This is a continuation of the very long Reverse Empathy thread. Someone more clever than I am may want to post to this forum to make links to the previous two threads.

Thanks Art Duval, the lesson is start out general and provide more info if guess is not specific enough.

You're right, kfas2! Feel free to post the answer and start the next puzzle.

Ok. So these are probably names of Othello openings. And if so I'll be ready with a puzzle on Saturday

#16 · romei

I don't really believe this is the answer, but just to get it out of the way:

Three-letter words?

#21 · kfas2

24 Nov 2013

Well these are only three letter words, but with an extra feature :-)

#22 · kfas2

25 Nov 2013

9. ion
10. set
11. row

#23 · Carroll

Three letter parts you can find both at the beginning and at the end of some words?

#24 · kfas2

25 Nov 2013

getting closer.
12. pie
pay is not on the list
13. lie
most probably not lay
14. ill

I'm also quite convinced that
the does not belong to my list.

The hint is that I can be sure if something is on the list, but I'm only almost certain saying that some word is not on the list.

15. pet
16. ray
17. ant
18. val

1. Mon
2. Shr
3. Gro
4. Rab
5. Tou
6. Gop
...
If so - good one!

Yes. For 3. I thought you can use Mo
The beginning does not have to be three letter. You can coin the phrase and start next puzzle.

Congratulations FatPhil.

Here we go. There really is no more appropriate place to start than with a fight:

1. Fight
2. Soldier
3. Army
4. Marines

I guess I'm glad to see that Lehrer isn't so obscure.

3 letter words? One of these days I'm sure it will be something really simple like this (although probably not today...)

#43 · William Fraser

26 Dec 2013

20. Aim (but not Way)
21. Sad (but not Sac)

(Hint: There is a list to which my words can be correlated.)

3-letter words composed of ordered (but not necessarily consecutive) letters in the corresponding element of the periodic table.

0. nada
1. one
2. dos
