What is the Special Rule for the words?
$begingroup$
The goal of this puzzle is to find a particular rule which causes words to either go on the left column, or the right column. While I used a similar LaTeX code for my table below, this is an original puzzle that I created.
I wanted to make a real puzzle that actually has an answer, unlike another person made a fake one with a random list of words calling them "Ipsum words". I think it's pretty clear that no rule existed for theirs. Plus, it seems they simply stole another post verbatim and changed the words.
Instead, I made my own list, but FIRST I created a real RULE for which words go on the left or right, and THEN I created a list of words.
So, I guarantee there really is a rule for this! :)
TIPS:
- This rule could apply to almost any word that would be put on either the left, or the right column.
- This rule cannot apply to both columns. A word will either go on the left or the right because of this rule.
For example, if you chose the word "Puzzling", I could tell you right away that it goes on the right side just by thinking about my rule with respect to the word.
- The rule is not very hard or complex, it does not take any math degree or a genius to discover it. I did not make it too convoluted, although if it's too easy, then the next time I will make it marginally harder.
Have fun!
