Language Solution

How It Works

Make analogies. See if they're valid. Use logic to match up words. 😃

Smart teams will notice that many of the alien words start with the same prefix. They will also notice that the English words fall into a few different categories (Living things, colors, etc.) Each prefix belongs to a different category of words. Teams should be able to use analogies to figure out most of the dictionary using analogies such as "Red/Stop => Green/Go".

Once they have decoded enough words, they should be able to translate the sheet of eight words. Looking at the first letter of each decoded word should give the final answer.
