As a wild guess, I'd say to try looking at words that can replace each of the 6 given and see when can mean or be used for talking - for instance a plant might be tulips (two lips)
Since I'm not any good at this sort of riddle, I tend to leave it to those who are...

Don't feel bad, rmsgrey. I don't understand the answer either. If it doesn't involve computer science or discrete math I am a bit slow

I too find WombatDeath's answer to be as impenetrable as the original riddle.
Sheesh! I write that, and as I am waiting for it to post, the answer jumps out at me. For those as dense as I am: the second group, because every word contains silent letters.
