Ok, so on the thread where Genius asked what this game is all about - I sort of (finally) got it. But this one is throwing me off. I'm all confused again. Anyone care to explain how this works?

Hey, I never claimed to be a genius...

So can you explain. Like REALLY SLOWLY, so I can wrap my bubble head around it?

The first words in every line all follow a pattern that you hafta figure out.

But if you’re a beginner you should start with the easier ones. Let’s see if bubble wrap can pop this.
Teen but not twenty
See but not hear
Look but not stare
Book but not fare
Week but not year

Ohhh! I get it now. I was looking at the first and last letter (as per the other thread). And I guess I'm a genius after all, because I figured out this pattern. Wow! I never knew there were so many words like this! Too tired to think of my own now. I'll just go check out all of the other threads and see if I can get them.

ETA: I was referring to the first post in this thread. Now I'll go look at the one where we cross posted.
