Odd One Out

[canyouhelp?]

Which is the odd one out? Caravan - Realise - Busiest - Climate - Blanket

Thanks in advance

[Ninnynanny]

Are the answers linked to any theme?

If not, Blanket, has only 2 vowels the other words contain 3 vowels.

Another way of looking at it is that in four of the words you can form a word using the first few letters: Car, Real, Bus, and Blank. However, you cannot do this with "Climate".

[tonyav]

Caravan is the only word that does not have an ''E'' in it.

[stuey]

Already three different answers. To a lot of these "Odd one out" questions there is no real definite answer.

[magicmick]

I do not find busiest in the dictionary

[scorpiojo]

Busiest is an adjective?

[stuey]

Another interpretation could be that "Caravan" is the only word that does not have a t or an e at the end of the word.

[scorpiojo]

Ignore my suggestion

[Patsy33]

Means of transport inside? Caravan=car/van
Busiest= bus, Climate= camel, Blanket= tank, Realise ?? Maybe odd one out.

[stuey]

I like that, Patsy33. It sort of goes to prove my point at 2314.

Blanket - names or anagrams of names in centre of others - Ava, Lisa, Susie, Liam

[Svejk]

^And Ken.
Caravan were the only good group?

[Davemano]

Agreed Svejk - without a theme where do you draw the line

[stuey]

Another answer is that "Realise" is the only word that doesn't begin with the second and third letter of the alphabet...There's almost no end to the different interpretations.

[stuey]

Should have said "second or third".

[canyouhelp?]

Thanks for all your help. No, there wasn't a theme which makes it quite tricky to work out the answer they're looking for! Might submit a couple of the above suggestions.

[canyouhelp?]

Posting an update as I've just seen the solution in the magazine. Absolutely impossible in my opinion to have guessed this! Blanket - the others begin with the first three letters of successive American presidents: Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton. The next word should, therefore, also start with BUS for Bush (George W) and not the first three letters of our former prime minister: BLAir. It's also the word with the fewest vowels.

[scorpiojo]

Of course! ;o))

Thank you.
