Odd one out: a short word puzzle
Four or five words, one that doesn’t belong. Find the category the others share, and the odd one out usually breaks it in one clear way. Every set is freshly generated from original word lists.
How to solve odd-one-out word puzzles
Name the group before you scan. Say “these are birds” in your head and the word that isn’t a bird stands out immediately. If two groups seem possible, look for the one that includes every word but one.
Watch for words with two meanings. The generator avoids pairings that share words in everyday speech, such as fruits and fruit trees, so there is always one fair answer.
Word puzzles in the Cognilo app
Word Bridge in the app mixes odd-one-out rounds with unscrambling and categorising. Because vocabulary depends on what you already know, the Language rating is shown on its own and does not count toward the overall Training Rating.
Frequently asked questions
Why is Language kept out of the overall rating?
Word puzzles depend on vocabulary you already have, which varies with language background and reading history. Keeping Language separate means the overall Training Rating is not skewed by it.
