Well, survivor, you asked for it. Here's a relatively simple one. Another 'What do these have in common' lists.

So, what do the following words have in common?

Bent
Abet
Flop
First
Lot
Elms

Shouldn't be too hard, but I hope it's not too easy, either.

Substance
Upward
Percussion
Perspicacious
Eradicate
Revery

Does that work?

Nope . . . but it sure makes me hungry. ;-9

somebody noticed my 'misdirection', eh?

I think I'm going to re-post this in the 'open discussions' forum, as Kathleen has pointed out these don't belong here.

The only thing I noticed is that the first letters of all the words spell BAFFLE.

Is that it?

Falken224--

Besides the first letters spelling BAFFLE (cute!), the letters of each word are arranged alphabetically.

Take care!
