightly hungover brain went there this morning and it would've been correct...

	If you still can't get the answer after the hint, stop taking hints and start guessing both times, because you just might get it the first time.

	Like the quiz. I wish the "common link" was put in the box instead of the "0/2" but I can see why they might not have wanted to for repeated quiz takers. Nice.

	NathanW197:	Jan 2nd, 2013 at 16:13 GMT		2 points
	This may have been intentional, but Hint 6 is more of a red herring than an actual hint, given that "consonance" and "consonants" are not the same thing. I spent forever trying to figure out how the consonant sounds in the different words were related.
