I have a list of five words. They are PINT, RATE, TURN, NEST and WIND. One of these words is the magic word. Your task is to figure it out. Here is your clue: if I tell you any one letter in the magic word, then you can tell me the number of consonants in the magic word. What is the magic word?
-
has to be wind.
if u say D,W
no other word has d,w so u know its wind, which you know has 3
if u say N,
the word has to be either, PINT, TURN, NEST, or WIND which all have the same amount of consonants so no matter what word it is u know it will have 3
if u say I
the word has to be PINT or WIND, which both have 3 consonants
therefore you will know exactly how many consonants no matter what word you pick.\
