THE RIDDLER

Which word is the odd one out? (For bonus marks: what word can you replace it with in order to make the list complete again?)

TIN
MINIM
MILITIA
SIEVE
LINEN
AVOID 

Answer:

LINEN. The list contains the Roman numerals from one to six, with each word having a numeral made up of every second letter in the word. So:

tIn = I
mInIm = II
mIlItIa = III
sIeVe = IV
linen = ?
aVoId = VI

Linen doesn’t follow the pattern. The word you would need here is “eve” (eVe).
