These words are their own opposites. They have contradictory meanings depending on the context in which they are used. They are also called contronyms. An example is "cleave" which means both "to stick to" and "to split apart". Ready?

  1. This janus word can mean "moving quickly" or "not moving", as in "He was running ____ to help since his friend's tongue was stuck ____ to a pole."
  2. This janus word can mean "to separate" or "to join", as in "____ the coupons you want from the Sunday newspaper and we'll ____ them together and take when we shop."
  3. This can mean either "to have gone" as a verb past tense; as an adjective, it means "remaining". After we ___ there were only three people ____ in the theater.
  4. This can mean either "a solution" or "a problem". We need a ___ for the broken car key or we'll really be in a ___ when it's time to go home.
  5. This word means "to last under use" or "to erode under use". A well-made shoe will ____ well; only the soles will ____ a little.

In this teaser, you have to find the odd ones out in the groups of words. BUT WAIT! There's a catch. Each group of words has TWO words which do not belong. Can you find them both?

EXAMPLE:

Lily - Jane - Tulip - Rose

Jane does not belong as it's the only one which is not a flower.

Tulip also does not belong because it's the only one which is not a girl's name.

You're on your own for the rest!

  1. Aqua - Hazel - Willow - Cherry

  2. Cat - Sword - Hamster - Dog

  3. Prince - Double - Queen - King
