Arabic vocabulary puzzles: find the odd one out

Four Arabic words, one doesnโ€™t belong. Sometimes it is the meaning, sometimes the grammar: gender, number, word type or the root the words come from. Every answer explains the pattern.

An Odd One Out puzzle: four Arabic words with transliteration

Patterns, not just meanings

Some puzzles are three fruits and a chair. Others hide a feminine noun among masculine ones, a verb among nouns, or a word from a different root. You start noticing the patterns everywhere.

Gets harder as you go

A round is ten puzzles at your level, ordered from easy to hard.
