Even something as innocent as a voice recognition system can be
turned into a puzzle by a creative Enigmatologist. We spoke a
bunch of words that belong to the same set (though they don't
comprise the whole set) into our voice-input system. Each line
below contains the four alternatives (none is a correct
word itself) that the system came up with for each word we spoke.
To pass this course, figure out the single word that describes
each and every element of the set.
did, bed, head, it
flat, lack, lap, Latin
trauma, job, chalk, drama
nor, more, Mark, your
mentoring, meditating, nutrient, mainframe
faulted, vaulted, phobic, bulk
sarcasm, sarcastic, surpass, sergeants
asking, casting, caffeine, napkin
jibe, Hannah, chat, shined
quarrel, oral, call, full
