    Nope, too.

    My feeling is that when respondents come up with a plausible answer, I should not just say they're wrong, but feedback a further clue that demonstrates that it's not that; it's something else. When I said 'yeah' to the first guess, I meant, "Yeah - that's true, but it's not the right answer..." (I won't say whether or not it was the right word.)

    So, in response to both the guesses so far....

    pure

    could be in there, but would not be the odd-one-out...

    Remember the great Roy Walker of Catchphrase.


    "That's a good answer........But not right!"

    I'll go with "terror."

    The others are not as scary.

    Still wrong I know.

    "Salads"

    Only one with a repeated vowel in it.

    This answer is unbelievably boring and undoubtedly wrong, but it (and jajdude's) might help earn us another example like "pure".

    Gland, as all others can be typed on a single line of a qwerty keyboard.
    I like poetry,long walks on the beach and poking dead things with a stick.
