those were all wrong.
I'll be honest with you I'm familiar with the puzzle, my math teacher loved riddles like this.

I'm not on a trip, the puzzle is in the words themselves, not their meaning or their cause/effect.

...hurm. I can't see a consistent pattern. Damn relative concepts

OH WAIT A BRILLIANT BREAKTHROUGH. Tits but no women?
Not so subtle reference to Lotus' original post.

Haha! I loved this game! I used to confuse the crap out of my friends with it!

I haven't read the other posts, so these might be repeats.

There; are beers but no wines; eels but no fish; bills but no money; gills but no air; feet but no toes; beets but no potatoes; grills but no fuel; spleens but no pancreases; fools but no idiots; cool people but no lame people; llamas but no horses; cheese but no milk; puzzles but no answers

Shall I keep going?

pointing out a mistake.

By golly, you're right! I'll edit that right now.

Rapidly losing interest. Last try:

Shoes but no feet.

Kites but no wind.

Nope.

Ready for me to explain yet?

So, it's not based on predecessor - successor. Nor cause - effect. Nor object - component.

This had better not be one of those really lame ones where it's based on the number of letters or something.

Eh. Yeah I give up.

In my world there are dresses but no skirts, Summer but no Winter, Fall but no Spring, brooks but no streams, grass but no land, rabbits but no wolves ( ), cherries but no watermelon, tees but no clothes, books but no pages,(can you tell that i know the game? ), bottoms but no tops, bottles but no cans, teddy bears but no real bears, giraffes but no lions, hippos but no rhinos, bubbles but no soap, swimming but no water, running, but no walking, glass but no plastic, wallets but no purses, food but no soup, doors but no windows, Russia but no Asia, Greece but no Europe, (do you get what the game is now?), snowballs but no snow, kittens but no cats, puppies but no dogs, balls but squares, and yellow but no purple.

My head just asploded.

might as well try it once. There are Dictionary's, but no words.

Oh I just got it now.

There are balloons but no air.

Cheese but no cubes.

Pizza but no Italy.

Cool but no warm.

Arrows but no directions.


I feel smart now!

I wish I could've thought of that =p

Punchees but no punchers!
Happiness and no sloth.
School but no holidays?! D':

Nope.

It has to do with the spelling of the words. look at what the first word has, but the second hasn't.

if you don't get it after that, I'll explain.
