By the way, my #231 really is easyish. I’ll retract my threat to post a more difficult puzzle of this type. ---

Re: Indistinguishable’s puzzle. By the way, it may have been Lousy/Louse that gave it away. It always struck me as amusing or odd that this was a basic vocabulary item! 😛 ---

In case anyone is still working on the riddle with the words, I think it is fair to note that another source lists LONELINESS instead of SOLITUDE , and DELIGHT instead of JOY. Other discrepancies on words not so far given: Source#1(Wiki) : GOODNESS Source#2: GOOD Source#1: SOFTNESS Source #2: SENSITIVITY +++ Source #2 doesn’t list SPRING or LUXURY at all.\* +++ - However, because WIKI provides links with pictures of each, I think it represents a more complete list and thus SPRING and LUXURY certainly belong. ---

Ah! The one that doesn’t belong is GREED. There is no Lake of Greed on the moon. (For what it’s worth, I tried for a long time to make these words correspond to Greek gods after which moons of other planets were named. Alas, that didn’t go anywhere… But I was close, in some sense!) ---

Alas, that didn’t go anywhere… But I was close, in some sense!) Finally! Good job \*\*Indistinguisable \*\*. I came up with the puzzle to go with the super moon eclipse that we were all going to watch last weekend. Alas, clouds and rain prevented that viewing.
