I've heard some variations of this that latched on to doubled letters or something, but not this one in particular (no pun intended)   Summarizing because I read things easier this way: Yes: I, you, we, cats, a puppy, beggars, greed, fear No: he, she, they, dogs, a kitten, givers, humility, peace IP Logged ivan Newbie     Posts: 3 Re: What is "this"?   « Reply #3 on: Jan 28th, 2003, 11:16am » Quote Modify Well, I just looked it up for those dying to know...   All the "yes" words can be typed with one hand on a computer keyboard in the home position.   I personally don't like this puzzle.
